Maintenance

Maintenance management that turns tickets into work orders

Every maintenance request becomes a work order with photos, a vendor assignment, and a paper trail. Nothing lives in text messages anymore.

From resident report to closed work order

Residents submit a request from their portal or a link with photos and a description of urgency. Ayillo files it against the unit, notifies the property team, and holds a running comment thread with the resident, technician, and manager. When work closes, photos and costs land on the work-order record — searchable at the property, unit, and lease level for years.

Vendor coordination without the group text

  • Assign the ticket to an internal tech, an outside vendor, or an ecosystem repair partner.
  • Track quote, dispatch time, on-site time, parts, and total invoice on the work order itself.
  • Attach photos before and after — required for close on jobs above your dollar threshold.
  • Emergency routing routes urgent tickets (no heat, active leak, gas smell) to on-call phone numbers, not email.

Preventive maintenance and inspections

Schedule recurring HVAC service, filter changes, smoke-detector checks, gutter cleanings, and turnover inspections. Ayillo creates the work order when it's due and reminds the tech. Missed preventive tasks are the cheapest thing to fix in property management — the software should not let them slip.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Can residents attach photos and videos?

Yes. Residents can capture directly from the portal or upload from their phone. Files stay on the work-order record.

Do vendors need an Ayillo account?

No. Vendors receive a magic-link view of the work order to accept, comment, and upload photos. Full accounts are optional.

How do emergency requests work?

Emergencies escalate to a paged on-call contact and to the property manager simultaneously. The resident sees a real ETA, not a form receipt.
