For Vern and the Wonderland Properties team

Wonderland Connect: what we built

Your prototype, made real. One app for every maintenance job across your buildings: report it, send the right person, and follow every step to fixed, with proof along the way. In Wonderland red and blue, on every phone in the team.

How your team gets in

The screens on this page come straight from the app and show sample data from our own checks, not your buildings.

1 Sign in

Sign in with an email code

Each person types their work email and gets a 6-digit code. Type it in and you are in. No passwords to remember, share or reset.

Invite only. An email that is not on the team list is turned away by the database itself.
The code works once, for a short while.
Works on any phone or computer, with no app store needed.

Sign-in screen: the Wonderland W, Wonderland Connect, a work email box and the Send my code button — Sign in

Code screen: we sent a 6-digit code, a box for the code and the Sign in button — Type the code

2 Home and regions

The whole picture at a glance

Open the app and see what matters this morning: open jobs, critical, overdue and done this month, what is due today, and who on the team is free right now. Home refreshes on its own every 30 seconds.

Your three regions: Cape Town, Johannesburg and George. Every list follows the region you pick.
Critical and overdue first, then running late and recent jobs.
Technicians see their own jobs first, plus the jobs up for grabs.
Get started steps until the first building, invite and job are in.

Home screen: date, Cape Town region chip, Good evening greeting, eight count tiles, Today, Get started and Critical and overdue — Home

3 Report an issue

Snap it, say it, done

Take photos with the camera or pick them from the gallery, choose the building and the unit or area, the trade and how urgent it is. The target date follows the priority, and the app suggests the best fit by skill and workload.

Duplicate warning. If the same problem is already open there, the app says so before it is logged twice.
Photos are shrunk on the phone, so they send quickly on mobile data.
Rather say it? Tap the microphone on the keyboard and speak.
Assign it to someone, or leave it in the pool for the team.

Report issue form: Photo and Gallery, issue title, property, unit or area, specific location and description — Report an issue

The form further down: a yellow warning that there are already open jobs here, priority buttons and who will handle it — Duplicate warning

4 The job journey

Every job, step by step, with proof

Each job moves through the same clear steps, and every step is stamped with who did it and when. You and the boss can follow the play-by-play without a single phone call.

Only the person on the job moves it forward. Managers can reassign.
Pause it while waiting for parts or access, reopen it if the problem comes back, or cancel it with a reason.
Call buttons, directions to the building and a share button on every job.

Quick chips: All, Open, Mine, Unassigned, Critical, Overdue, Running late and Done.
Search, filter by building, person and trade, and sort by newest or priority.

7 Team, roles and invites

The right access for each person

Invite people one at a time or a whole list at once. Each person gets a role and their regions, and the app only lets them see and do what that role allows.

Executive: sees every region, reports and comments.
Maintenance manager: runs properties, jobs and the team in their regions.
Office coordinator: logs and assigns jobs.
Technician: own jobs and the unassigned pool in their regions.
Viewer: read only.
Change a role, regions or skills at any time. Switch someone off and they see nothing more. Nothing is ever deleted.

Invite several at once: one person per line, then the role — Invite several at once

On a computer too

The same app opens on a laptop or an office computer, with a side menu and more room for lists and the board. On a phone it can sit on the home screen and open full screen, like any other app.

Built from your prototype

Your screens, made real

Vern, your prototype was our blueprint. We kept your layout, your words and your flow, and built them on a real foundation, so the whole team works from the same live picture.

What we kept

The parts that already worked, in your words.

The five tabs along the bottom, and Home with its eight tiles, the region chip and "Good evening".
"Snap it, say it, done" for reporting an issue.
One-tap arrival times and "Let the team know".
The play-by-play timeline, before and after photos, and the job chat.
Adding a new building quickly, for the new building every week.

What we added

What it takes to run it with the whole team.

Roles and regions. Each person sees and does what their role allows, in their own regions.
One live database. Everyone sees the same jobs at the same moment, on any phone or computer. Nothing lives on one handset.
Proof at each step. Who did what and when, an arrival check at the building, and an after photo and a note before a job counts as fixed.
Invite-only sign-in. A 6-digit code by email, no passwords. Nobody gets in without an invite.
Your data in its own database, in London. Wonderland's jobs, photos and people are kept apart from everyone else's, on secure servers.
Units, quickly. Add a whole floor of units in one go, so nothing gets stuck without a unit number.

Coming next

What comes in the next phase

The places for these are already kept in the app, so they slot in without changing how the team works.

Inspections

Airbnb pre-arrival checks so every guest walks into a five-star unit, and tenant entry and exit, room by room with photos, signed on the phone.

Quotes

Ask contractors for a quote on a job, compare what comes back and approve it in the app.

Insights and the monthly PDF report

Jobs closed, response times and on time, per building and per person, with the month's report sent to the boss as a PDF.

WhatsApp updates

Job assigned, on my way and fixed, straight to WhatsApp, with buttons to answer from the message.

Contractor links

A secure link per job for outside contractors: they see only that job and update it with photos, no app needed.

Tenant QR

A QR poster in each building opens a simple form, so tenants can report a problem themselves.

Inspections tab with Airbnb pre-arrival and Tenant entry and exit, both marked coming in the next phase — The Inspections tab, keeping its place
