Fault reporting software for facility maintenance — one entry point

FixPoint is fault reporting and resolution software for facility maintenance. Report a fault by a phone call (AI assistant) or a web form — no app, no account — and AI routes it to the right contractor. When no one responds, the system escalates from email to SMS to AI phone calls — until it's fixed. It's built for retail, manufacturing, hotels and commercial buildings, across one site or many.

Reporting: call or form

Call the AI assistant or fill in a web form. The reporter needs no app.

AI routing

AI reviews the fault and sends it to the right subcontractor automatically.

Multi-channel escalation

No answer? Email → SMS → AI phone call → manager alert. Nothing waits.

Status & response times

See every fault's status, time-to-fix and quality of work at a glance.

Knowledge base

Every resolved fault is saved, so recurring issues are fixed faster next time.

14 days free

Start free for 14 days with 5 test AI calls. No credit card required.

Quick answers

Can I report a fault by phone?

Yes. An ordinary phone call is answered by an AI assistant that records the fault, so anyone can report an issue by voice.

Does the reporter need an app?

No. The person reporting a fault needs no app and no account — a phone call or a web form is enough.

What if the contractor doesn't respond?

FixPoint escalates automatically: email → SMS → AI phone call → an alert to the manager who ordered the repair.

Does it work across sites?

Yes. FixPoint handles a single location or many, so chains and facility managers track every site from one place.

What's measured?

Time-to-fix and the quality of work delivered by each contractor, so performance can be compared objectively.

How much is it?

From €49 per month, with a 14-day free trial that includes 5 test AI calls and needs no card.

Is it GDPR compliant?

Yes. FixPoint is designed to be GDPR compliant and processes reporting data in line with data-protection rules.

The problem

Why you need one system for fault reporting

Most facilities still report faults across three or four disconnected channels: a shared spreadsheet, a WhatsApp group, an email chain and a stack of phone calls. Nobody owns the fault, requests get lost, and no one can say who was contacted or how long a repair actually took. When something breaks, the clock starts — and scattered tools make it slower.

Fault reporting software puts every issue in one place. FixPoint captures the report, routes it to the right contractor, chases a response and records the outcome — so a fault can't quietly fall through the cracks.

  • One entry point instead of spreadsheets, WhatsApp and calls
  • Every fault has an owner, a status and a timestamp
  • Automatic follow-up instead of manual chasing
  • A full record of who was contacted, when and by which channel
  • Objective data on response times and work quality

The workflow

How FixPoint works in four steps

From a reported fault to a resolved job recorded in the knowledge base — automatic at every step.

1. Report the fault

A user reports a fault by an ordinary phone call answered by an AI assistant, or by filling in a web form that opens in the browser. The reporter needs no app and no account.

2. AI reviews and routes

AI analyses the fault and automatically emails a request to the right subcontractor, then records whether the subcontractor accepted the job.

3. Escalate until answered

If there's no response, FixPoint escalates from email to SMS to an AI phone call to the contractor, and finally notifies the manager who ordered the repair.

4. Resolve and learn

FixPoint records time-to-fix and quality of work, then saves the resolved fault to the knowledge base for recurring issues.

Reporting channels

Report by a phone call or a web form

Whoever spots the fault should be able to report it in seconds — with no app, no login and no training. FixPoint offers two ways in.

Phone call (AI assistant)

Prefer to talk? An ordinary phone call is answered by an AI assistant that takes down the fault and starts the process by voice. No smartphone, app or account needed — perfect for anyone on the move.

Web form (portal)

Staff open a saved link and report a fault in writing — pick the location, describe the issue, done. The form opens straight in the browser on any phone or computer, with no app and no account.

Automation

AI routing and multi-channel escalations

The moment a fault comes in, AI reads it, decides which subcontractor should handle it, and sends the request by email — then records whether the contractor accepted. You don't have to know who to call or dig through a contact list.

If there's no answer, FixPoint doesn't stop. It escalates through channels automatically until someone takes ownership, and it keeps a full log of every attempt so nothing is left unresolved.

  • AI routing sends each fault to the right contractor
  • Acceptance is recorded — you always know if the job was taken
  • Escalations run email → SMS → AI phone call → manager
  • Every contact attempt is logged with a timestamp

Escalation ladder

What happens when a contractor doesn't respond:

1 Email request to the assigned contractor

2 SMS reminder if there's no reply

3 AI phone call to the contractor

4 Alert to the manager who ordered the repair

Comparison

FixPoint or a classic CMMS?

A traditional CMMS is built around internal maintenance teams, asset registers and preventive schedules. FixPoint is built around getting a reported fault to an external contractor quickly and keeping it moving until it's fixed. Many teams use both — but if your priority is fast reporting and reliable follow-up with outside contractors, FixPoint is the more direct fit.

Classic CMMS FixPoint
Main focus Internal team & asset management Reporting & resolving with contractors
Report by phone call No Yes — AI assistant
AI routing No Yes
Auto escalation to a call No Yes
Contractor response times Limited Yes — measured

FAQ

Fault reporting software is a single system for reporting facility maintenance faults and driving them to resolution. Instead of spreadsheets, WhatsApp messages and phone calls, every fault enters one place, is routed to the right contractor, tracked and recorded.

Can I report a fault by phone?

Yes. An ordinary phone call is answered by an AI assistant that takes down the fault, so anyone can report an issue by voice without opening an app or logging in.
