Property ManagementClient Communication & Experience3MediumProperty Manager$ implied

Property managers struggle with vague maintenance requests from tenants, leading to delays and failed vendor visits due to missing details like model numbers or photos.

Existing communication channels like text messages allow tenants to send vague requests without structure, and there is no automated system to prompt for necessary details or provide a guided submission process.

App Concept

FixSnap: Guided Maintenance Requests

FixSnap is a mobile app that lets tenants submit maintenance requests via a structured, step-by-step form. It prompts for photos, model numbers, and severity, and automatically notifies the property manager and vendor with all necessary details, reducing back-and-forth and failed visits.

Key Features
  • Guided request form with mandatory fields for photos, model numbers, and issue description
  • Auto-notify property manager and preferred vendor with full details
  • Tenant request history and status tracking
  • Integration with property management software (e.g., AppFolio, Buildium)
Target Users: Property managers in small to medium-sized residential property management firms (50-500 units) who handle maintenance coordination via phone and text.
Revenue Model: Freemium with $49/mo pro tier for 100 units, $99/mo for unlimited units
