Forward-deployed engineering for property management.

Work orders, dispatch, and owner reports, automated inside your property system. Leasing and resident platforms like EliseAI cover prospect and resident messages. Work orders, vendor dispatch, and owner reporting still sit in AppFolio or Yardi and in someone's inbox. We put an engineer with your operations team to decide what to buy and to build the rest.

  • Free 14-day pilot
  • On a company laptop, inside your network
  • We train your team
  • Vendor-agnostic
  • You own the code

What is already working, and what it took.

Asset Living, with more than 445,000 units, put one platform across leasing, collections, renewals, and maintenance.

What it took

One platform across leasing, collections, renewals, and maintenance, rolled out alongside onsite teams across a portfolio of more than 445,000 units.

Figures as reported by the vendor or customer at the linked source. They are not OpenNash results.

Someone on your side, with a laptop and the authority to decide.

Asset Living chose one platform and rolled it out alongside onsite teams, which takes people who can run both the evaluation and the rollout. These are platform-wide numbers, not a result for maintenance triage alone. Our engineer runs that evaluation for you and builds the maintenance and reporting steps, with a login to your property system and time with your regional managers.

AI can do the work. Running it inside your company is the gap.

The deployment gap What AI can do rises steeply. Work orders in an inbox stays nearly flat, leaving a widening gap. A line for an OpenNash engineer rises from the bottom line toward what AI can do. the gap What AI can do OpenNash engineer Work orders in an inbox

The first pilot: maintenance request triage.

  1. Week 1We confirm the API or export route for your property system, sit with a property manager and the maintenance coordinator, and time triage and dispatch.
  2. Day 14Maintenance requests for the pilot properties are triaged and drafted as work orders for review.
  3. Weeks 3-8Writeback to the property system, dispatch rules, on-call routing with fallback, and owner report drafts.
  4. After launchWe run it on a flat monthly fee or hand it over, then add properties, owner reporting, or rent follow-up.

The day-14 test: maintenance request triage

Written down with your team in week 1. The pilot is free, and it has to pass these before anything goes further.

$ run day-14 --suite real-estate-property-management
T01A request matching the emergency rules for leaks, no heat, or gas triggers the on-call route, and a missed acknowledgment triggers the fallback.
T02A routine request becomes a draft work order with the right category and vendor.
T03A request with no unit number gets one clarifying question.
T04A duplicate request is attached to the open work order.
T05Nothing is dispatched during the pilot without a person's approval.

Example acceptance tests, not results from a customer deployment. Yours are written with your team.

Systems we work in

  • AppFolio, Yardi, Buildium, RealPage
  • EliseAI or your leasing platform
  • Vendor networks and dispatch tools
  • Owner reporting and accounting

Rules from day one

  • People make every applicant decision, and screening criteria are never set by the model.
  • Emergency rules are written in code and tested, not left to a prompt.
  • The property management system stays the record.
  • Code, prompts, and test cases live in your repository and stay with you.
Does it work with AppFolio, Yardi, or Buildium?

We confirm the available API, export, or approved integration route for your product and account before scoping the pilot. The property system stays the record.

Can the agent approve or reject applicants?

No. A person makes every applicant decision.

What happens with an emergency request?

Requests that match your emergency rules go to the on-call contact at any hour. If the notification fails or is not acknowledged, a documented fallback runs.

Why you need one

Every result on this page needed engineers inside the company. We can be yours.

A senior engineer joins your team on a laptop you issue, tests the options on your data, and puts one property management workflow into production in 4 to 8 weeks. It starts with a free 14-day pilot judged against test cases you agree in writing.

On your laptopWe work on a machine you issue, behind your VPN and SSO. We file the access tickets and chase them.
Next to your teamWe sit with the people who do the work and build around how they actually work.
IndependentWe do not work for any model company or software vendor, so we test the alternatives and tell you what we would buy.
SeniorEngineers who have shipped production systems at Palantir, Meta, Databricks, and Global 2000 companies.

After launch, we run and improve the workflow on a flat monthly fee, or your team takes it over. The code, tests, and runbook are yours either way.
