Repairs tool vs full operating system

Fixflo solved a real problem well: giving tenants a structured way to report repairs with diagnosis trees, and giving agents a shared inbox to manage them. The reporting interface, multi-language support and certificate tracking work. Many agencies love it.

SortX does not just receive the repair. AI agents triage it, classify priority with statutory clocks, match contractors by trade, postcode, credentials and historical performance, collect quotes, get landlord approval, verify the invoice against the quote and work order, and detect recurring patterns across the portfolio.

Fixflo is the front door. SortX is the front door, the hallway and every room behind it — plus sales, lettings and accounting. Agencies that want a clean repairs intake tool can use Fixflo. Agencies that want the entire repair lifecycle automated, inside a full operating system, use SortX.

Many agencies run Fixflo as the tenant-facing reporting layer and SortX as the operating system behind it. The integration works both ways.
