Landlord misses emergency maintenance alerts because tenants text instead of calling, leading to delayed response.

Standard cellphone settings can allow repeated calls through do not disturb, but tenants often text for emergencies and the landlord may not see until morning; there's no purpose-built tool to ensure emergency maintenance requests are escalated immediately.

Auto-call landlord's phone repeat every 2 minutes until acknowledged
Tenant app with one-tap emergency button that bypasses DND
Maintenance request triage: auto-route emergencies to on-call staff, non-urgent to normal queue

Target Users: Small to mid-size property owners and managers (single-family to 100-unit buildings) in residential property management

Revenue Model: $19/mo per property, with $49/mo pro tier including on-call routing and team features
