What is the difference between AI triage and traditional resident portals?

Traditional resident portals (Yardi, AppFolio) offer passive work order submission with no diagnostic intelligence, resulting in 0% deflection rate and 60-70% first-time fix rate. PropSWOT's AI triage actively diagnoses issues through questions and photo analysis, deflects 30-40% of requests via tenant self-service, and provides pre-flight diagnostics for dispatched repairs, achieving 90%+ first-time fix rate.

Can PropSWOT integrate with existing property management software?

Yes, PropSWOT integrates with Yardi Voyager, AppFolio, Buildium, and RealPage via API connections or operates as a standalone SMS/web interface. Deflected issues close automatically; dispatched issues sync to the CMMS with pre-diagnosis data including model numbers, parts SKU, and diagnostic confidence scores.
