Maintenance

Property Maintenance Automation

Maintenance is where property teams lose the most hours: requests arrive by phone, email and portal, get re-keyed into a system, then chased by hand. Almas turns that stream into structured, routed, monitored work.

What we automate

Multi-channel request capture

Requests from tenants, portals, email and phone logs are classified and turned into work orders automatically.

Automatic dispatch

Jobs are matched to the right contractor by trade, location, cost band and availability without a coordinator in the middle.

SLA and escalation rules

Response and completion targets are tracked continuously, with escalation the moment a job slips.

Cost control

Quotes, approvals and thresholds are enforced in workflow, so spend never leaves the agreed envelope.

Before and after

Without automation

  • Requests re-keyed from three inboxes into one system
  • Contractor follow-up by phone every morning
  • SLA breaches discovered after the tenant complains
  • No portfolio-wide view of open maintenance jobs

With Almas Software Systems

  • Every request captured and classified on arrival
  • Contractors dispatched and updated automatically
  • SLA clocks monitored with automatic escalation
  • One live view of every job across the portfolio

In practice

How this works in a real operation

A managing agent handling several thousand units routed maintenance through a shared inbox. Requests are now classified on arrival, dispatched by trade and location, and escalated automatically at 80% of the SLA window — the coordination role became an exception-handling role.

Frequently asked questions

What is property maintenance automation?

It is the use of workflow and AI to capture maintenance requests, create work orders, dispatch contractors and monitor SLAs without manual coordination at each step.

Does it replace our existing property management system?

No. Almas sits alongside it, integrating through APIs so work orders, costs and statuses stay in the system your team already uses.

How quickly can maintenance automation go live?

Most teams start with a single high-volume workflow — reactive repairs, for example — and have it running in weeks rather than months.
