Steps on dispatching a vendor

  • Most common vendor dispatches are for pool repairs/cleaning, plumbing, AC, pest control, landscape, appliance, electrician. 
  • When dispatching a vendor always use the owners preferred vendor first. Owners preferred vendors information can be found on Breezeway. Property>about>notes (ex pic attached below).

  • Once you contact the owners preferred vendor you will create a work order with all the details. If the vendor did not answer, please leave a voicemail & a text message. Let him know he has 30 minutes to return your call or you will have to call a different vendor. Add this information in the work order. 
  • If the owner does not have a preferred vendor or their vendor is not available for your service request please dispatch a vendor from Acmes vendor list (stored in the drive, link below). Share all of the information you have with the vendor.
