Meet Anna: Your 24/7 AI Maintenance Coordinator

Maintenance is the most frequent tenant touchpoint. Missed calls, slow responses, and poor follow-up destroy trust. After-hours emergencies go unhandled. Boards and owners lack visibility. Anna solves this. She answers every tenant call — day or night, in any language. She logs requests, triages by urgency, coordinates vendors, keeps tenants updated, and gives you complete visibility. 24/7 coverage. Multi-channel intake. Emergency escalation. Vendor coordination. Tenant updates. All handled by property maintenance software that actually works.

What Anna Does

Anna is Lodg.AI's 24/7 AI Maintenance Coordinator. She handles tenant calls around the clock, logs requests from every channel, triages by urgency, coordinates vendors, escalates emergencies, and keeps tenants informed. No more missed calls. No after-hours voicemail. No tenant frustration. Just reliable maintenance coordination that builds trust.

Answers Tenant Calls 24/7

Day, night, weekends, holidays — Anna is always available. Tenants call your maintenance line and speak with Anna naturally. She understands context, asks clarifying questions, and collects all necessary details.

  • Natural, conversational responses — no phone tree or scripted menu
  • Tenants get immediate acknowledgment, not voicemail
  • No more "we'll call you back Monday" for Friday night emergencies
  • Responds in any language — critical for diverse tenant populations

Captures Requests from Every Channel

Phone, SMS, email, tenant portal — Anna captures requests from all channels and logs them in one centralized system. No more hunting through scattered texts, emails, and voicemails.

  • All requests flow into one system — nothing gets lost
  • Every request logged with timestamp, tenant info, and issue details
  • Tenants choose their preferred communication method
  • Nothing falls through the cracks

Triages by Urgency

Anna categorizes requests by urgency: Emergency, High Priority, Routine. Your team sees a prioritized queue, not chaos.

  • Emergency: Water leak, gas smell, no heat, lockout → immediate escalation
  • High Priority: HVAC issues, appliance failures → same-day attention
  • Routine: Light bulbs, minor repairs → scheduled appropriately
  • Clear prioritization means the right things get handled first

Escalates Real Emergencies

True emergencies can't wait. Anna identifies emergencies based on keywords and context, then immediately notifies your on-call staff or dispatches emergency vendors.

  • Detects water leaks, flooding, gas smells, no heat in winter, no AC in extreme heat, lockouts, fire, security issues
  • Immediately contacts your on-call team or emergency vendors
  • Keeps tenant informed: "I've notified the emergency team. Someone will call you within 15 minutes."
  • Documents everything for liability protection

Coordinates Vendors

Anna dispatches work orders to your preferred vendors, tracks assignment and scheduling, follows up with unresponsive vendors, and collects completion confirmation.

  • Sends work orders with unit access info, issue details, and tenant contact
  • Tracks whether vendors acknowledge — follows up if they don't respond
  • Collects completion confirmation and photos when work is done
  • Logs vendor costs for each job — clear view of who's assigned to what

Keeps Tenants Informed

Tenants hate radio silence after reporting an issue. Anna sends automatic updates at every stage so tenants always know what's happening.

  • "Your request has been assigned to ABC Plumbing. They'll contact you within 24 hours."
  • "A technician is scheduled for Tuesday between 10am-12pm."
  • "Has your issue been resolved? Reply YES or NO."
  • Informed tenants are patient tenants — communication dramatically reduces "where's my repair?" calls

Syncs to Your Systems

All activity syncs to your property management system. Work orders, notes, vendor assignments, costs — all logged automatically. No duplicate data entry.

  • Works with major PMS platforms
  • Email sync option if you don't have a PMS
  • Real-time dashboard: open requests, response times, completion rates
  • HOA boards and property owners get visibility without micromanaging

How Anna Works — The Maintenance Workflow

Anna handles the complete maintenance workflow from tenant report to completion. Here's how it works step by step.

1

Tenant Reports an Issue

Tenant calls, texts, emails, or submits through portal. Anna answers immediately — even at 2am. She collects: unit number, issue description, urgency indicators, and contact preferences. Tenant receives confirmation that the request was received.

2

Request Logged & Categorized

Anna logs the request with all details, categorizes by urgency (Emergency, High Priority, Routine), tags by issue type (Plumbing, HVAC, Electrical, Appliance), and the request appears in your dashboard immediately. Your team sees exactly what needs attention.

3

Triage & Escalation

Anna routes requests based on urgency:

  • Emergencies: Anna notifies on-call staff or dispatches emergency vendor
  • High Priority: Flagged for same-day attention
  • Routine: Queued for scheduling

Tenant receives confirmation: "We've received your request. Here's what happens next."

4

Vendor Dispatch

Anna assigns to appropriate vendor from your preferred list, sends work order with unit access info, issue details, and tenant contact, tracks vendor response, and follows up if no acknowledgment. No work orders get lost. Every assignment is tracked from dispatch to completion.

5

Scheduling & Updates

Vendor confirms appointment time. Anna notifies tenant: "A technician will arrive Tuesday between 10am-12pm." Sends reminder before appointment. Tenant knows exactly what to expect — no more sitting home all day wondering if anyone's coming.

6

Completion & Close-Out

Vendor marks work complete (or Anna follows up to confirm). Anna asks tenant: "Has your issue been resolved?" If yes: Request closed, logged for records. If no: Reopened and escalated for follow-up. Full history preserved for future reference. Nothing slips through.

Why Maintenance Is Where Trust Is Won or Lost

Every maintenance request is an opportunity to build or break trust. Responsive maintenance leads to renewals, referrals, and positive reviews. Poor maintenance leads to turnover, bad reviews, and reputation damage.

The Most Frequent Touchpoint

Leasing happens once. Screening happens once. But maintenance happens constantly. Every request is a moment of truth. How you handle a clogged sink or broken AC determines whether tenants renew, refer friends, or leave bad reviews. Maintenance defines your reputation more than any other operation.

After-Hours Emergencies Define You

Emergencies don't happen 9-to-5. How you handle a Friday night water leak or a Saturday morning lockout determines tenant loyalty. Without 24/7 coverage, tenants feel abandoned and problems escalate. Anna ensures no emergency goes unhandled — day or night, weekends or holidays.

Radio Silence Destroys Trust

Tenants report an issue and hear nothing for days. They don't know if you got the message, if anyone is coming, when it will be fixed. This radio silence breeds frustration and distrust. Anna closes the communication gap with automatic updates. Informed tenants are patient tenants.

Boards and Owners Need Visibility

HOA boards and property owners want to know what's happening. Without visibility, they micromanage or lose confidence. "How many requests are open?" "Why did maintenance cost so much last month?" "Is Unit 304 a problem property?" Anna's reporting gives them real-time transparency. Trust replaces anxiety.

Common Maintenance Breakdowns (What Anna Solves)

These operational gaps turn routine maintenance into tenant dissatisfaction and board complaints. Anna eliminates them.

Missed Calls and Messages

Texts, emails, voicemails scattered across devices. Staff overwhelmed, requests fall through cracks. Tenants feel ignored when nothing happens. Anna captures everything in one place — nothing missed.

No After-Hours Coverage

Emergencies happen at night and on weekends. Without coverage, issues escalate and tenants panic. Good tenants leave bad reviews: "My pipe burst at midnight and nobody answered the emergency line." Anna handles after-hours calls and escalates appropriately.

Slow Response Times

Days pass before tenants hear back. Good tenants get frustrated, leave bad reviews. "I reported my AC not working three days ago and still haven't heard anything." Anna responds instantly and keeps tenants updated throughout.

Vendor Chaos

Manual dispatching, no tracking, no accountability. "Who's assigned to Unit 405?" becomes a guessing game. Vendors don't respond and nobody follows up. Anna tracks every assignment from dispatch to completion.

Invisible Costs

Maintenance costs creep up with no clear tracking. Boards ask "where's the money going?" and you can't answer. No way to identify problem units or underperforming vendors. Anna logs costs per job, per vendor, per property.
