Our client is a leading real estate firm specializing in property management and maintenance services. The company oversees multiple properties and relies on a network of field agents to handle inspections, repairs, and tenant requests.
The client struggled with inefficient field service management, leading to delayed responses, miscommunication, and increased operational costs. They needed a solution that could streamline scheduling, provide real-time tracking, and enhance coordination between office staff and field agents.
