ELI+ is a strong chat and email layer inside Entrata. Frontdesk is the voice and outbound layer it doesn't ship with — answering every call, calling every lead back in 60 seconds, and writing it all back to Entrata.

The Problem
Entrata keeps your data tight, but the moment leasing offices close, prospect and resident calls roll to voicemail or a rotating on-call phone. Nothing in the native Entrata stack picks up at 8 PM on a Saturday.
Entrata runs accounting, leases, and workflows beautifully, but voice calls, SMS conversations, and 60-second outbound speed-to-lead are still manual jobs your team is doing by hand.
By the time a Entrata user opens the prospect record and dials, the lead has already toured a competitor. Entrata stores the lead — it doesn't call it back in 60 seconds.
Maintenance, rent questions, lockouts, and renewal calls all share one inbound number. Entrata routes the ticket once you get the call — but your team still has to answer it first.
How Frontdesk Works

Captured
Frontdesk handles two-way SMS and website chat with the same brain as voice, then pushes every conversation into the Entrata contact or resident record.
More capabilities
Frontdesk calls every new lead within 60 seconds, runs structured day-3 and day-7 nurture cadences, and re-engages cold prospects sitting in Entrata.
The same Frontdesk agent handles maintenance intake, rent questions, and renewal conversations — routing each into the correct Entrata workflow automatically.

Every step syncs to Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, or ResMan in real time.
Step 1
Inbound voice calls, outbound AI voice, SMS, WhatsApp, web chat, email, ILS lead forms (Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, Zumper, Rent.com, ApartmentList, HotPads, Realtor.com Rentals), and walk-in inquiries are answered instantly with portfolio-aware context — across multifamily apartment communities, build-to-rent (BTR), single-family rental (SFR), student housing, senior living, and affordable / LIHTC properties.
Step 2
Guest cards, work orders, renewals, payment notes, hardship flags, and tour bookings flow into Yardi Voyager 7S, Yardi Breeze, RentCafe, RealPage OneSite, Knock CRM, Entrata Core, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, ResMan, Rent Manager, MRI Software, DoorLoop, TenantCloud, and Funnel CRM in real time. Calendar sync with Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, and PMS-native calendars. No double-entry.
Step 3
No-show recovery within 5 minutes, dormant-lead reactivation, 90/60/30/15-day renewal cadences, day-of-due rent reminders, tiered delinquency outreach, payment-plan negotiation, autopay enrollment, maintenance status updates, and Google review requests fire automatically — with the right cadence and channel per resident persona.
Step 4
Cross-property dashboards track speed-to-lead, tour-booked rate, tour-to-lease conversion, no-show rate, recovery rate, average maintenance SLA, emergency response time, renewal rate, delinquency reduction, payroll savings, and NOI impact — across every community. AI call scoring and QA flags replace mystery shopping.
