The Challenge

Oakbridge Property Management's team was handling approximately 184 maintenance requests per month across its 275 residential rental units.

Staff spent considerable time gathering missing information, identifying priorities, contacting vendors, and communicating with residents.

The Vitalis Labs Solution

Vitalis Labs implemented an AI maintenance coordination system that:

  • Collected tenant maintenance requests.
  • Categorized issues by type and urgency.
  • Requested missing maintenance details.
  • Prepared work-order information.
  • Routed issues to the appropriate team member.
  • Drafted updates for staff approval.
  • Escalated emergencies according to established procedures.

Staff approval remained part of the communication process, while emergencies followed established escalation procedures.
