Vendor Selection
Invicta Property Management adopts a multi-faceted approach to vendor selection and interaction, divided into two main parts:
Part 1: Selection of Vendors
Rapport and Customer Feedback: Invicta prioritizes vendors who have established a good rapport and have positive customer feedback. This approach helps ensure that the vendors are reputable and reliable.
Compliance Requirements:
W-9 Form Submission: Vendors must submit a W-9 form, which is essential for tax purposes.
Proof of Licensure: Vendors need to provide evidence of their professional licensure, ensuring that they are qualified and authorized to perform the required services.
Certificate of Insurance: This requirement ensures that the vendors have adequate insurance coverage, which is crucial for mitigating risks associated with property maintenance and repairs.
Part 2: Interaction with Vendors through Invicta's Operations Team
Oversight by Operations Team: The operations team at Invicta oversees all maintenance aspects of the properties, ensuring consistent quality and efficiency.
Local Sourcing for Better Logistics and Knowledge: Vendors are sourced locally, which offers two main benefits:
Improved logistics due to proximity.
Enhanced understanding of the specific neighborhoods, leading to better service delivery.
Addressing Vendor Challenges: Recognizing that vendors may face certain challenges such as incomplete information, tenant-relations issues, or cleanliness standards, Invicta has specific measures in place:
Assignment of Work Orders to Operators: Each work order is assigned to an Invicta Operator.
Roles of Operators: These Operators are responsible for:
Overseeing the work carried out by vendors.
Ensuring the quality of service.
Maintaining tenant satisfaction.
Securing necessary documentation post-service.
Quality Control and Tenant Satisfaction: The involvement of Operators is key to maintaining high standards of quality and ensuring tenant satisfaction.
This structured approach helps Invicta Property Management maintain a high-quality service standard across its property portfolio, leveraging local expertise and stringent compliance, while also addressing potential challenges in vendor operations.
