Maintenance Request Triage
Tenants submit maintenance requests via WhatsApp — describing the issue, uploading photos, and confirming preferred access times. Nowdesk categorises by urgency and routes to the appropriate contractor automatically, without property manager involvement for routine requests.
Automated Landlord Reporting
Monthly financial reports, maintenance summaries, and tenancy status updates delivered to landlords via WhatsApp on a fixed schedule — keeping landlords informed without property managers preparing and sending reports manually each month.
Rent Collection Follow-Up
Automated rent reminders sent three days before due date and escalating follow-up sequences triggered on late payment — reducing arrears and the awkward manual calls property managers would otherwise need to make to tenants each month.
Lease Renewal Campaigns
Renewal conversations initiated automatically 90 days before tenancy expiry — capturing renewal intent early, giving landlords advance notice of vacancy risk, and reducing the gap between tenancies that generates nil-income periods.
Inspection Scheduling
Routine property inspections scheduled and confirmed via WhatsApp — with tenant access confirmation, inspection report delivery, and landlord notification handled automatically without property manager coordination calls for each inspection.
Instant Landlord Enquiry Response
Landlords enquiring about adding new properties to your portfolio receive an immediate, professional response at any hour — demonstrating the responsive communication that convinces them to sign a management contract with your firm.
Onboarding Sequences
New tenants receive structured onboarding via WhatsApp — covering move-in procedures, maintenance reporting, rent payment methods, and emergency contacts — reducing the first-month questions that flood property manager inboxes with each new tenancy.
Multilingual Tenant Support
Communicate with tenants in English, Mandarin, Bahasa, Tamil, and more — removing language barriers that delay maintenance request resolution and generate misunderstandings that escalate into landlord complaints.
Landlord Satisfaction Surveys
Periodic satisfaction surveys delivered to landlords via WhatsApp capture feedback before it becomes a cancellation notice — giving your team the opportunity to address concerns and demonstrate responsiveness that retains the management contract.
Results That Speak for Themselves
"Our property managers were drowning in maintenance requests — most of which were routine issues that didn't need their involvement at all. Nowdesk now triages every request, routes it to the right contractor, and updates the tenant on progress automatically. 68% of requests never touch a manager's inbox."
"Landlord complaints almost always came down to feeling uninformed — they'd hear about a maintenance issue from the tenant rather than from us. Nowdesk's automated landlord update sequences mean owners hear from us first on every issue. Our complaint rate dropped 45% in the first six months."
"Late rent was causing friction between us, landlords, and tenants. Our team hated making collection calls. Nowdesk sends automated reminders three days before due date and escalating follow-up if payment doesn't arrive. We hit 95% on-time collection without a single manual chasing call."

Common Questions
Nowdesk uses AI to categorise maintenance requests by type and urgency based on the tenant's description and any photos submitted. Routine categories — plumbing, electrical faults, appliance issues — are routed directly to pre-assigned contractors with the tenant's details and access instructions. Urgent or ambiguous requests are escalated to a property manager immediately. The routing rules are configured by your team and can be updated at any time.
Nowdesk integrates with leading property management platforms via API — syncing tenancy data, maintenance logs, and financial records. When a maintenance request is resolved or a rent payment is received, Nowdesk can update the corresponding record in your management system automatically, keeping your data consistent without manual entry.
Monthly landlord reports are configured once and delivered automatically via WhatsApp on a schedule you define. Reports are populated from your management system data and can include rent collection status, maintenance activity summaries, inspection dates, and tenancy expiry alerts. Landlords receive a formatted summary message with a link to the full report — no manual preparation required from your team.
The default sequence sends a friendly reminder 3 days before rent due date, a due-date confirmation message, a 1-day-overdue follow-up, and a 5-day-overdue escalation that notifies the property manager and the tenant simultaneously. Each message is fully customisable in tone and timing. The sequence stops automatically when payment is confirmed — preventing reminders from being sent after rent has already been paid.
Yes. Nowdesk supports tenant communication in English, Mandarin, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Malaysia, Thai, Tamil, Vietnamese, and more. Tenants interact in their preferred language while property managers see all communications in their chosen language — eliminating the language barrier that delays routine maintenance resolution and causes unnecessary escalations.
When landlords enquire about management services via WhatsApp, website, or referral, Nowdesk immediately delivers a professional response with service scope information and management fee structures — even outside business hours. This instant, organised response demonstrates exactly the communication standard landlords are evaluating when choosing a management company, significantly increasing the conversion rate from enquiry to signed contract.
