• Automated work order updates and comments: Let your agent update existing work orders or add comments for documentation and real-time communication between team members.
• Asset and location tracking: Effortlessly list and retrieve all assets and locations across your organization, helping you keep maintenance data organized and accessible.
• Category and team organization: Enable your agent to fetch and manage categories or teams, ensuring work orders and assets are classified and assigned correctly.
• Smart work request portals: Have your agent generate custom work request portals so stakeholders can submit maintenance requests easily and securely.
