The Problem:

Maria kept her home tidy, but something always felt off. Dust returned quickly, odors lingered, and her allergies worsened.

She hired alpaca-crew for an AI-powered property checkup.

What We Found:

• Allergen-heavy dust on fans, baseboards, and blinds
• Pet dander deep in rugs and furniture
• Grease buildup behind the oven feeding odor and pest risk
• Moisture along windows, an early sign of humidity damage

Our Solution:

We designed a custom plan using AI to track her home’s condition over time. Our system flagged risks, adjusted her cleaning schedule, and sent proactive care alerts.

6 Months Later:

• A new pet added? AI flagged increased dander + recommended a filter change
• Subtle window moisture returned? We referred waterproofing early, before mold set in

Financial Impact:

• Standard cleaners: ~$150/visit, no insight into hidden problems
• alpaca-crew: $225/visit minimum, including advanced AI diagnostics + maintenance alerts
• Result: Avoided ~$2,000+ in water damage, improved air quality, and peace of mind

Maria’s Outcome:

Her home is cleaner, healthier, and smarter, guided by intelligent checkups that evolve with her lifestyle.

The Problem:

Despite daily janitorial service, employees reported headaches, stale air, and visible buildup.

The company turned to alpaca-crew for a deep, AI-powered assessment.

What We Found:

• Dust choking ceiling vents and airflow
• Coffee stains and grime in overlooked corners
• Hidden dust beneath desks and around fixtures
• HVAC inefficiencies caused by dirty returns

Our Solution:

AI mapped high-risk areas and optimized a cleaning plan with targeted frequency and reminders for mechanical servicing.

Within Weeks:

• Air quality complaints disappeared
• Productivity improved
• Maintenance costs dropped thanks to early HVAC intervention

Financial Impact:

• Traditional cleaning service: $50,000/year (surface-level)
• alpaca-crew property care: $60,000/year (includes AI tracking + problem resolution)
• Value Delivered: Avoided over $25,000 in HVAC and structural repairs, reduced sick days by 40%, improved compliance, and boosted air quality and comfort. 

Executive Outcome:

By preventing major issues, reducing sick days, and supporting compliance, alpaca-crew delivered a lower total cost despite the higher service rate.
