Landlords & property managers

Every unit's equipment, known and accounted for

Water heaters, boilers, furnaces, condensers and appliances spread across buildings and units, serviced by different vendors over the years. ServiceTagPro is designed to give each of them a durable identity and one continuous record, so turnover, whether of tenants, staff or vendors, never resets what you know.

ServiceTagPro is in development; this page describes how it is designed to work for you.

A ServiceTag is a small NFC tag on the equipment: no battery, no internet connection, nothing private stored on it, and read by the phone you already carry. New to NFC? Start here

Marcus and 140 rental units

An illustrative story. The people and companies in it are fictional.

  1. A portfolio of units Marcus's firm manages 140 rental units across nine buildings for an owner who has delegated day-to-day operations to it, while keeping ownership decisions for herself.
  2. The vendor changes When the plumbing contractor changes, the owner authorizes the new one. Every water heater keeps its full history, and the previous contractor's access ends.
  3. Tenants report, no account needed In the buildings where Marcus enables it, a tenant scans the tag on a leaking water heater, sees only “Unit 140” and reports the problem with photos, confirming with a one-time code texted to the phone number Marcus's team has on record. There is no app to install and nothing to sign up for.
  4. Turnover without amnesia When a tenant moves out or a maintenance coordinator leaves, the equipment's history stays exactly where it belongs: with the equipment.
  5. Old equipment, dead tags When a contractor replaces a water heater, the old unit is retired in ServiceTagPro and its tag stops working, so a tag on a discarded heater can never be used to report a problem.

What you gain

Portfolio-wide equipment knowledge

What is installed in each building and unit, who services it and what has been done to it.

Vendor changes without data loss

A new provider is authorized; the record stays with the equipment.

Delegation without giving up ownership

Owners can delegate day-to-day operations to a management company without handing over ownership decisions.

Tenant reports on your terms

Where you enable it, tenants report problems from the tag with no app and no account, confirmed by a one-time code to the phone or email you have on record, and see nothing beyond the unit's label.

Move-outs close the door

When a tenancy ends, the former tenant's number stops working, so a link saved before moving out cannot be used to file reports.

Retired with the equipment

When equipment is removed or disposed of, its tag is retired and stops working.

Accountable service

Every service entry records who did the work and when.

No extra hardware

Your maintenance staff scan with the phones they already carry, and tenants need no app and no account.

When things change

Planned continuity: these examples describe the contact updates, authorized handovers and guest access we are building.

What if the office number or maintenance contact changes?

The contact route shown by a scan is managed in ServiceTag Cloud. Your team can keep it current instead of asking tenants to save another number. A branded tag can still carry the building or service company's logo and phone number.

What happens when a vendor or property manager changes?

We are building authorized handovers that keep the equipment's tag and shared history useful through the change. The owner, or a manager with the appropriate authority, controls the new access. The outgoing party's access ends without erasing the work already recorded.

Can an independent contractor add a service visit?

A planned guest portal will let the authorized owner or manager invite the contractor by email, choose the units and history they may see, and let them record the visit in an online browser session. The contractor does not need the app or a ServiceTagPro account, and gets no access to other units.

    NFC privacy: what is actually on the tag?

    Why the tag needs no battery or internet connection, how the phone powers it, and what another person can learn by scanning it.

Join the early pilot

We are looking for a small number of landlords and property managers to shape ServiceTagPro with us. Tell us about your buildings, your units and the equipment in them.

A commercial product. ServiceTagPro is for organizations: your company signs up for a ServiceTagPro account, and your team signs in with their own ServiceTagPro accounts. Customers and tenants can request help without an app or a ServiceTagPro signup. Invited contractors will be able to use the planned guest portal without joining a company workspace.
