Requests Reported Informally
Tenants reported issues by phone or message with no structured record, making it hard to track what had actually been requested.
PROPTECH MVP CASE STUDY
Turning Ad-Hoc Repair Requests Into A Trackable Workflow
Tenants were reporting property issues through phone calls and messages that managers had no reliable way to track through to resolution. MVPHUB designed and built a maintenance request MVP that lets tenants report issues while managers assign contractors and track every request to completion.
▣ One Workflow, Every Request Reported issues, contractor assignments and progress are tracked from a single connected system.
♙ Built For Managers & Tenants Designed around how property issues actually get reported, assigned and resolved.
✦ Greenfield MVP Build Designed, built and shipped from a validated concept to a working first release.
Bringing Maintenance Requests Into One Trackable Workflow
Property issues reported by phone or message are easy to lose track of once a contractor is involved. Without a shared system, managers struggle to know which requests are open, who they've been assigned to, and how long they've been outstanding.
The maintenance request management platform gives tenants a simple way to report issues, and gives property managers a structured workflow to assign contractors, track progress and keep a service history for every property.

The Challenge
No Contractor Assignment Trail
Once a contractor was assigned, there was no shared record of who was responsible or what stage the repair was at.
No Service History
Managers had no reliable history of past maintenance work per property, making recurring issues harder to spot.
What We Can Identified
A connected maintenance workflow built around how tenants report issues and managers coordinate contractors.
Tenant Issue Reporting
Tenants submit maintenance issues with details and photos, replacing informal phone calls and messages.
Contractor Assignment
Managers assign each request to a contractor and track who is responsible for resolving it.
Progress Tracking
Every request moves through a clear status timeline, so tenants and managers both know where things stand.
Service History
Completed requests are kept as a service history per property, helping managers spot recurring issues.
Request Prioritization
Managers can flag urgent issues so critical repairs are not lost among routine requests.
Status Notifications
Tenants receive updates as their request moves from reported to assigned to resolved.
How MVPHUB Deliver The Maintenance Platform From Concept To MVP
1
◇ Discover
We mapped how tenants currently report issues and how managers coordinate contractors to resolve them.
2
✎ Define
Core workflows for reporting, assignment, progress tracking and service history were prioritized for the first release.
3
✦ Design
Screens and flows were designed around a clear request lifecycle tenants and managers could both follow.
4
♢ Build & Verify
Our engineering team built and tested the core workflow, reviewing each status transition for reliability before release.
5
⌁ Launch
The MVP shipped as a working platform ready to manage real maintenance requests across properties.
A connected maintenance workflow turns ad-hoc repair requests into a trackable process managers can actually rely on.
Engineering Behind The Platform
Structured Request Data
Issues, contractor assignments and status history were modeled as connected records rather than isolated messages.
Reliable Status Workflow
The request lifecycle was built and tested so status changes remain accurate and auditable.
Built For Continued Growth
The MVP was designed so additional features can be layered on as the platform is validated with real managers and tenants.

From Ad-Hoc Requests To A Trackable Maintenance Workflow
Design around the real request lifecycle. Build the core first. Validate with real properties.
Maintenance teams don't need every feature on day one — they need a reliable way to capture requests, assign contractors and track progress to resolution. MVPHUB focused the first release on those core workflows, giving the client a working platform ready to be tested with real properties.
THE MVPHUB PRINCIPLE
"A maintenance platform doesn't need every feature to be useful on day one. It needs reporting, assignment and progress tracking to work reliably together, so real repair requests can be managed from the first release.
