How a Property Management Company Organized Requests and Stopped Losing Residents’ Messages

When a tap is leaking in the building or the elevator starts acting up, residents do not wait. They call, write in every possible chat, and raise the alarm across every channel.

This is how every day used to start at the property management company where Elena Mitchell works. Calls, WhatsApp messages, Telegram messages, and sometimes direct requests through the website. It seemed like the team had everything under control, but as the number of buildings grew, the situation got out of hand.

In this case study, we cover:

Company: Property management company / Housing and utilities / HOA
Number of employees: 15 people
Registration in Upservice: March 2025

Every morning began with dozens of messages and calls. Someone reported a leak in the basement, someone sent a photo of a missing light bulb, and someone simply wrote: “There’s that noise from the ventilation again.”

Requests were recorded in different ways: John wrote them in a notebook, Emily kept an Excel spreadsheet, and Michael just tried to keep everything in his head.
The main problem was chaos. We couldn’t keep track of what had already been done and what was still stuck. Sometimes residents called again, angry that no one had replied, and we couldn’t even quickly understand who had taken the request.

Why did they decide to look for a solution?

When there were too many requests, it became clear: they could not manage without a system. The company began looking at different options.

But they wanted more than just request tracking. They needed real control: the ability to see all requests, assign responsible employees, get reports, and avoid making the team constantly switch between messengers. That is how Sarah and her team found Upservice.

Experience using Upservice in a property management company

We had to find time for a demo, and that was the only downside. But during the demonstration, it became clear that everything was intuitive. We immediately liked that WhatsApp and Telegram could be connected, because that is where almost all residents write.
After connecting the channels, requests to the property management company started coming directly into the system. That was it — no more opening dozens of chats.

Each message becomes a request with a number, responsible employee, and status. The manager sees who is doing what, while residents receive faster replies.

What changed after implementation

  • All requests are now in one place, and nothing gets lost.
  • Employees can see which requests are in progress and what stage they are at.
  • Management receives reports without manual calculations.
  • Residents notice the difference — at the very least, they started receiving replies much faster.

Sarah says that working through the mobile app is especially convenient:
I can check requests even outside the office, assign a task to a technician, or close completed work. It really speeds up the process.

Company results after 3 weeks

A few weeks after implementation, the company completely stopped using Excel and chats to record requests. The number of repeat requests decreased, while response speed increased. Employees no longer argue about who did what, because everything is recorded automatically.

Want the same result?

If your processes are similar — many buildings, many requests, calls, and messages in messengers — try Upservice.

Connect Telegram and WhatsApp so that all requests automatically enter the system. Bring order to your processes, just like Sarah’s company did, and feel the difference.

2 Years with Upservice: How an Engineer Simplified Team Operations and Improved Service Quality

The company operates in the home services sector and specializes in the sale, installation, and maintenance of climate control equipment. It has a team of 50 employees and serves both private and corporate clients.

Before implementing Upservice, the company used two well-known systems at once: one for internal tasks and another for customer communication. However, they lacked a single workspace where they could manage requests, track execution, communicate with clients, and collaborate within the team.

Michael was tasked with finding exactly this kind of system. That is how, in 2023, he discovered Upservice and joined an online demo.

About Company:

Client: Michael Carter, Engineer
Industry: Climate control equipment maintenance
Experience with Upservice: 2 years
Company size: 50 employees

Implementation goals:

  • Combine service, installation, and customer communication tasks and requests in one system;
  • Automate task assignment among field technicians;
  • Track request progress and analyze employee performance through reports.

Frequently used Upservice features:

  • Mobile app for engineers;
  • Processing requests through WhatsApp, Telegram, and email;
  • Requests with routes, prioritization, and reminders;
  • Customer database and object directories;
  • Recurring requests for scheduled maintenance;
  • Reports section.

What Upservice replaced: two separate tools — one for internal team collaboration and another for processing customer requests.

How it all started

According to Michael, the company had been working in two services for a year: one for the team and another for customers. But this created constant difficulties:
“We planned tasks in one system and received customer requests in another. Engineers got confused, and it was difficult for the manager to stay in control. There was a lot of information, but it was scattered across different places.”
The company decided to find a more universal system. After a demo with an Upservice manager, the team started a trial period and later fully switched to the platform.

How the implementation went

The launch was completed in several stages:

  • Employees were invited to the company workspace;
  • Objects and equipment were added to directories;
  • Request intake channels were configured;
  • Prioritization was set up using labels;
  • The mobile app was installed for every employee.
“At first, it was not clear how to use all the functionality. But after the demo with Ilya, we started working. The main thing is that everything is in one place — from the request itself to the field visit report.”

What changed after the company switched to Upservice?

  • Requests are now received centrally and immediately recorded in the system;
  • Field technicians receive specific tasks with descriptions and geolocation;
  • Clients receive status updates on their requests and can rate the quality of service;
  • The manager can see each employee’s output and workload, as well as track customer satisfaction;
  • Scheduled maintenance and warranty requests are now created according to a schedule and no longer get lost.

Results after six months of using the system, according to Michael:

  • Request processing time was reduced from 3 hours to 30 minutes;
  • All requests are now recorded and no longer get lost;
  • Engineers started closing tasks on time — previously, 20% of tasks could remain unresolved for weeks;
  • Clients noted better communication and greater transparency;
  • Management can now see statistics in real time.

After 2 years of working in the system, we asked Michael to share his feedback:

“Upservice is a universal solution. We brought our internal and external work together. Engineers, the office, and clients are now all in one system. It has become much easier to control and manage service operations. Overall, work has become simpler and calmer.”

— Michael Carter, Engineer
If your company installs, services, or repairs climate control equipment or other types of equipment, Upservice can become a universal solution for you as well.

We will show you the system in action and explain how to build a service process without losses or chaos — where requests do not get lost, employees work in sync, and clients stay satisfied.

Make your work simpler and more productive — just submit a request.

How an AI Assistant Helped Reduce the Workload on a Support Team and Speed Up Responses

Emily Parker is exactly the kind of ideal client every product team wants: always available and always ready to share feedback. Her company’s employees were among the first to ask for an AI helper for first-line support. When we developed the AI Assistant in Upservice, we immediately added it to their account.

We will not go into how operators process requests in Service Desk or how they found our system a year ago. Let’s focus only on their feedback about the AI Assistant for support.

Client company information

  • Client: Emily Parker, Head of Technical Support
  • Company industry: Office equipment service and maintenance: printers, multifunction devices, scanners
  • Team: 8 technical support employees
  • Goal: Reduce the workload on the first line of support and speed up customer responses
  • Frequently used features: Telegram and WhatsApp channels, AI Assistant, mobile app, employee performance reports
  • Before Upservice: Requests in messengers, Excel spreadsheets, and personal chats

What things looked like before the AI Assistant was introduced

As a reminder, Emily’s company was already using Upservice. The entire first line of support was essentially doing the same work every day: sending instructions to customers, searching for the right PDF documents, and answering the same questions over and over again. At some point, even response templates were no longer enough to handle the workload.
“Simple questions were taking more time than actual field visits or complex cases. The team was burning out, and I couldn’t clearly understand who needed to be assigned where first,” Emily recalls.
The company’s employees contacted Upservice support with a request: “Can you build something that can answer customers for us — almost like templates, but not like a soulless bot?”

That is how the AI Assistant appeared a couple of months later.

How the AI Assistant became part of the team

It all started simply: documents with instructions, a list of frequently asked questions, website links, and the internal knowledge base were uploaded to the assistant. Then it was enabled for Telegram, WhatsApp, the website chat, and email.

The AI Assistant started replying to messages on its own. If it understood the question, it gave a detailed and clear answer. If it did not know how to respond, it transferred the request to a real employee.
“What impressed me was that we didn’t need to write complex scripts. You just upload the information that has already been collected over the past 8 years, and it answers properly,” says Emily.

What changed one month after adding the AI Assistant to the support team

  • On average, 75% of requests are resolved directly by the AI Assistant;
  • Employees finally focused on technical tasks instead of template replies and endless message threads;
  • First response time dropped from 15 minutes to 1 minute;
  • The risk of SLA violations decreased simply because the assistant replies instantly.
“I was really worried about the team’s condition with such a growing workload. Now I can see that it has become much more comfortable for them to work.”

What’s next

  1. Connect the AI Assistant to internal request channels between departments.
  2. Start using analytics to understand which topics are repeated most often.

Want the same results?

If your support employees are burning out from repetitive questions and the number of requests keeps growing, you can already test the Upservice AI Assistant. It works directly inside the system, does not require a developer for setup, and becomes part of the team right after instantly processing the information you provide.
]]> How a Manufacturing Company Organized Support Requests and Cut Resolution Time by 38% in 3 Months https://upservice.io/blog/how-a-manufacturing-company-organized-support-requests Thu, 04 Jun 2026 16:52:00 +0300

How a Manufacturing Company Organized Support Requests and Cut Resolution Time by 38% in 3 Months

Manufacturing teams often rely on emails, messengers, spreadsheets, and phone calls to handle internal support requests. It may work at first, but as the number of requests grows, tasks start getting lost, priorities become unclear, and managers lose visibility.

In this case study, we’ll show how a manufacturing company moved its support process to Upservice, brought all requests into one system, and reduced resolution time by 38% in just 3 months.

About Company

Client: A manufacturing company
Industry: Electronic components manufacturing
Employees: 150
Support requests: ~250 per month
Assignees: 3 people from the internal technical support team

What Challenges the Company Faced

Before implementing Upservice, the technical support team received requests by email, through Telegram, and simply over the phone. All requests were recorded manually in Excel.

This approach worked up to a point, but then the same problems started appearing again and again:
  • Requests were getting lost or duplicated;
  • Employees did not understand whether someone had already taken their request into work;
  • The support team struggled to track priorities;
  • The manager had no clear way to see who was working on what and how much time each task took.
“It felt like we were constantly putting out fires. One person would message us, another would call, and sometimes we only remembered a request when someone came back with a complaint,” recalls Michael Turner, Head of Technical Support.

How They Chose a Solution

The company started looking for a simple and easy-to-use tool that would work for both office employees and warehouse technicians.

They needed a system that could:
  • Receive requests from email and Telegram;
  • Track task status and priority;
  • Provide clear reports for management;
  • Be implemented quickly, without long setup or training.

After a short test during the free trial period, the company decided to implement Upservice.

How the Implementation Went

The implementation took 2 days.

The team configured request categories, priority levels, and basic notification templates. Email and the Telegram bot were connected right away, which made it possible to collect all requests in one place without losses or duplicates.

The team also completed two remote training sessions by video call. After that, all employees started working in the new system.

What Changed After 3 Months

  • Request resolution time decreased by 38% thanks to automatic assignment and transparent tracking.
  • No requests are lost anymore because employees can see the status of their requests themselves.
  • Response time for urgent requests improved — for high-priority requests, SLA is met in 97% of cases.
  • The manager can now see each employee’s workload and balance tasks more effectively.
“We finally got rid of the chaos. Now we can see who is working on what, and people no longer feel like their requests are disappearing into thin air. Everything is clear and under control,” says Michael Turner.

What’s Next

The company now plans to start measuring technical support quality through automatic requester surveys. They also plan to expand the use of Upservice to other departments.

The first step will be implementing it in the engineering design department to manage and track internal work tasks.

Want Similar Results?

Your technical support team can also work much faster — without chaos, lost requests, or manual control.

Upservice helps companies move from Excel and messengers to a transparent system in just a couple of days: requests are not lost, employees are happier, and managers can see the full picture.
