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
- Is FixRoute right if I only have 3 properties?
- Especially yes. Small landlords get the most value because FixRoute eliminates the WhatsApp chasing that takes up disproportionate time for a small portfolio.
- Does FixRoute cover maintenance scheduling?
- FixRoute handles reactive repairs — tenant reports an issue, you assign a contractor, contractor schedules and fixes. For planned preventive maintenance scheduling, you'd use a separate tool.
