Emergencies and routine tickets get the same response
A water leak waits in the same queue as a light bulb.
Property damage from delayed response.
RealPage emergency triage
AI emergency maintenance triage for RealPage OneSite
A 2 AM leak should not wait until 9 AM. Frontdesk classifies emergencies in real time, routes to on-call staff in seconds, opens the OneSite work order, and updates ActiveBuilding before the resident hangs up.

The Problem
On-call staff get paged for non-emergencies
When triage is weak, on-call gets woken up for everything.
Burnout, turnover, and ignored pages.
Voicemail kills emergency response
Residents leave voicemail about a leak and nothing happens until morning.
Major property damage and resident churn.
Status updates do not reach the resident
Resident calls back asking for updates because ActiveBuilding never reflects status.
Extra calls, lower NPS, frustrated managers.
How Frontdesk Works
Built for multifamily operators on Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, ResMan — and every other major PMS.
