🔧 The Challenge
A commercial real estate portfolio of 78 properties across 6 states had no centralized vendor management. The owner relied on 40+ individual vendors with no performance tracking, inconsistent pricing, and no quality control. Maintenance costs were 40% above market average, and quality was inconsistent across the portfolio.
💡 Our Solution
Auxi audited all 40 existing vendors, consolidating to 22 pre-qualified vendors who met standardized vetting requirements. A performance-based routing system was implemented, prioritizing Tier 1 vendors with the highest quality and cost-effectiveness. Standardized rate cards were established for all common services, and automated work order dispatch was deployed through the Auxi platform.
✅ The Outcome
Vendor count was consolidated from 40 to 22 pre-qualified vendors. Maintenance costs dropped 31% ($540,000 annually). Average response time improved from 72 hours to 18 hours. Quality scores improved from 3.2 to 4.6 out of 5.0.

Optimizing Vendor Ecosystem Reduces Annual Maintenance Costs
By consolidating from 40 vendors to 22 pre-qualified partners, the portfolio eliminated pricing fragmentation and administrative overhead. This streamlined strategy resulted in a significant 31% reduction in total maintenance expenditures across the 78 properties.
Automated Dispatch Significantly Accelerates Service Response Times
Implementing a performance-based routing system and automated work orders transformed the service lifecycle. Average response times decreased from 72 hours to just 18 hours, ensuring critical property maintenance issues are addressed four times faster.
Standardized Vetting Elevates Portfolio Wide Quality Performance
Transitioning to a pre-qualified vendor network with standardized rate cards allows for consistent quality monitoring across multi-state operations. Organizations should prioritize performance-based metrics over local fragmentation to drive measurable improvements in service reliability.
