Maintenance & Work Orders

From resident ticket submission to contractor coordination, track every maintenance request from creation to resolution. SLA monitoring, vendor management, asset tracking, and cost analytics.

Managing maintenance operations for 10,000+ beds across 15 countries

Maintenance Requests Disappear Into Black Holes

Residents report issues via WhatsApp. Staff forget. Contractors are called and nobody tracks the outcome. The same pipe leaks three times before it is actually fixed.

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.

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

"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."

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.
