How it works

From sign-up to fully automated in three steps

Tendr integrates with your existing platform and takes over the ongoing homeowner relationship — so your team doesn't have to.

01

Connect your homeowners

Register homeowners via a simple webhook API or bulk CSV import. Each one is automatically tied to your company code, your warranty plan, and your dedicated phone number.

Supports thousands of users at import time with rate-limited background processing.

02

Tendr handles onboarding

Our AI texts each homeowner and gathers their complete home profile through natural conversation — roof type, HVAC units, plumbing, appliances, pool details, and more.

Property data is auto-populated from ATTOM when available, so homeowners are never asked what the system already knows.

03

Automated value, forever

Tendr sends personalized maintenance reminders, answers warranty questions grounded in your actual policy documents, and helps homeowners open claims — all automatically, over SMS.

Every message is generated by AI and personalized to the homeowner's specific home, not sent from a generic template.

Platform features

Everything your homeowners need. Nothing they don't.

Tendr handles the full homeowner lifecycle — from first text to ongoing care — so your team can focus on what matters.

Conversational Onboarding

No forms, no portals. Tendr's AI collects a complete home profile through a natural SMS conversation. Homeowners answer in plain English — Tendr handles the parsing.

Proactive Maintenance Reminders

30+ reminder types timed to each homeowner's actual appliances and service history. Every message is personalized by AI and includes a direct link to purchase the part — so homeowners can act on it immediately.

Instant Warranty Answers

Upload your warranty docs once. Tendr uses semantic search to find the relevant coverage sections and answers homeowner questions — grounded in your actual policy language, never fabricated.

Built for Multiple Companies

Every warranty company gets their own dedicated phone number, isolated user data, branded messaging, and independent usage metrics. One platform, built to scale.

SMS Compliance Built In

STOP, START, and HELP keywords are handled automatically and correctly. Opted-out users are never contacted. TCPA compliance is a feature, not an afterthought.

Billing & Usage Insights

Monthly snapshots of active users, new onboards, reminders sent, and conversations — per warranty company. Re-runnable for corrections and backfills.

For your customers

A home assistant experience they'll actually use

Homeowners don't need to download anything, create an account, or remember a password. Tendr lives in the texting app they already use every day.

Natural language, not a chatbot

Homeowners reply in plain English. "My furnace is making a noise" works just as well as any form ever could. Tendr understands context and follows up intelligently.

Proactive reminders before things break

Tendr tracks each homeowner's actual appliances and sends reminders timed to their specific equipment — not a generic calendar. The right nudge at the right time.

Warranty answers in seconds

Instead of digging through a PDF, homeowners text a question and get a plain-English answer grounded in their actual warranty coverage. No hold music. No ticket.

Buy the part right from the reminder

When a reminder arrives — say, to change the air filter — it includes a link to purchase the right part immediately. No searching, no second-guessing the size or model.

Photo support for appliance labels

Snap a photo of a water heater label or HVAC nameplate and send it. Tendr reads it, extracts the relevant data, and asks follow-ups for anything it can't make out.

Example conversations

Armadillo Home Warranty
Is my AC covered if the compressor dies?
Yes — your Gold Plan covers the compressor, fan motor, and refrigerant recharge on your primary cooling unit. Exclusions apply if the failure is due to lack of maintenance. Want me to help you open a claim?
Armadillo Home Warranty
When did I last change my HVAC filter?
Based on your records, you last changed the filter on your Carrier unit upstairs about 78 days ago. You're getting close to the 90-day mark — want me to add a reminder?

Pricing

You only pay for users who are actually using it

Tendr is priced per active user, per month. If a homeowner completes onboarding and is actively engaged, they count. Inactive or unresponsive users don't.

Pay per active user

You only pay for homeowners who are actively using the platform — not your total imported list.

Scales with your business

As your homeowner base grows, your costs grow with it — proportionally and predictably.

Everything included

All features — onboarding, reminders, warranty Q&A, compliance, and usage reporting — are included for every active user.
