AI Maintenance Automation: 85% Faster Property Response
Achieved 100% automated intake and reduced emergency repair costs by 40%
The Challenge
The client manages a massive multi-family housing portfolio where maintenance coordination was a primary operational bottleneck. With thousands of tenants across multiple regions, communication was fragmented and highly manual.
Core Problem
<p>Maintenance requests were flooding in via unorganized WhatsApp messages and phone calls at all hours. Tenants often provided vague descriptions like 'something is broken' without photos, making it impossible for managers to distinguish between a minor leak and a catastrophic burst pipe. This lack of structure led to a 15% increase in property damage due to delayed emergency responses.</p>
Failure to address critical issues immediately didn't just frustrate tenants—it led to structural property damage costing over $250,000 annually and threatened the firm's reputation, leading to a spike in lease terminations.
The Solution
EnDevSols engineered a 24/7 AI-Powered Triage Bot integrated with the Meta Cloud API and powered by a FastAPI backend. We implemented a structured conversational flow that guides tenants through an intelligent intake process, enforcing data collection standards (location, issue type, and photos) before generating a ticket in the PostgreSQL database.
Secret Sauce
Our 'Secret Sauce' was the integration of OpenAI's GPT models to perform real-time intent and urgency classification. Unlike basic keyword-based bots, our system understands the nuance of tenant language and visual evidence. By analyzing text and metadata simultaneously, the AI can instantly elevate a 'flooding bathroom' to high-priority status while scheduling a 'loose cabinet door' for routine service.
