EVO

What EVO is

EVO connects tenants and landlords with tradespeople for property management, maintenance, and repairs. Tenants can report issues through the EVO Living App, which also stores tenancy documents and provides property-specific FAQs and user guides. Landlords and property managers can use a dashboard to follow jobs in real time and review service history, while tradespeople use a separate app to accept jobs and communicate progress. The service includes work order and vendor management, inspection workflows, a tenant request portal, and mobile access. EVO says its Property Intelligence draws on independent data providers to describe a property's physical features and history. An API and prebuilt integrations connect other apps. Its 24/7 Safe & Secure Response service assigns qualifying emergencies to the nearest accredited tradesperson. EVO states that interactions use SSL/TLS and encryption, passwords are salted and hashed, and backups include daily incremental plus full weekly and monthly copies. Listed plans include Landlord Bronze at £4.99 a month, billed annually, and Bronze at £8.99 a month, billed annually in advance. The Landlord Bronze plan has a 12-month minimum term; Gold requires a minimum two-year agreement.
