One hotline for 30 properties is a recipe for wrong-property tickets and lost calls. Frontdesk identifies the property at intake, applies the right rubric, and dispatches into the correct PMS workflow — every time.

The Problem
Centralized portfolios advertise one number; residents do not remember which property they live at by the corporate name.
Property A has a dedicated tech; property B is on a regional rotation; property C uses a third-party vendor. Static IVR cannot capture this.
High-rise vs. garden-style. Class A vs. workforce. Different no-heat thresholds, different escalation chains.
Some operators run mixed stacks — Yardi for legacy, AppFolio for new acquisitions, RealPage for one region.

AI Transcript
“Hi! I’d love to tour the 2-bedroom at Maple Heights. Any availability this Saturday?”
Frontdesk AI
“Yes! The 2BR at Maple Heights is $2,450/mo with a Feb 1 move-in. Saturday 11am or 2pm works for tours. Shall I book one?”
Frontdesk identifies the property by phone number, ANI lookup, or the resident's phone-on-file, then confirms with the caller in one question.
Looking for a 2BR around $2,400, move-in mid-February. Do you allow pets?
We have a 2BR at $2,450/mo available Feb 15. Cats and dogs under 50 lbs welcome. What’s your move-in date?
Captured
