January 7, 2025

Managing property maintenance efficiently is no small feat, especially when juggling multiple vendors, unexpected repairs, and tight budgets. For residential property managers, having the ability to respond to problems swiftly without sacrificing quality is key to retaining residents and growing a portfolio.

That’s why Lessen’s cutting-edge dispatch logic and vendor management capabilities in the One by Lessen platform are so important. Together, they are designed to bring unparalleled efficiency, faster response times, and greater control over the vendor management process.

What Is DispatchLogic?

Lessen’s dispatch logic is AI-powered cloud-based technology that simplifies single family residential repairs and maintenance by using smart algorithms to route maintenance requests to the most qualified and available vendors.

By analyzing factors like location, specialization, availability, and historical performance, dispatch logic ensures the right professional from Lessen’s network of 30,000 qualified vendors is assigned to the right job, minimizing delays and errors. Not only does this save valuable time, but it ensures faster service and a reduction in repeated trips to complete a single work order.

The result:Happier residents, which increases brand loyalty.

How It Works

The algorithms driving Lessen’s dispatch logic help narrow the focus of your everyday life. Not only are work orders matched with the specialists they require, but the specialists must livenearby and are free to move immediately to complete the job.

What does it take to deliver service that precise? When put into action, dispatch logic considers elements such as:

Location: Lessen’s extensive vendor network allows dispatch logic to assign tasks only to those who are closest to the job, which means a reduction in travel time and a pathway to faster results.

Skillset: No more scrambling for the right technician. Lessen’s vendors are specialists in more than 55 trades, which gives dispatch logic ample opportunity to find the right specialists for the job that requires their expertise.

Availability: Not only does Lessen’s dispatch logic know which vendor is right for the job, but they know if they are free or not to take on extra work. This slashes precious time, which is especially beneficial in an emergency situation.

Time Constraints: Lessen’s dispatch logic can prioritize urgent tasks and tight deadlines from projects that  require a broader approach.

Why It Matters

Managing vendors on your own can lead to missed deadlines, incomplete documentation, and unexpected costs. There’s also an extra time burden for managers that already have a stack of responsibilities to address each day.

Lessen’s dispatch logic is key to lifting the burden from residential property managers so they can have time back to grow their business. With a centralized platform for vendor coordination, Lessen can help you achieve:

Jobs Done Right the First Time: In fact, Lessen’s vendor network can increase your first-time fix rate up to 80% and work order productivity per day between 30-50%.

Greater CostSavings: Efficient routing avoids unnecessary service calls, reduces travel times, and ensures resources are allocated wisely. Work orders are completed in one visit opposed to several return trips because the right vendor is assigned to the right job.

Quality Assurance: By prioritizing certified vendors with proven track records, Lessen helps maintain high standards of work quality.

Strategic CapitalPlanning: Greater work order visibility and control means building a history of how every dollar is spent per asset, property, and more. Which is data you can use in your annual capital planning process to achieve greater cost savings.
