Overview

ACE can save your leasing team valuable time and reduce calls handled by your call center with its resident work order abilities. For the ACE chat and text channels, ACE gives residents a self-service experience by providing the property’s maintenance phone number and can provide a link to your online portal. If on a call, ACE can transfer the user to your maintenance line or offer to send a text with a link to your online portal. Learn more about ACE’s latest work order enhancements and abilities below:

ACE Work Order Enhancements

Capture and Process Work Orders on ACE Voice

ACE can now capture work order details from renters over the phone—with no integration needed! When a renter calls with a maintenance issue, ACE will capture the details and send an email to the property manager. ACE will then text the renter informing them that the work order has been submitted and someone will be in touch with them soon.

Example of the ACE email notification sent to the property manager:

Resident Identification
