The problem

Requests by phone and email, and by month-end the overview is gone?

In property management the process usually breaks between the report and the fix. The software isn't the problem, it's that requests are never captured in one place.

  • Requests get lost

    Tenants report issues by phone, WhatsApp and email. Without a ticket, half of them disappear into the daily grind.

  • No overview of what's open

    Which repair is running, which is overdue, who's waiting for a reply? No one sees it at a glance.

  • Contractor coordination is manual

    Appointments, quotes and contractor replies are chased one by one over phone and email.

The solution

One system for the entire management process

From request to billing, every case follows the same flow. Every report becomes a ticket, and nothing gets lost between the phone and the inbox.

Every request becomes a ticket

Whether by email, form or phone, every report lands as a ticket on the right property, with category, photo and history. Nothing gets re-typed or forgotten.

Assignment & contractor coordination

Tickets are assigned automatically by trade, contractors are requested and appointments tracked. Status and replies all come together in one place.

Owner overview & billing

Owners see the status of their properties; receipts and documents file themselves per case, so the operating-cost statement draws on clean, complete data.

Program & workflow

How we roll out Zoho One in your business

We think our way into your workflow and see ourselves as a long-term development partner. Here are the four phases.

  1. AnalysisWe review your workflow from the tenant request through contractor coordination to billing and find your biggest time sinks.
  2. ConceptWe design your processes in Zoho One and plan the Zoho architecture (business process mapping).
  3. ImplementationSetup, configuration, the automations and migration of your property, tenant and owner data.
  4. SupportTraining for your team, fine-tuning and ongoing support, so the system becomes a fixed part of your everyday work.
AI in practice

Where AI actually takes work off your plate in property management.

No gimmicks, concrete places where we've built AI into real Zoho setups, so your team types less and nothing slips through.

  • Triaging tenant emails by hand
    Request triage

    Emails arrive already sorted

    Incoming emails are read automatically, categorised (heating, water damage, noise …) and routed to the right property & trade with a priority.

  • Typing invoices line by line
    Document OCR

    Invoices read themselves

    Amounts, dates and property references are extracted from invoices and contracts via OCR and written into the right field.

  • Writing every reply from scratch
    Reply assistant

    Standard replies in seconds

    For recurring requests the AI suggests ready-made reply drafts in your management's tone. Your team just reviews and confirms.

Frequently asked

What you'll want to know before the call.

Can tenants, owners and contractors work in the same system?

Yes. Each group gets exactly the access it needs: tenants report requests, contractors see only their job, your team keeps full oversight.

Can condominium and rental management be kept separate?

Yes. Properties, units and contracts are structured so condominium and rental management stay cleanly separated, yet reportable in one system.

How long does rolling out Zoho One take?

Depending on scope, typically a few weeks to a few months. After our first meeting we give you a rough estimate, and after the requirements meeting a realistic estimate for your specific business.

What does Zoho One cost?

Zoho One costs €37 per employee per month on an annual plan, or €45 per employee with monthly billing. That includes all 50+ Zoho apps. We show you which option fits your business in the consultation, including a comparison with your current tools if you like.

Do we have to re-enter our existing data?

No. We migrate existing customer, quote and job data into Zoho One as part of the implementation, provided it can be exported from your current system.

Can Zoho One connect to our existing tools?

In most cases yes. Google and Microsoft connect easily for email, calendar and drive, as do many other common applications. Beyond that, almost any system can be integrated individually via the Zoho API.

Does Zoho One suit smaller businesses and mobile teams?

Yes. Zoho One works for sole traders as well as growing teams. Your team accesses records, tasks and documents on the go via the app, even when out of the office.

Where is our data stored?

On request in Zoho's EU data centres, GDPR-compliant. Your data stays within the European legal space, an important point for businesses with sensitive customer and project data.

How much time does the project cost us day-to-day?

As little as possible. Your team is only involved at a few clearly agreed points, such as analysing the workflow, providing information and training, so your day-to-day work keeps running.
