Property managers overseeing 50+ residential or commercial units spend an average of 22 hours per week on maintenance coordination — fielding tenant calls, dispatching vendors, and chasing work order status updates. The properties that maintain 95%+ tenant satisfaction and lowest operating costs share one trait: they run their maintenance through a digital CMMS instead of spreadsheets, phone calls, and sticky notes. For a 200-unit portfolio, the difference between reactive and planned maintenance is $120,000–$180,000 in annual operating costs. Simplify your property maintenance with OxMaint — free.

Manage tenant requests, building systems, vendor coordination, and preventive maintenance across your entire portfolio — one platform, every property.
What OxMaint Manages Across Property Types
Whether you manage apartment complexes, office buildings, mixed-use developments, or retail properties, the core maintenance challenges are the same — tenant requests, building system PM, vendor management, and compliance documentation. OxMaint handles all of them with property-specific configurations that match your portfolio.
Property Maintenance Costs — Manual vs. CMMS Managed
The cost difference between managing property maintenance manually (spreadsheets, phone calls, email chains) and using a digital CMMS is measurable within the first quarter. The table below compares actual operating metrics for a 200-unit residential portfolio managed both ways — based on aggregated data from OxMaint property management deployments.
| Metric | Manual Management | OxMaint CMMS | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avg. request response time | 18 hours | 3.8 hours | 79% faster |
| PM completion rate | 42% | 96% | +54 points |
| Emergency maintenance ratio | 65% of all work orders | 22% of all work orders | -43 points |
| Annual maintenance cost per unit | $2,400 | $1,560 | 35% reduction |
| Tenant satisfaction score | 72% | 94% | +22 points |
| Manager weekly time on maintenance | 22 hours | 6 hours | 73% reduction |
Building Systems PM — Annual Maintenance Calendar
Every commercial or residential building has critical systems that require scheduled preventive maintenance. Missing these schedules leads to tenant complaints, code violations, and expensive emergency repairs. OxMaint automates the entire annual PM calendar and notifies assigned technicians or vendors before tasks come due.
Property Manager Perspective
I manage 340 units across 6 buildings. Before OxMaint, I was on the phone 4 hours a day coordinating maintenance. Now tenants submit requests through the portal, vendors get auto-dispatched, and I manage everything from a dashboard. Tenant satisfaction went from 71% to 93% in 8 months.
