Work order lifecycle

A property management work order system that runs each job from request to sign-off

  1. 1

    Report the fault

    A tenant reports a leak through the portal or WhatsApp, with photos and a time to visit.

  2. 2

    Set the trade and priority

    The property manager sets the trade and priority, and an emergency leak goes ahead of a squeaky door.

  3. 3

    Assign the contractor

    The work order goes to the term contractor for that trade, or out for quotations first.

  4. 4

    Attend and record

    The technician checks in on site, records the work and adds before and after photos.

  5. 5

    Sign off and close

    The tenant or property manager signs off, and the cost is charged to the building or recharged.

Tenant requests

Tenant maintenance requests in a property management ticketing system

Tenants report faults through the tenant portal, WhatsApp or email. Each request becomes a ticket against the right unit and lease, with its photos, and the tenant gets a reference number and updates without calling your office.

  • Request forms that ask for the location, the type of fault and photos
  • Emergencies such as a burst pipe sent straight to the duty officer
  • Repeat reports of one common-area fault merged into a single ticket
  • Tenants see the status of their request and when the contractor is due

Contractors

Work order management software for contractors and term contracts

Work orders with scope, priority and response times

Each work order carries the unit, fault, access arrangements and a response target by priority, and overdue jobs are flagged before the tenant calls again.

Contractors assigned by trade and building

Plumbing, electrical, aircon and cleaning jobs go to the term contractor for that building, with rates and end dates held in our contract management software.

Quotations and approval limits

Jobs above a set amount collect quotations through our procurement software, and anything over the property manager's limit goes to the landlord or MCST for approval.

Contractor access on a phone

Contractors open each job from a secure link, check in on site, record parts and labour, and upload photos and service reports.

Inspections

Property management inspection software for handovers and routine checks

Move-in and move-out inspections are recorded room by room on a tablet, with a photo and condition rating per item. At move-out the two reports sit side by side, and a move-in and move-out inspection checklist keeps every inspector to the same standard.

  • Templates per property type, from a studio to a warehouse unit
  • Routine and common-area checks, such as fire exits and roof drains, on a schedule
  • Defects raised as work orders on the spot, or logged for the developer during the defects liability period
  • Signed reports sent to the tenant as a PDF

Preventive maintenance

Preventive maintenance scheduling for building plant and equipment

Checklist board with a clock beside it, standing for servicing schedules

Servicing schedules per asset

Each asset carries its own interval, say aircon servicing every quarter, and its work order is raised a set number of days ahead.

Clipboard checklist with ticked items and one item crossed out

Checklists for every servicing visit

Each visit follows the checklist for that equipment, and an item marked faulty raises a follow-up work order instead of sitting in a report.

Servicing and repair history

Every job on a pump, lift or chiller adds to its record in the asset register and servicing history →, showing when repairs start to cost more than replacement.

Completion and costs

Completion sign-off, maintenance costs and tenant recharges

A job the contractor calls done is not finished until someone who has seen the result agrees.

Sign-off closes the work order, and the cost goes where the lease puts it, so settle how repair costs are recharged to commercial tenants early.

Closing a job

What happens when a work order is completed

Sign-off
The tenant confirms on their phone, or the property manager signs off after checking the photos.
Reopened jobs
Rejected work reopens the same work order, so repeat visits stay on one record.
Building budgets
Contractor invoices are matched to the work order and charged to the building's budget.
Tenant recharges
Tenant damage is recharged through rent and service charge billing, photos attached.
Response times
Time to attend and to close, by building, trade and contractor.

Capability

AI features for property maintenance management software

Built on your own maintenance records, with staff checking anything sent out.

WhatsApp and email request agent

The agent turns a tenant's WhatsApp or email message into a ticket, asking for photos and the unit, and replies with its reference.

Quotations and service reports read for you

AI reads contractor quotations and service reports into the work order, with amounts, parts and findings for staff to confirm.

Drafted work orders and tenant updates

AI drafts the trade, priority and scope from a tenant's description, and the update the tenant receives at closing.

Questions about your own maintenance records

Ask which building had the most aircon complaints this quarter, and see the jobs behind the answer.

Repeat faults and unusual costs flagged

AI flags a unit reporting the same leak again and again, or invoices well above others for similar jobs.

Maintenance cost forecasts

AI projects each building's maintenance spend for next year from its servicing schedules and past repairs.

How it fits

Where maintenance sits in your property management software

Maintenance is one module of our property management software, so each ticket already knows the unit, lease and tenant.

A function room closed for repairs stays blocked in our booking management software until its work order is signed off.

Shared records

What draws on property maintenance data

  • Units and leases, showing who pays and whom to contact
  • Rent and service charge billing, for tenant recharges
  • The asset register, holding each asset's servicing history
  • Your accounts, receiving contractor invoices by building

Weighing it up

Questions

Property maintenance management software FAQs

It turns tenant requests into work orders, sends them to the right contractor, schedules preventive servicing and records inspections. Each job closes only after sign-off, with its photos, cost and history kept against the unit.

Tenants report faults through the tenant portal in their browser, by WhatsApp or by email, so there is no app to install. Each request becomes a ticket with photos, a reference number and status updates.

Contractors can receive each work order through a secure link on their phone. They check in on site, record parts and labour, add photos and service reports, and mark the job done for your sign-off.

Preventive maintenance runs from a schedule per asset, say aircon servicing every quarter, and each visit is raised as a work order ahead of its due date. Missed visits are flagged, and every visit adds to the asset's history.

Inspections are recorded room by room on a tablet, with a photo and condition rating for each item. At move-out the report sits beside the move-in record, and any damage can be raised as a work order or recharge.

When the property manager marks a job as tenant damage, its cost is recharged through rent and service charge billing, with the work order and photos attached. Other jobs are charged to the building's maintenance budget.

It is a module of our Property Management Software, sharing the units, leases, tenant portal, billing and asset register. It can go into the first release or follow the core leasing and billing modules, with AI features added later.

The AI features work with your own maintenance records: a WhatsApp and email request agent, quotation and service report reading, drafted work orders, plain English questions, repeat fault checks and cost forecasts. Staff check what goes out.

It supports your PDPA obligations through role-based access: contractors see only their own jobs, with tenant contact details limited to what the visit needs. Photos taken inside units are restricted to named staff, and every change is logged.

The cost depends on scope: buildings, request channels, contractor access, inspection templates, preventive schedules, integrations and AI, quoted against an agreed specification. Our solutions are eligible for government grants, which we cover during scoping.
