AppWork Named 2026 PropTech Breakthrough Award Winner
RAMSEY, N.J., August 13, 2026 — AppWork, the maintenance operations platform built for property managers, technicians and residents, today announced it has been selected as winner of the “Property Maintenance Platform of the Year” award in the 6th annual PropTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by PropTech Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that evaluates and recognizes the world’s most innovative real estate technology companies and solutions.
AppWork brings the daily maintenance operation into one place, from work orders and inspections to unit turns and analytics, giving multifamily operators a single system for assigning, tracking and measuring the work. Because property teams, technicians and residents all work in that same environment, a request stays connected from first submission to finished job, with real-time updates along the way.
Residents submit and track requests through the platform and rate completed work orders, and those verified ratings feed directly into AppWork’s technician recognition and performance programs. Resident feedback becomes an active part of how maintenance teams are motivated and measured rather than a survey that sits in a file.
In July 2026, AppWork quadrupled its Top Maintenance Rating Program, to recognize 200 properties per quarter based on the highest percentage of 4 and 5 star work order ratings, with every active AppWork client automatically entered. The company also launched its first Technician Advisory Board: 10 maintenance technicians, supervisors and regional leaders who meet monthly with AppWork’s design and engineering team to help set priorities on the product roadmap.
“Maintenance is the single most frequent reason a resident interacts with their property team, and the quality of that interaction shapes how residents feel about where they live,” said Sean Landsberg, CEO and Co-Founder of AppWork. “We built the technician experience and the resident experience together, so a request, its status, and the feedback at the end all live in one system. This recognition tells us that design is working for the people who use it every day, on both sides of the work order.”
The PropTech sector is rapidly redefining how people buy, sell, manage and experience real estate, transforming one of the world’s largest asset classes. From AI-driven property insights and digital transaction platforms to smart building technologies and sustainability solutions, PropTech is delivering greater efficiency, transparency and sustainability.
The mission of the annual PropTech Breakthrough Awards program is to recognize the innovators transforming the global real estate landscape through technology. The program conducts a comprehensive analysis of the companies, technologies and solutions redefining how properties are bought, sold, managed and developed. From property management platforms and smart building solutions to AI-driven analytics, blockchain-based transactions and digital twin technology, these breakthrough innovations are enabling real estate companies to operate more efficiently, enhance user experiences and shape the future of how people interact with property.
“Multifamily teams have never had more software and rarely had it working together, and maintenance is where that fragmentation shows first,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of PropTech Breakthrough Awards. “AppWork stood out in our evaluation for closing the loop between the work order, the technician and the resident’s feedback, start to finish. Congratulations to AppWork on being named our 2026 Property Maintenance Platform of the Year.”
As multifamily operators put more weight on resident retention and the day-to-day service experience,
AppWork is continuing to invest across the platform, in technician engagement, resident
communication, and the analytics that connect maintenance performance to resident satisfaction across
its customer base.
