Here\u2019s what to do"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Multifamily maintenance requests don&#8217;t follow business hours. After-hours maintenance calls happen in the evening, on weekends and in the middle of the night. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every maintenance request that doesn&#8217;t make it into the system is a job that doesn&#8217;t get assigned, a resident who doesn&#8217;t get a response and potentially a charge that never gets collected. At scale those gaps add up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/go.yardi.com\/multifamily-ai?utm_source=mf-virtuoso-enterprise-blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=MF%20Virtuoso%20Enterprise%20Campaign\">Virtuoso Enterprise<\/a>\u00a0closes them automatically so your team starts every morning with a complete picture of what came in overnight, already logged and already prioritized. Here&#8217;s what that means for your operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-after-hours-maintenance-requests-don-t-wait-until-morning\">After-hours maintenance requests don&#8217;t wait until morning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When a resident calls about a maintenance issue at 9 p.m., the work order is put into the system before your team starts the next day. There&#8217;s no waiting for someone to check the voicemail, no risk of the request being lost and no delay in getting the job assigned to a technician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For emergencies, the AI flags the issue and reaches out to the right person on your team immediately, even outside of business hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cuts-out-manual-steps-from-call-to-work-order-creation\">Cuts out manual steps, from call to work order creation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Turning a maintenance call into a work order typically means someone must listen to the message, interpret the issue, log in to the system and then enter the details manually. With Virtuoso Enterprise, that entire process is automated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a resident calls in, the AI picks up the call, listens to what the resident describes and creates the work order directly in the system, as shown in this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/resources\/the-fastest-path-from-resident-to-tech-infographic\/\">work order infographic<\/a>. No one on your team has to listen to the voicemail, decide what category it fits into or type anything into the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-automatic-categorization-amp-prioritization\">Automatic categorization &amp; prioritization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every maintenance request that makes its way through the triage is categorized and prioritized using the same set of rules set up for other work orders in the platform. The AI applies your issue definitions, priority thresholds and emergency rules consistently, regardless of what time the call comes in or who\u2019s on shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A resident who texts about a leak gets the same outcome as a resident who calls about the same issue. The logic is the same across every channel because it comes from the same configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ai-suggestions-for-quick-resident-fixes\">AI suggestions for quick resident fixes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before creating a work order, the AI can offer residents self-service suggestions for common issues. If a resident calls about a tripped breaker, a clogged drain or a thermostat that isn&#8217;t responding, the AI can walk them through simple troubleshooting steps that may resolve the issue without a visit from a technician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the issue does need attention, the work order is created automatically in the system. Your team picks it up from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-products-behind-the-chain\">The products behind the chain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When a resident calls after hours<a>, <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/product\/chat-iq\/\">Chat IQ<\/a> picks up, captures the issue and hands it to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/product\/maintenance-iq\/\">Maintenance IQ<\/a>\u00a0which creates the work order, \u00a0automatically categorizes it by type and urgency and routes it to the right person based on the rules your team already set up. Because both run inside Virtuoso Enterprise alongside Voyager and the resident record, that 9 p.m. call becomes a work order in the same system your leasing and accounting teams work from every day. There&#8217;s no separate system. There&#8217;s no manual step. The chain runs on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-learn-more\">Learn more<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This capability is now available in Virtuoso Enterprise.
