Tenant repairs on WhatsApp: sorted, booked and tracked

Set up for your business, in your own accounts.

Tenants report repairs on WhatsApp with a photo. It sends safety steps, opens the work order, books a plumber and keeps the tenant posted until the job is closed.

01The problem

Repair requests lost in texts and calls.

WhatsApp

A tenant in Unit 4B sends a WhatsApp photo of water under the kitchen sink. Within a minute they know to turn the valve and put a bowl under the drip, the work order is open in Buildium and Rapid Plumbing is booked for 3:00 pm. When the job is done, its photos and invoice go on the work order for the owner.

  • Tenants kept posted without calling the office

  • Closed jobs with photos and invoices for the owner

When it gets hard

  1. Water through the ceiling at night

    It sends the safety steps and calls the on-call vendor and the manager, not just a message.

  2. The photo is unclear

    It asks one simple question back, like “Is water still coming out?”, before sorting it.

  3. The vendor can't make it

    It books the next vendor on the list and tells the tenant the new time.

  • We set it up on your own WhatsApp Business number, with your own properties, vendors and rules in Buildium. You check it and approve it before any tenant uses it.

  • No. It works in the WhatsApp they already use, from the property's own business number.

  • They get the same steps and updates by text message instead.

  • We build it on the software you use, such as Buildium, so every work order lands where your team already works.
