Condominium Ticketing: What It Is and How It Works

Where a Ticket Originates

A request can arrive via WhatsApp, email, phone (recorded by an operator), portal or app, service provider, or internal studio audit. The channel is merely the entry point. The ticket is the operational container.

Minimum Information Required

A useful ticket should contain: identified sender, condominium and area, brief subject line, description, category, priority, attachments, internal responsible party, service provider involved, status, and history.

The Complete Cycle

1. Receipt: the unit owner reports through the official channel
2. Identification: the request is associated with the person and building
3. Classification: category and priority
4. Assignment: staff member or service provider receives the task
5. Execution and updates: the technician intervenes and documents
6. Verification and closure: the management office checks the outcome

Why Ticketing Reduces Phone Calls

Many phone calls aren't new requests. They're inquiries about the status of a previous request. When status is updated and communicated, a portion of these follow-ups disappears.

Ticketing Doesn't Mean Rigidity

A good system collects information with minimum friction and only asks for what's missing. WhatsApp can be an effective interface: it's already familiar.

Ticketing and Accounting Software Are Not the Same Thing

Accounting software manages budgets, installments, taxes, and meetings. Ticketing manages requests, operational communications, responsibilities, and repairs. They can coexist or integrate.

How to Evaluate a Ticketing System

1. how much time it takes to open a request;
2. how photos and voice messages are handled;
3. who can change priority and status;
4. how the service provider works with it;
5. whether an exportable history exists;
6. how data is protected;
7. whether the unit owner must register or download an app;
8. how it integrates with existing software.
