The result
The follow-up runs. Your team stays human.
AuraForms watches, decides, sends, and remembers—so the business can respond consistently without adding another manual process.
Resident maintenance requests, urgency routing, access coordination, and emergency escalation
A single maintenance form treats a leak the same as an emergency.
Routine repairs, urgent access issues, and genuine emergencies all deserve a different response, but most maintenance forms funnel every request into one undifferentiated queue.
Manually triaging incoming requests by severity
Coordinating access windows back and forth
Escalating emergencies by phone as they come in
Following up to confirm resolution
Estimated 10-20 minutes of manual triage and access coordination replaced per request.
Requests are currently triaged manually by phone, text, or email. Access windows are currently coordinated manually. Actual savings depend on request volume and severity mix.
Illustrative estimate based on the manual steps this system can replace. Actual time saved depends on inquiry volume, configuration, and the property manager’s current process.
Customer journey
A polished experience for the customer, useful context for your team.
Safety-first framing
The resident sees clear guidance not to submit the form if anyone is in immediate danger.
Issue details
The resident describes the issue, category, timing, and whether it affects water, power, heat, security, or safe use.
Access preferences
The resident shares permission to enter, pets or access considerations, and preferred windows.
Routed response
The resident receives emergency guidance, urgent confirmation, or a real access-window booking depending on severity.
Immediately after submission
