Maintenance requests come from everywhere and get lost just as easily. How to log, assign and close them properly.

Short answer: Log every maintenance request as a task with a photo, location and priority, assign it to one technician, and close it with proof the fix is done. Requesters see progress without calling.

One way in

All requests go into one place, whether they come by phone, email or in person. No more sticky notes.

Capture the details

  • What’s wrong, with a photo.

  • Where exactly.

  • How urgent.

  • Who reported it.

Close the loop

When it’s fixed, the technician adds a photo and the requester confirms. Recurring problems become visible.
