CHALLENGE

Maintenance Requests Disappear Into Black Holes

Lost Requests

Tickets reported verbally, via WhatsApp, or email. No centralized system, no tracking, no accountability.

Slow Resolution

Average time to fix an issue is days or weeks because there is no priority system or SLA tracking.

Cost Blindness

No visibility into maintenance spend by property, category, or vendor. Budget overruns discovered too late.

Reactive Only

Everything breaks before it is addressed. No preventive maintenance schedules for boilers, HVAC, or fire systems.

Vendor Chaos

Contractors managed via phone calls. No work orders, no estimate tracking, no proof of completion.

No Resident Updates

Residents submit a request and hear nothing until it is either fixed or they complain again.

Multi-Channel Ticket Submission

Residents submit tickets from the app with photos. Staff create tickets from inspections. QR codes on equipment enable instant issue reporting. Every ticket tracked from creation.

  • Resident ticket submission from tenant app with photo upload and category selection

  • QR code scanning on equipment and in rooms for instant, pre-filled issue reporting

  • Staff-created tickets from inspections, walkthroughs, and phone calls

  • Email-to-ticket conversion for issues reported via email

  • Automatic categorization suggestions based on description and location

  • Priority assignment: emergency, urgent, standard, and low with SLA per level

Multi-Channel Ticket Submission

SLA Tracking & Escalation

Define response and resolution SLAs per priority level. Automatic alerts when SLAs are approaching, breached, or at risk. Escalation chains ensure nothing slips through.

  • Configurable SLAs per priority: emergency (2hr), urgent (24hr), standard (72hr)

  • Response SLA (time to first action) and resolution SLA (time to close) tracking

  • Automatic alerts at 50%, 75%, and 100% of SLA threshold

  • Escalation chains: staff > manager > director with configurable timeouts

  • SLA compliance dashboard showing on-time rates by property, category, and team

  • Breach reporting with root cause tracking for continuous improvement

SLA Tracking & Escalation

Vendor & Contractor Coordination

Invite external contractors into specific tickets. They receive work orders, submit estimates, upload completion photos, and invoice -- all without needing a full system account.

  • Vendor portal: contractors access assigned tickets via mobile web app (no login needed)

  • Work order generation with scope, location, access instructions, and photos

  • Estimate submission and approval workflow before work begins

  • Completion photo upload and sign-off by contractor and property manager

  • Invoice submission linked to specific work orders with automatic cost tracking

  • Vendor performance scorecards: response time, quality, cost, and SLA compliance

Vendor & Contractor Coordination

Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM)

Schedule recurring maintenance before things break. Asset registration, service schedules, compliance-driven maintenance, and automated work order creation.

  • Asset registration: HVAC, boilers, lifts, fire systems, electrical, plumbing per property

  • PPM schedules with configurable intervals: monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual

  • Automatic work order creation when PPM is due with contractor assignment

  • Compliance-driven PPM: gas safety servicing, EICR testing, fire alarm checks

  • Service history tracking per asset with cost accumulation and replacement forecasting

  • PPM calendar view showing upcoming and overdue maintenance across portfolio

Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM)

Resident Communication & Transparency

Keep residents informed automatically. Status updates at every stage, estimated completion times, and satisfaction surveys after resolution.

  • Automated status notifications: received, assigned, in progress, completed

  • Estimated completion time visible to residents in their app

  • Resident-facing comments and photo updates showing progress

  • Satisfaction survey triggered on ticket closure with rating and feedback

  • Reopening workflow if resident is not satisfied with resolution

  • Communication audit trail: every message between resident, staff, and vendor

Resident Communication & Transparency

Maintenance Analytics & Cost Tracking

Track spend, SLA performance, vendor costs, and issue patterns across your portfolio. Identify recurring problems, budget accurately, and benchmark properties.

  • Cost tracking per ticket, vendor, property, category, and time period

  • Budget vs. actual maintenance spend with variance alerts

  • Recurring issue detection: flag repeat problems at same location or same equipment

  • Category analysis: plumbing vs. electrical vs. HVAC vs. common area breakdown

  • Property benchmarking: maintenance cost per bed, tickets per bed, resolution time

  • Monthly maintenance reports for stakeholders with trend analysis

CLIENT WORDS

26 battle-tested modules covering the full resident lifecycle, from first application to move-out and beyond.

Before JumboTiger, we had a spreadsheet with 200+ open tickets and no idea which ones were urgent. Now every ticket has an SLA, vendors submit estimates through the system, and our average resolution time dropped from 11 days to 3.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Place QR codes on equipment, in rooms, or in common areas. Residents scan the code, which pre-fills the location and category. They add a description and photos, and the ticket is created instantly.

Yes. Contractors receive a link to a mobile web app for their assigned tickets. They can view work orders, submit estimates, upload completion photos, and invoice -- all without a full user account.

Register assets (boilers, HVAC, lifts, etc.) with service intervals. The system auto-creates work orders when service is due, assigns contractors, and tracks completion. Compliance-driven PPM ties into certificate renewal schedules.

Fully configurable. Set response and resolution SLAs per priority level (e.g., emergency: 2hr response / 4hr resolution). Alerts fire at configurable thresholds and escalate through chains you define.

Yes. Residents see real-time status updates in their app: received, assigned, in progress, estimated completion, and completed. They get push notifications at each stage.

Every ticket tracks labor and material costs from vendor invoices. Dashboards show spend by property, category, vendor, and period with budget vs. actual comparisons and per-bed cost benchmarking.
