Work orders are typically used primarily by vacation rental property managers to manage and track maintenance tasks across large numbers of properties. Additionally, the expense of those tasks is many times passed on to the property owner via the monthly owner statement. Lodgix has an entire subsystem that allows work orders to be created, edited, updated and ultimately closed. The property manager can allocate the expense and assign it to a property owner where the work order expense will be itemized and place on the owner statement.
