AI-Powered Similarity Detection: Transforming Work Order & Recurring Issues Management

Written by Team Visitt | Aug 6, 2024 11:09:25 AM

CRE Building Operations managers face numerous challenges, including managing teams with a high volume of work orders, ensuring efficient resource allocation, and maintaining tenant satisfaction. Tenant requests and problems often pile up, making it difficult to spot unresolved issues. This can lead to multiple complaints and unsatisfied tenants when problems are not addressed thoroughly. Additionally, missing recurring issues can escalate into significant problems, resulting in substantial expenses for repairs and maintenance that could have been avoided with earlier intervention.

In this context, AI-powered similarity detection becomes crucial. It helps identify recurring issues and duplications, allowing managers to tackle significant problems and enhance operational efficiency. Leading CRE owners and operators are moving away from legacy software and adopting Visitt’s AI-powered solutions to stay ahead of the curve. With Visitt’s innovative approach, AI Similarity Detection is transforming building operations by providing a proactive way to deliver exceptional building experiences.

In this article, we will explore how it works, why it is a must-have feature, and the benefits of AI-Powered Work Order Similarity Detection.

How does Work Order Similarity Detection Work?

In a sentence, Work Order Similarity Detection leverages AI algorithms to analyze and compare incoming work orders against existing ones in real-time. 

Here’s a simplified breakdown:

  1. The system captures work order details as they are created by your tenants.
  2. It uses natural language processing (NLP) to understand the content and context of each work order.
  3. Advanced algorithms identify similarities in descriptions, keywords, and other attributes.
  4. Potential recurrent or duplicate work orders are flagged for review or automatic consolidation.
  5. An escalation is created: relevant building operations teams are assigned to ensure efficient resource allocation and prevent redundant tasks.

 

Why addressing recurring issues with AI is essential?

Recurring issues often go unnoticed, causing significant negative experiences for tenants and potentially revealing large or severe problems in a building or its equipment.

Manually managing and identifying similar work orders consumes valuable time and effort from your teams, detracting them from attending to more critical tasks. Because manual processes miss many recurring issues, inefficiencies persist, and errors occur in addressing issues, directly affecting the accuracy of your reports. While duplication detection enhances efficiency, tackling recurring issues delivers the most substantial value and impact.

Without real-time detection, duplicate work orders can delay responses and resolutions negatively impacting tenant satisfaction and overall building performance.

Visitt AI is designed to address these challenges head-on. Here’s how:


Gain Full Control of Resource Management

Visitt AI streamlines the work order process, optimizing resource utilization and enhancing the overall workflow. This results in saving time for both administrative staff and field teams. As a result, your team can deliver superior service, achieve higher levels of task completion, and significantly increase operational efficiency.


Increased Resolution SLA and Tenant Satisfaction

AI-driven work order similarity detection significantly improves resolution SLAs and tenant satisfaction. When your teams identify and consolidate duplicate work orders in real-time, they can address issues more quickly and efficiently. This streamlined process reduces the time taken to resolve problems, ensuring that SLAs are consistently met or exceeded. It’s no secret that faster resolutions lead to enhanced tenant satisfaction, as issues are resolved promptly, minimizing disruptions and improving the overall tenant experience. 


Cost saving

By identifying and addressing issues early, AI-powered similarity detection helps prevent both minor and significant problems from escalating into costly repairs. This proactive approach reduces maintenance expenses and minimizes downtime, allowing CRE operations to maintain budget efficiency while ensuring optimal building performance and tenant satisfaction.

Better Reports Make Better Informed Decisions

The identification of duplicate work orders in real-time leads to clearer and more accurate data for reporting. With Visitt AI's Similarity Detection, redundant entries are flagged for review, ensuring that your reports reflect the true scope of work being performed. This clarity enhances decision-making by providing a precise overview of maintenance activities and resource utilization. Accurate data empowers operations managers to identify trends, allocate resources more effectively, and address potential issues proactively, resulting in more strategic and informed decisions that drive overall operational excellence.


AI-powered similarity detection is just one of the many innovative features that Visitt AI offers, designed to enhance overall building operations and efficiency. Read more about Visitt AI’s offering on our dedicated page.
