Please note that access to Fixflo's Contractor Marketplace is a paid feature
Fixflo integrates with Help me Fix so that tenants can report maintenance issues and be directed straight to the suppliers at Help me Fix, providing an online connection to experienced professionals to diagnose - or even resolve - maintenance issues without a site visit.
This operates through a video-call triaging software operated by vetted, expert suppliers, allowing you to diagnose the issue effectively so that only one physical call-out is needed. For more information on how the integration works, please click here.
