Maintenance requests, from the first report to the work order

When a resident reports a problem in Buildium, Occupella builds the card, pulls the unit’s history and drafts the reply and the work order. You edit them, pick the vendor and send.

From report to drafted reply

1

The card appears within seconds

A resident reports a problem in Buildium. Occupella verifies the webhook and builds a readable card from the record: title, address and unit, who reported it and who it is assigned to.

2

It pulls the unit's history

The task, the unit, the active lease and its tenants, and ninety days of prior tickets at that address. Any number it shows is checked against the record first, like the third HVAC ticket in 90 days.

3

It drafts the next steps

A reply to the resident, a work order for the vendor, a note about the pattern. Each is written out with the reason it was suggested, and you can edit every word.

Changes it can make in Buildium

Occupella writes to your Buildium account too. For maintenance, these are the changes it can make.

Create a work order and assign a vendor
Reassign a work order to a different vendor
Change a task's status, priority or due date
Add a note to a task, a work order or a vendor
Close a work order (a manager or an admin)
Share a file with a tenant or an owner

A completed work order can’t be reopened. Buildium locks it, and no API can undo that, so Occupella doesn’t offer it.

Work that has stalled

The Today strip at the top of your Inbox counts open work orders with no update in 7 days, and groups overdue tasks by property so a messy week is one line per building.

Questions about a unit or a vendor

Ask on the card

“Has this unit done this before?” “Who did we use last time?” Typed into the card and answered there, with the property, unit and task already in context.

Tell it your vendors once

“We use Redbud for anything electrical.” It keeps that for your company and brings it back the next time an electrical request comes in.

Ask across the portfolio

“What is overdue?” lists open tasks (new, in progress and deferred) with priority, property, assignee and due date, overdue first.
