Property managers spend an average of 219 hours per year handling repetitive tasks like responding to tenant inquiries, scheduling maintenance, and chasing payments.

Property managers and contractors know the struggle all too well—overwhelming admin work, constant phone calls, and time-consuming maintenance coordination. Research shows that property managers spend an average of 219 hours per year on repetitive tasks, while contractors lose 14+ hours a week to inefficient processes.This level of inefficiency doesn’t just waste time—it cuts into revenue, delays service, and creates frustrated tenants.

In response, AI-powered solutions like LightWork are transforming property management by automating communication, scheduling, and admin-heavy workflows. The result? Faster response times, lower costs, and a better tenant experience.


Rethinking Property Management: Traditional vs. AI-Powered Operations

Traditional property management operations rely heavily on manual work, requiring property managers and contractors to juggle emails, phone calls, and scheduling across multiple platforms. This fragmented approach often results in missed calls, slow response times, and administrative overload. Delays in scheduling and tenant communication further add to inefficiencies, ultimately driving up operational costs and reducing overall service quality.

LightWork’s AI-powered automation offers a smarter alternative by streamlining key processes and reducing reliance on manual intervention. AI can handle the majority of tenant inquiries instantly, ensuring quicker response times while minimizing repetitive admin work. Maintenance requests are processed automatically, and job scheduling happens in seconds without the need for back-and-forth communication. With real-time job assignments for contractors, LightWork allows property managers and service providers to focus on high-value tasks, improving efficiency without being bogged down by administrative burdens.


Property Management is at a breaking point

Traditional property management operations come with hidden costs and inefficiencies that directly impact revenue. £2.5 billion is lost annually due to inefficient admin systems, with property managers and contractors spending countless hours on repetitive tasks like scheduling, tenant communication, and invoicing. This fragmented approach not only slows down response times but also increases the risk of errors, delays, and missed opportunities.

The financial impact is significant—30% of potential revenue is lost due to manual processes, and contractors alone can lose up to £10,000 per year simply from missed calls and out-of-hours inquiries. LightWork’s AI-powered automation offers a smarter, more efficient alternative by instantly handling tenant inquiries, processing maintenance requests in real time, and automating job scheduling. Instead of losing revenue to inefficiencies, property managers and contractors can focus on high-value tasks that drive growth and improve service quality.


How LightWork AI Solves These Challenges

The inefficiencies of traditional property management—manual admin work, slow response times, and fragmented communication—have long hindered productivity and profitability. Without automation, property managers and contractors spend hours juggling emails, phone calls, and spreadsheets, leading to job delays and a disjointed workflow.
