Inbound: the customer calls

Rooftop units and loading doors logged for maintenance

A tenant's rooftop unit blowing warm air in July can't wait for Monday, and neither can a loading door stuck open overnight. Every service call becomes a work order, and the urgent ones reach your on-call person at once.

When it starts

A tenant calls about something broken in their unit or the common areas.

What the agent does

Identifies the unit, logs the problem, sorts urgent from routine, gives the tenant a work order number.

What your team gets

A work order with the unit, problem and access notes, and on-call alerted only when it counts.

How it works

  1. Finds the tenant

    By business name, unit or property, and confirms who is calling and the best number.

  2. Gets the problem clearly

    Which rooftop unit, which door, which washroom, what it's doing and since when.

  3. Sorts urgent from routine

    Water coming through the ceiling, a door that won't close, no heat in winter or a fire alarm fault go to on-call now. A flickering light goes on the list.

  4. Opens the work order

    With the unit, the problem, access hours and who to ask for, and reads the work order number back.

  5. Explains what's next

    When maintenance usually attends, and that a tenant-responsible repair under their lease may be billed back, as you've set it out.

  6. Updates on request

    A tenant calling back hears the work order status and when the technician is booked.

Example call

  1. CustomerThis is Kyle at Prairie Auto Parts, unit 3 at Sherwood Business Park. Our overhead door is stuck open and it's getting dark.
  2. AI agentThanks, Kyle. A door that won't close after hours is urgent. Is it stuck fully open, and is anyone staying on site?
  3. CustomerFully open. I can stay until 7.
  4. AI agentI'm calling the on-call technician now and I'll put you through. I'm also opening a work order. The number is 48217.
  5. AI agent(privately, to the technician) Sherwood Business Park, unit 3, Prairie Auto Parts. Overhead door stuck fully open, tenant on site until 7. Connecting Kyle now.
  6. CustomerThank you.

After the call: The on-call technician picks up already knowing the unit, the door and the 7:00 deadline. Work order 48217 is open with the call summary, and the property manager sees it in the morning report.

What your team gets

  • Work orders with the unit, problem and access details
  • Urgent calls warm-transferred to on-call, with a brief
  • Work order numbers read back to the tenant
  • Status updates for tenants who call back
  • A morning report of overnight calls by property
Set up with you: The team sets up a connection to your property management and work order system (Yardi, MRI Software or Building Engines), loads your tenants, units and on-call rota, and agrees which problems are urgent at each property.

Questions

How does it decide what's urgent?

From your list. Most landlords choose water entry, security problems like a door that won't close, no heat in winter, and life-safety system faults.

Does it tell tenants who pays?

It explains your rules on tenant-responsible repairs as you've written them. Disputes about a bill go to the property manager.

Can tenants check on a work order?

Yes. They call, give the number or their unit, and hear the status and when the technician is booked.

Does it work for multi-tenant office towers?

Yes. It handles suites, floors, common areas and building systems, with your building's own on-call rules.
