How we operate

The Situation

When a new client with an 8,000 sq ft property in Austin approached us about recurring operational challenges and staff turnover issues, our integrated team structure allowed us to provide comprehensive solutions that no single manager could deliver alone.

Our Collaborative Approach

Step 1: Client Success Manager Takes the Lead
Our dedicated Client Success Manager became the primary point of contact, conducting initial meetings to understand the client's specific challenges, preferences, and goals. This provided a single, consistent communication channel while coordinating our specialized teams behind the scenes.

Step 2: Assessment Team Evaluates the Property
Our Assessment Team conducted a thorough on-site evaluation, documenting:

Physical property systems and maintenance history
Existing operational workflows and pain points
Staff responsibilities and skill gaps
Vendor relationships and service quality
Technology infrastructure and utilization

Step 3: Operations Team Analyzes Management Systems
While the assessment was underway, our Operations Team reviewed the existing management approach and identified several critical issues:

Unclear staff responsibilities creating redundancies and gaps
Inconsistent maintenance schedules leading to preventable emergency repairs
Inefficient vendor management resulting in higher costs and variable quality
Lack of documentation creating dependency on individual staff knowledge

Step 4: Financial Review Team Examines Resource Allocation
Our Financial Review Team analyzed the property's operating expenses, identifying:

Opportunities to consolidate vendor services for better rates
Staff scheduling inefficiencies that were increasing labor costs
Maintenance approaches that emphasized reactive repairs over cost-effective prevention
Budget allocation misalignments with the client's actual priorities

Step 5: Technology Team Evaluates Digital Infrastructure
Simultaneously, our Technology Team assessed the property's systems and found:

Multiple disconnected tools creating information silos
Underutilization of existing smart home capabilities
Inefficient communication methods between staff and with vendors
Lack of central documentation and knowledge management

Step 6: Implementation Team Creates the Solution
With input from all specialized teams, our Implementation Team developed a comprehensive plan that included:

Restructured staff responsibilities with clear accountability
New maintenance protocols emphasizing prevention
Consolidated vendor relationships with improved service agreements
Integrated technology solutions connecting previously siloed systems
Staff training programs to ensure sustainable improvements

Step 7: Flexible Implementation Using Optimal Resources
Rather than replacing everything, we implemented solutions using the most appropriate resources:

Retained and trained existing household staff where skills aligned with needs
Leveraged our Zenith specialists for targeted training and system setup
Brought in qualified vendors for specialized services
Established new technology systems with proper configuration and training
