A property management company slashed manual tasks by 60% and boosted tenant satisfaction by automating onboarding, maintenance, and communication. Using Zapier, Make, and AI tools, they streamlined workflows and saved over 20 hours weekly.

By integrating workflow automation and AI, the company connected their CRM, email, and ticketing systems. This eliminated repetitive data entry, sped up response times, and ensured nothing slipped through the cracks—delivering a smoother experience for both staff and tenants.

The Challenge

Managing hundreds of properties meant the company juggled tenant onboarding, maintenance requests, and daily communication—mostly by hand. Staff spent hours copying data between systems, responding to emails, and tracking tickets. Mistakes and delays were common. According to McKinsey (2024), 45% of repetitive office tasks can be automated, yet most property managers still rely on manual processes. The company needed a way to reduce workload, minimize errors, and improve service quality.

The Solution

Flow Genius designed an end-to-end workflow automation system using Zapier, Make, and AI integration. The solution connected the company’s property management software, email, and ticketing platform. AI tools handled routine inquiries and triaged requests. Automation routed tasks instantly, updated records, and triggered personalized communications—freeing staff to focus on higher-value work.

Implementation Steps

1. Mapped all manual processes, including onboarding, maintenance, and communication touchpoints. 2. Integrated the CRM and ticketing system with Zapier to automate data transfer and task creation. 3. Used Make to build custom workflows for onboarding new tenants, including document collection and welcome emails. 4. Deployed AI chatbots to answer common tenant questions and route maintenance requests to the right team. 5. Set up automated notifications and follow-ups to keep tenants informed at every stage. 6. Monitored performance and adjusted workflows for maximum efficiency.

Results

The company reduced manual workload by 60%, saving over 20 hours each week. Tenant satisfaction scores rose by 25%, with faster response times and fewer missed requests. Maintenance tickets were resolved 40% faster. According to Deloitte (2024), companies using workflow automation see an average 30–50% improvement in process speed. Staff reported less burnout, and management gained real-time visibility into operations.
