Use Case Example

Let's delve into a use case that illustrates how effective maintenance and work order management, combined with an integrated ERP system through Propertese, can enhance property management.

Maintenance Request Submission

Tenant Perspective: Lisa, a tenant at one of XYZ Properties' rental units, notices a malfunctioning air conditioner. Lisa reports a maintenance issue through the Propertese platform, which is integrated with an ERP system. It kicks into action, routing the request to the appropriate property manager. This eliminates manual handling, reducing the chances of errors and delays.

Property Manager Perspective: John, the property manager at XYZ Properties, receives a notification through thesystem about Lisa's maintenance request. He accesses the system to review the request details, including the attached photos. Propertese classifies the issue as urgent due to the high temperature, prompting John to take immediate action.

Lease Review and Acceptance: Lisa reviews the renewal terms online and finds them acceptable. She electronically signs the renewal agreement through the platform, indicating her intention to renew the lease.

Work Order Assignment

John initiates a work order within the system, which automatically assigns the task to Dave, a contractor skilled in HVAC repairs. Dave receives a notification regarding the assigned work order through email.

Dave inspects the request details and acknowledges the assignment. He updates the work order status in real time as he begins to diagnose the problem.

Real-Time Updates and Communication

Tenant Perspective: Lisa can track the status of her maintenance request through the portal. She receives automated updates as the request progresses from assignment to completion.

Contractor Perspective: Dave updates the work order status as he inspects, repairs, and completes the air conditioner repair. Lisa receives notifications at each stage of the process.

Scheduling and Reminders

Property Manager Perspective:John schedules regular maintenance checks for the property's HVAC systems through the platform. Automated reminders are sent to both tenants and contractor to ensure timely inspections.
