For any property management company, good multifamily maintenance management can be the difference-maker in the success of any given multifamily property.
Promptly addressing maintenance issues, especially emergencies, can significantly raise tenant satisfaction and retention.
One of the best ways to achieve this is to keep on-call maintenance staff in the loop about missed calls. And for larger-scale maintenance issues and events, notifying residents en masse about maintenance activities can be highly effective.
HelloSpoke’s Notify and mass calling service can help multifamily property management companies in asset management. With HelloSpoke, property owners can ensure all of their investment properties have efficient maintenance strategies.
By implementing these services, maintenance staff can enhance communication and response times.
Notify: Keeping Maintenance Staff Informed
In multifamily rental properties, maintenance tasks can arise at any time, often outside regular working hours.
Having an efficient system to notify maintenance workers about missed calls is crucial. We designed Notify to better ensure that no maintenance request goes unnoticed, especially during emergencies.
With Notify, staff members on the on-call list receive a call. They can also sign up to receive a text message. Further, they can also receive an email copy about the missed calls. In that email is the content of the missed call’s message.
Notify starts with the first individual on the list. If no response is given from that individual, it will notify the next person. This cycle can repeat for 24 hours.
Read on for some of the benefits of using Notify.
Real-Time Notifications
Notify can provide real-time alerts to on-call maintenance staff about missed calls related to maintenance issues.
When a call is missed, the system quickly notifies via phone call the designated maintenance personnel. If the staff members sign up for the text or email alerts, they will receive notifications in those channels as well.
This immediate-alert system ensures that maintenance staff can quickly respond to urgent issues, minimizing downtime and preventing further damage.
Adding Urgency to an Emergency Response
Emergencies such as water leaks, electrical failures, or HVAC breakdowns require swift action.
Notify’s instant, consistent notification adds urgency to the emergency situation, increasing the likelihood that it will be handled promptly.
Streamlined Communication
Detailed information about the missed call comes in the form of a transcript of the missed call’s message.
This ensures that staff have as much information as possible to resolve the problem efficiently.
Mass Calling: Keeping Residents Informed
Apart from addressing maintenance issues, it is equally important to keep residents informed about scheduled maintenance work or emergencies that may affect their daily lives.
HelloSpoke offers mass calling that will facilitate efficient communication between property management staff and residents. We go over the benefits of mass calling below.
Notification of Maintenance Activities
Scheduled maintenance work for an entire property, such as repairs or upgrades, often requires shutting down essential services like water or elevators.
Mass calling enables property managers to inform all residents about these activities in advance.
By making a single call, property managers can broadcast a pre-recorded message to all residents. For a property management company, doing this can show that you’ve done your due diligence in giving residents fair warning about any upcoming maintenance work.
This proactive communication can help residents plan accordingly and reduce inconvenience.
Emergency Alerts
In case of maintenance emergencies, such as a gas leak, it is crucial to alert all residents immediately.
Mass calling provides a quick and effective way to tell residents about the emergency and the necessary actions they need to take.
This rapid dissemination of information can be lifesaving, ensuring the safety of residents during critical situations.
Improved Resident Relations
Letting residents know in a timely manner about maintenance activities and emergencies can foster a sense of transparency and trust.
When residents feel that they are kept in the loop, they are more likely to have a positive perception of the property management.
This dependable communication can lead to higher tenant satisfaction and retention rates.
Customizable Alerts and Messages
Mass calling offers customizable options to suit the specific needs of each property.
Property managers can set up different types of alerts for various maintenance issues and tailor the messages to provide clear and concise information.
This flexibility ensures that communication is always relevant and effective.
