How FixRoute works
-
1
Tenant reports via web link
No app, no account. Tenant opens their property link, describes the issue, attaches photos. You're notified immediately.
-
2
You assign a contractor
From your dashboard, pick a contractor from your list. They receive a scoped job link with all the details — no briefing call needed.
-
3
Contractor accepts and schedules
The contractor accepts, submits a quote and proposed date. Your tenant is automatically updated. You never relay a message.
Frequently asked questions
- Does FixRoute do rent collection like Arthur Online?
- No — FixRoute is purpose-built for repair coordination, not financials or tenancy management. If you need rent collection and full property management, Arthur Online covers more ground. If you need to stop managing repairs by WhatsApp, FixRoute is the right tool.
- Is FixRoute suitable for 1–5 properties?
- That's the sweet spot. It's one flat £19/month for any number of properties, so there's no penalty for starting small. Many FixRoute users start with 2–3 properties and add the rest after their first repair — at no extra cost.
- How long does onboarding take?
- Two minutes: sign up, add a property, copy your tenant report link. That's it. Your first repair can come in the same day.
