The challenge

Pain points we addressed

  • Requests scattered across email, phone, and 3 different spreadsheets

  • No visibility into work order status or aging

  • Vendor coordination done via phone and text with no audit trail

  • Weekly reports manually compiled from multiple sources

  • Tenants had no way to check status without calling

The strategy

Why we built it this way

We needed something field staff would actually use—simple, mobile-friendly, and fast. Supabase gave us real-time updates without building websockets from scratch. Next.js meant one codebase for the ops dashboard and a lightweight tenant-facing status page. We avoided full property management software; this client needed request intake and work order flow, not lease management. Resend handled tenant and vendor notifications without another integration.
