Stop reactive maintenance from becoming your largest cost center
Work orders, equipment age records and vendor response times connected to flag what needs proactive attention now.
Why this decision matters.
Reactive maintenance costs multiples of planned maintenance for the same work: emergency rates, tenant disruption, and collateral damage. Most portfolios know their total repair spend and cannot say which assets generate the repeat calls.
The failure mode is a vendor invoice trail with no asset history. The same rooftop unit gets patched four times in eighteen months by three vendors, and because the work orders are described differently each time, the pattern never surfaces.
Once repeat spend is attached to specific assets and vendors, capital planning becomes an evidence-based decision. Replacing the two assets that generate a disproportionate share of emergency calls usually pays back faster than any other maintenance change.

How SIGNLD answers it.
Step 01
Connects to your source systems
Read-only access to maintenance invoices and vendor spend (QuickBooks), the asset and equipment records your team maintains (Google Sheets), and tenant service requests (Zendesk).
Step 02
Builds the graph across those systems
Properties, assets, work orders, vendors, and invoices are linked so repeat work on the same physical asset is recognized even when each invoice describes it differently.
Step 03
Returns a ranked brief
The brief ranks assets by repeat emergency spend, identifies vendors with recurring rework, and recommends which assets to move to planned maintenance or replace.

What the brief looks like.
The question
Which building systems are most likely to generate emergency work orders in the next 60 days?
What SIGNLD found
The HVAC systems in Buildings A and D are in the same age and service history profile as the Building B system that failed in March, generating $22K in emergency repairs. Both are overdue for the service interval recommended in the manufacturer's specs and flagged in past inspection notes that were never acted on.
Evidence
- Building A HVAC: 7 years old, last service 14 months ago, manufacturer interval 6 months
- Building D HVAC: 6 years old, last service 11 months ago
- Building B HVAC failure (March): $22K emergency repair, same age and service profile
Recommended move
Schedule preventive service for Building A and D HVAC this month. Estimated cost: $1,800. Estimated emergency repair cost avoided: $22K-$40K based on prior failure profile.
41% reduction in emergency maintenance costs

Know which leases will not renew before renewal notices go out
Lease terms, maintenance request history and payment records connected to score renewal probability per unit. 6 leases expiring in the next 90 days show a high non-renewal profile: 3 or more maintenance complaints in the last 12 months, at least one payment that was late by 10+ days, and no lease renewal inquiry despite being in the standard contact window.
