Who Tenaivo is for
You already pay someone to run maintenance. Tenaivo frees them up.
Past 300 doors, most firms have a maintenance coordinator or maintenance manager. That person picks up resident calls, often at night and on weekends too, chases vendors for an ETA and answers “any update?” all day. Tenaivo takes that work off them, so their time goes to the jobs that need a person.
What comes off their plate
The calls
Every resident call and text is answered 24/7 and logged as a ticket. True emergencies are flagged, and with on-call paging on, your on-call person is called and texted. Everything else waits in a morning summary instead of a 2 a.m. phone call.
The vendor chasingCoordination
Vendors get the job by text link, accept it with an ETA and get chased when they go quiet. If they still do not respond, the best backup vendor is suggested, ready to send.
The resident updates
Every resident gets a tracker link. On Coordination, residents who opt in to texts also get an update at least every 48 hours, and an “Is it fixed?” check before the job closes.
What stays with them
- Deciding on bigger repairs and talking them through with owners
- The judgment calls a ticket cannot make
- Problems that need someone on site
- Your vendor relationships
The problem
The problems you deal with every day.
We studied software reviews and forum threads from property managers, owners, residents and maintenance techs. These problems came up again and again.
Calls go to voicemail.
A resident calls about a leak and gets a recording. They call again, then email, then stop your tech in the parking lot. Nobody logged the first call.
84% of property managers say they communicate well. Only 38% of residents agree.

Urgent requests wait until Monday.
The AC dies on a Friday night. The on-call phone is in someone's car. By Monday the resident has called three times.
84% of renters expect a maintenance response within 24 hours. 61% expect one the same day.

Nobody knows where the job stands.
The plumber said Tuesday. It's Friday. The resident, the owner and your office are asking the same question, and the answer is in someone's texts.
39% of renters say better maintenance follow-through would improve their experience most.

Closed isn't the same as fixed.
A work order is marked complete after a quick visit. The problem comes back. The resident files a new request and the history is lost.
Renters who are satisfied with maintenance are 81% more likely to renew.

Owners hear about it last.
An owner learns about a flood from the tenant, or from a statement weeks later. That is how management contracts end.
Of 300 owners interviewed, 207 fired a property manager over communication.

Spend with no proof.
A $1,200 charge shows up on the statement. No photos, no invoice, no approval. The owner starts to wonder what else they are not seeing.
84% of owners want to approve large repairs before the work is done.

The real worry is the night the one person who knows everything is unreachable.
A simple HVAC call can turn into a week of back-and-forth.
Owners expect their manager to prevent surprises, not just pass them along.
What Tenaivo does
LiveAI does the busywork. Your people keep the decisions.
Answering, logging, chasing and updating run on their own, 24/7. Your team decides on repairs and spend, and a real person is alerted on every true emergency. AI never replaces the human who answers for the job.
A 24/7 desk that always answers
AI answers every call, 24/7. Resident texts land on the request, two-way. Every request is logged as a ticket with a number, so nothing lives only in a voicemail box.
Emergencies flagged for your on-call person
Gas smells, active leaks, no heat, sparking. True emergencies are flagged on the call. With on-call paging turned on during setup, the person on call in your rotation is called and texted. During early access, our founder is also alerted on every true emergency, as the human backup. Each morning you get a summary of everything that came in overnight.
Vendors dispatched from Today, then chased
Send a vendor straight from your Today screen. They get the job as a text link with no login, and accept it with an ETA. If they go quiet, Tenaivo chases them for an answer and suggests the best backup vendor, ready to send from the same screen. For emergencies, you can turn on an automatic switch to the backup. Every vendor gets a scorecard.
Residents kept in the loop
Every resident gets a tracker link that updates as the job moves. Residents who opt in to texts also get an update at least every 48 hours, notice before anyone enters the unit, and an “Is it fixed?” check before the job closes.
Owner approvals, with proof
Owners approve bigger repairs by link. Every job has a proof pack: the photos, the invoice, the approval and the timeline.
A monthly report for each owner
A monthly maintenance report for each owner, as a PDF you can send them: spend by building and by category, repair times, and before-and-after photos.
A phone app for your techs
Your maintenance team sees their jobs, adds photos and closes each job with the cost, in English and Spanish. Updates made without signal are saved and sent when the phone reconnects.
Spanish for residents
Residents can call, text and get updates in Spanish.
One inbox for calls and texts
Every resident call and text in one inbox. Filter by unread, needs a reply or building, and reply in place.
Residents pick a time
Residents give two or three time windows on their tracker link, by text or on the call. Your tech or vendor books one, with a warning if visits overlap. Each person on your team gets a private calendar link that shows their booked visits in their own calendar app.
Inspections and a unit turn board
Move-out, move-in, annual and common-area inspections on your tech’s phone, room by room with photos. A damaged item becomes a work order in one tap, and move-in and move-out compare side by side. The turn board takes each vacant unit through five stages, with a days-vacant clock.
Vendor insurance and W-9s on file
Each vendor’s insurance certificate, W-9 and license are tracked, with reminders before they expire, so you know who is covered before a job goes out.
Preventive maintenance
Ready-made preventive schedules, like filter changes and water heater flushes, that you add to a building in one tap. Each one creates its work orders on time. Every property has an equipment list with warranty dates, and a request for equipment still under warranty reminds you to call the manufacturer before paying a vendor.
HVAC filter program
Filter sizes and change intervals for each building or unit, and a filter round on your techs’ phones. Residents who change their own filters get a reminder with the size and a one-minute how-to, by text if they opted in or by email. If it isn’t done within 14 days, a staff visit is added as a work order.
Invoice and price control
Set a not-to-exceed limit on each job. Invoices are checked and flagged when they go over the limit, look like a duplicate or cost more than that kind of job usually does. Bigger jobs can go out for two competing quotes, compared side by side, and a ledger shows the money saved.
Resident damage chargebacks
Mark a request as resident-caused, attach the photos and invoice, and set the amount. Approved charges export as a CSV for AppFolio, Buildium or Rent Manager, so your property management software bills the resident. Tenaivo never bills residents.
Reports and repeat-issue alerts
Spend by building and by category, repair times, turn times and money saved, with CSV exports. When the same problem keeps coming back to a unit, you hear about it, instead of paying for the same repair again.
Imports from Buildium and Rentvine
Buildings, units, residents and vendors import nightly from Buildium and Rentvine, read-only (Buildium’s API needs its Premium plan). Work orders stay in Tenaivo. On AppFolio, Rent Manager or Yardi, you import from a spreadsheet export, with column presets for each.
Setup included
We set up your account, your phone number and your AI line. You get a step-by-step checklist for your buildings, vendors and on-call rotation, and we help you through it. With your help, we aim to have you live within a week. Texts to residents start once US carrier registration for your number is approved.
Rolling out next
Built, and switching on account by account.
Not on every account yet, so it is not in either plan or in our savings estimate. When it is on for everyone, it moves to the list above.
Quick fixes over text
Rolling outWhen a resident texts about a simple problem, like a tripped breaker or a garbage disposal that stopped, Tenaivo walks them through a safe fix before a vendor is sent. Never for emergencies, and a request is always logged. It is built and being switched on account by account.
For your owners
Proof, approvals and no surprises.
Owners keep the managers who keep them informed. Tenaivo gives you the record to show them.

Why firms switch to us
Easy to start. Easy to leave.
Reviews of the software property managers use today say the same things. Support disappears after the sale. Contracts lock firms in. Setup drags on. We built Tenaivo the other way around.
