Grounded in a real business, still a work sample

The third visit to the same machine should not look like the first

FMB Laundry's own site offers two ways to report a broken washer or dryer: a one-way Service Request form and the service@fmblaundry.com inbox listed on its FAQ page. Neither returns a ticket number or a status a property manager can check. FMB's own BBB complaint file (11 complaints over 3 years, all answered or resolved) shows the actual gap is not that requests go unanswered, it's that a property or resident contact gets no visible update while a case drags on, and has to re-explain the same problem from scratch on every call. This example adds a stage-tracked ticket, an overdue flag, and a repeat-visit counter behind the existing form and inbox, without touching or replacing the separate Clothesline Mobile payment and machine-availability app FMB already sells.

Everything below is fictional sample data. Property names, tickets, and notes are illustrative, not FMB Laundry's real customers or records. This independent work sample is not affiliated with or endorsed by FMB Laundry, Inc.

Log a new ticket

In a real build, this logs automatically the moment the Service Request form or the service@ inbox receives a message, instead of someone re-typing it here.

Open tickets, worst first

Check the status of a service ticket

The BBB record shows property contacts, not just residents, chasing FMB for status on an open case. This gives a property manager a way to check without another call to the office.

Try FMB-1001, FMB-1002, FMB-1003 or FMB-1004 from the dispatch view's sample queue.

How this maps to FMB Laundry specifically

Stages match the offer: received, dispatched, visited, resolved and verified. The overdue window shown here (5 days sitting in one stage) is illustrative; FMB's own BBB record shows gaps running weeks to months, so the real cutoff would be set with FMB's dispatch team, not guessed.
Repeat-visit counter is tuned to the documented pattern. At least two of FMB's 11 BBB complaints describe a machine needing multiple service calls without a resolved fix. The FMB-1001 sample ticket below models that: three visits logged, the ticket stays one ticket instead of restarting, and it surfaces at the top of the queue once it crosses that count.
Notifications here are a log entry only, nothing is actually sent. A real build would text or email the property contact at each stage change through FMB's existing service email, addressing the specific "no one told me anything" pattern in the complaint file, without requiring FMB to adopt a new communication channel.
Deliberately out of scope: Clothesline Mobile / QuickView. Those are FMB's existing resident-payment and owner-facing uptime tools, confirmed via their own product pages. This tracker sits behind the separate Service Request form and service@ inbox and does not duplicate or touch that system.
