UAE-based property developer MAG Lifestyle Development, which is a part of MAG Group Holding, has launched a new Uber-style home maintenance tracking app, called MAG FM, in co-ordination with home maintenance company Hitches & Glitches. 

 

The MAG-branded smart technology platform will enable owners and tenants living in all MAG developments, to request home maintenance services, allowing customers to browse a wide range of home maintenance packages, or indeed customise their own package specific to their individual needs. 

 

App-users can also book and make payments via the smart platform through Google and Apple Pay for any parts or service carried out in their home, offering a quick and hassle-free way to pay online, said the developer.

 

Initially, the online services will be launched for residents living in MAG5 Boulevard in Dubai South and then rolled-out across all MAG developments throughout Dubai.

 

Senior Executive Vice Chairman Talal Al Gaddah said: "MAG 5 Boulevard is an affordable, contemporary development with a real community feel and an accent on the modern lifestyle."

 

"Therefore, it seemed only natural for us to launch a reliable, convenient, and efficient, technology-led home maintenance solution for the residents there, before expanding the maintenance service to our other developments," he stated. 

 

Situated next to Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai World Central, MAG 5 Boulevard offers exceptional residential community living, consisting of seven buildings featuring 1,452  units comprising studios, one, two, and three-bedroom apartments.

 

The project is surrounded by a variety of facilities such as jogging and cycling tracks, playgrounds for children, community and retail centres. This walkable community overlooks the ‘Greenbelt’ the UAE’s largest linear network of parks and green spaces.

 

To deliver the home maintenance services, MAG Lifestyle Development has signed a partnership agreement with Hitches & Glitches, stated the Dubai developer. 

 

Hitches & Glitches' Director Kelvin Varghese said: "One of the other major benefits of this app is that once tenants and owners living in MAG5 and eventually in all MAG developments, have booked online, they can track our technicians in real-time, Uber-style, through a link to Google Maps, so they will know their location and their exact arrival time." 

 

It boasts an experienced and professional team of over 100 technicians, who will cover a comprehensive range of maintenance requests and repairs, from electrical and plumbing works to water tank cleaning, air conditioning and swimming pool maintenance, smart home product repairs and updates, gardening, cleaning, and general handyman jobs, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
