Contractor Records Lived Nowhere Central
Contact details, service categories, and past work for each contractor were scattered across emails and notes.
REAL ESTATE & PROPTECH MVP CASE STUDY
Bringing Every Maintenance Contractor Into One System Of Record
Property teams juggling multiple maintenance contractors often manage assignments, quotes, and payment status through scattered calls, emails, and spreadsheets, with no shared record of who did what or how they performed. We designed and built a SaaS MVP that manages contractors, service categories, assignments, quotations, documentation, ratings, and payment status in one system.
✎ One Contractor Record Assignments, quotes, documentation, and ratings for every contractor sit in the same place.
⌘ Greenfield MVP Build Built from the ground up around how property teams actually source and manage contractor work.
♧ Payment Status Visibility Teams can see what's been quoted, approved, and paid without chasing separate records.
Turning Scattered Contractor Communication Into One Managed Record
Managing maintenance contractors across multiple properties usually means tracking who's assigned to what, chasing quotations by email, and keeping documentation and payment status in whatever tool was handy at the time.
The platform gives property teams one place to manage contractors by service category, assign work, collect quotations, store documentation, record ratings, and track payment status, so nothing about a contractor relationship is scattered across separate tools.

The Challenge
Quotations Were Hard To Compare
Quotes arrived in different formats through different channels, making it hard to compare or track approval status.
Payment Status Was Unclear
Without a shared record, it wasn't always clear which invoices were approved, paid, or still outstanding.
What We Can Identified
A platform built around contractor records, structured assignments, and clear quotation and payment tracking.
Contractor Profiles
Each contractor is recorded once with their service categories, contact details, and documentation, ready to reference for any assignment.
Service Category Organization
Contractors are grouped by the type of work they do, so teams can find the right contractor for a job quickly.
Assignment Tracking
Work assigned to a contractor is tracked from creation through completion, keeping accountability clear.
Quotation Management
Quotations are captured and compared in one place, so approving contractor work no longer depends on email threads.
Ratings & Performance History
Teams rate contractors after work is completed, building a performance record that informs future assignments.
Payment Status Tracking
Each assignment shows whether payment is pending, approved, or settled, giving finance a clear view without asking around.

The MVP launched ready to manage live contractor relationships, with room to add more automation next.
A contractor relationship you can't see clearly is one you can't manage well — put it on record, and accountability follows.
Engineering Behind The Contractor Management Experience
Contractor & Category Model
Contractor profiles and service categories are structured so assignments can be matched to the right contractor quickly.

Assignments and their quotations move through a consistent status flow from request to approval.
Documentation & Ratings Storage
Contractor documentation and post-job ratings are stored against each contractor's record for future reference.
Built To Extend
