TalkBeam for Property management & facilities

Push-to-talk for maintenance and facilities teams, across every property

TalkBeam is a push-to-talk walkie-talkie app that connects property managers, maintenance techs, porters and security across every building you manage, with a channel per property, lone-worker check-ins and a searchable record of every call.

CH 01The problem

Where radios fail across a property portfolio

A radio at one building doesn’t reach the tech at the next one, and the property manager’s phone rings all day.

  1. One radio system per building

    Each property has its own radios, so a regional manager can’t reach the team at the next building.

    With TalkBeam

    One app with a channel per property. Regional managers join all of them.

    • Unlimited company channels
  2. Emergency work orders

    A burst pipe needs the closest tech right now, not after three phone calls.

    With TalkBeam

    An all-call reaches every tech at once, and the live map shows who’s nearest.

    • Priority talk & all-call
    • Live team map
  3. Techs alone on roofs and in mechanical rooms

    Maintenance often works alone, in places nobody walks past.

    With TalkBeam

    Lone-worker check-ins and man-down detection alert a supervisor if someone stops answering.

    • Lone-worker check-insEnterprise
    • Crash & man-down detectionEnterprise
  4. Basements and garages

    Radios cut out below grade, right where the boilers and valves are.

    With TalkBeam

    TalkBeam uses the building’s Wi-Fi or cellular data. Test the below-grade spots during your trial and add Wi-Fi where it’s missing.

    • Unlimited company channels
    • Works with the phone locked
  5. Storm prep across properties

    Getting every building ready for a storm means a round of calls.

    With TalkBeam

    Automated broadcasts read severe weather warnings for each property aloud on its channel.

    • Automated safety broadcastsEnterprise
  6. What was promised to the resident?

    Nobody remembers who said the plumber would come at ten.

    With TalkBeam

    Every transmission becomes searchable, time-stamped text.

    • Searchable transcripts

CH 02A day on TalkBeam

A burst pipe on a Sunday morning

A property management company with 14 residential buildings runs maintenance and concierge channels on TalkBeam Teams.

On Monday the property manager searches “4B” and sends the owner a time-stamped account for the insurance claim.

Illustrative scenario. People, places and times are made up; the features are real.

CH 02 · MAINTENANCETranscript
  1. CONCIERGE · ELM ST

    Water coming through the ceiling in 4B at Elm Street. Resident says it’s from upstairs.

  2. MAINT LEAD All-call

    Closest tech to Elm Street? Likely a burst pipe in 5B.

  3. ANDRE

    Andre, I’m at Maple, five minutes away. On my way.

  4. ANDRE

    Water is shut off at the 5B valve. Need a dehumidifier and a plumber.

  5. MAINT LEAD Direct

    Andre, the plumber is booked for 10. Can you stay until he arrives?

  6. ANDRE

    Staying.

CH 03What you get

What facilities teams get on TalkBeam

Everything a two-way radio does, on the phone, headset or vehicle your people already have, plus the things a radio never could.

  • Unlimited company channels

    A channel per crew, site, shift or job, and the people who need each one. Supervisors can sit on all of them.

  • Live team map

    See everyone who’s sharing their location on one map, and who’s talking right now.

  • Priority talk & all-call

    Supervisors cut through the chatter mid-sentence, or reach every channel at once with one hold.

  • Direct talk

    Private one-to-one talk for the conversation that shouldn’t go to the whole channel, still kept in company transcripts.

  • Lone-worker check-ins Enterprise

    People working alone get an “Are you OK?” check-in on your schedule. A missed check-in escalates to a supervisor.

  • Crash & man-down detection Enterprise

    When a phone detects a crash or a fall with no movement and nobody answers “Are you OK?”, supervisors get an alert with the location.

  • Searchable transcripts

    Every transmission becomes text with a time and a name, so anyone can scroll back or search what was said.

  • Automated safety broadcasts Enterprise

    Severe weather warnings, thunderstorms, earthquakes, air quality and extreme heat near your sites or crews, read aloud on your channels automatically.

Features marked Enterprise are part of the Enterprise plan. TalkBeam isn’t an emergency service and doesn’t contact 911.

CH 06FAQ

Property management & facilities: questions, answered

Can TalkBeam replace our building radios?

For most property teams, yes. Push-to-talk runs over Wi-Fi and cellular data, so a tech at one building can talk to a manager at another. Check below-grade spaces during your trial.

Can we separate channels by property?

Yes. Create a channel for each building or site, add the people who work there, and give managers access to all of them.

What about basements and parking garages?

TalkBeam needs Wi-Fi or cellular data. If a basement has neither, phones can’t talk there until they reconnect, so add Wi-Fi to those spaces or keep a radio for them.

Can vendors and contractors join for a job?

Yes. Add them from the company console, put them on the channels they need, and remove them when the job is done.

Can we keep a record for insurance claims?

Every transmission is transcribed with the time and the speaker. Enterprise adds retention settings and CSV export.

What does it cost?

Teams is $8 per person per month, or $6 billed yearly, for 5 to 50 people. Enterprise is $15 per person per month billed yearly, from 25 people.
