MAX™ On-Call • Maintenance Intelligence
The outcome of every work order is decided at
MAX On-Call structures the first 60 seconds of every work order: how the issue gets described, diagnosed, and routed. That moment determines the cost, the speed, and the resident experience that follows. Every time.

Sound Familiar?
If any of these feel true, intake is the problem.
These aren’t maintenance vendor failures or market conditions. They’re the downstream cost of what didn’t get captured at the first moment of every work order. MAX On-Call is built to fix exactly this.
Work orders go out missing the details that matter
Unit location. Symptom specifics. Access instructions. Your coordinators chase them after the fact. Or the maintenance vendor sends a technician out anyway, who figures it out on arrival. The invoice reflects that.
The technician had to come back
Wrong technician dispatched. Missing parts. The resident waited again. Every return trip traces back to a diagnosis that wasn’t made at intake. A cost that didn’t have to be there.
Your coordinators are doing intake residents should do
When residents don’t submit their own requests, your team picks up the work: phone calls, texts, verbal reports. Every manual entry is inconsistent, incomplete, and time your coordinators don’t have.

What MAX On-Call does differently
A description is not a diagnosis.
These aren’t maintenance vendor failures or market conditions. They’re the downstream cost of what didn’t get captured at the first moment of every work order. MAX On-Call is built to fix exactly this.
01 • INTAKE
Resident submits or calls in
MAX On-Call handles the intake any hour, in 14+ languages. Your team doesn’t take the call. They receive the work order, complete.
02 • DIAGNOSE
Structured diagnosis, not a description
Symptom → elimination → component → location. The issue is identified before a maintenance vendor or technician is called. Not guessed at. Not discovered on the first visit.
03 • ROUTE & DOCUMENT
Six outputs at the moment of intake
Cost projection. Intelligent routing to the right vendor and technician. Full transcription. Resident status update. Documentation. Engagement confirmation. All delivered simultaneously. Before your team sees the work order.
04 • OUTCOME
Lower cost. Faster resolution. Better data.
$74 lower invoice cost per work order. 21% faster resolution. A resident experience that starts right. An audit trail your investors can read.

Five ways intake shapes your portfolio
Why intake is the decision that shapes everything else.
01
The Problem
Every downstream metric is decided at the first moment of every work order: cost, speed, resident experience, investor data. Most teams have never looked closely at what that moment actually captures.
With MAX
Intake to outcome to investor confidence. Every work order generates structured data from the first moment: cost projections, resolution speed, vendor and technician routing decisions, resident scores. The portfolio story your investors want to read.
02
The Problem
Your current intake process collects what the resident describes. So does a basic call center. So does most AI-powered maintenance software. A description tells you what the resident noticed. It doesn’t tell you what’s actually wrong. The vendor and technician go out to find out. The invoice reflects that.
With MAX
MAX collects a diagnosis: symptom, process of elimination, component, location in the unit. The right maintenance technician gets dispatched with the right parts. 4.4% fewer trips per work order. Not because the vendors changed. Because the information did.
03
The Problem
When your on-call process depends on whoever picks up the phone, the outcome of every work order depends on them too. Different coordinator. Different questions asked. Different information captured. Different vendor dispatched. The variance in your cost and resident experience data isn’t random. It’s your SOP.
With MAX
The process is in the platform, not the person. Every call, 2am or 2pm, runs through the same structured diagnostic flow. Consistent outcomes. Full documentation. The same work order handled the same way, every time, regardless of who’s on call.
04
The Problem
Adding AI features to a manual intake process isn’t the same as building intelligence into the intake itself. AI as a tool still requires a human to guess. The outcomes are different.
With MAX
AI-first means the intelligence is the process. Not a layer on top of it. Diagnosis, routing, cost projection, and documentation all happen at the moment of intake. No human required to fill the gaps.
05
The Problem
The cost of unstructured intake isn’t one bad call. It’s $74 per work order, quietly compounding across every issue your portfolio generates. At 300 work orders a month, every month, the math adds up fast.
With MAX
300 work orders × $74 = $22,200 less in invoice costs. Every month. Not from fixing one thing. From better information at the first moment of every single work order.
