Seven processors that run while you sleep

ArkanPM ships with seven dedicated background processors — PM generation, overdue inspections, warranty expiry, escalation, booking no-shows, lease expiry, and contract expiry — backed by BullMQ and Redis for reliable, persistent execution.

Interface preview

Manual tracking of recurring operations is where revenue and compliance quietly leak

1Preventive maintenance schedules exist on paper, but work orders are only created when someone remembers — equipment fails because PMs were skipped.
2Inspection due dates pass quietly; by the time someone notices, the compliance violation is already recorded.
3Warranties expire without notice, turning claimable failures into out-of-pocket repairs.
4SLA breaches sit idle for days before escalating — there's no automatic rule that fires when thresholds are hit.
5Lease and contract expirations surprise teams because calendar reminders depend on individual vigilance instead of platform automation.

The Solution

Arkan Automated Background Operations Capabilities

PM Generator

Automatically creates work orders from preventive maintenance schedules when due dates arrive. Honors lead days for advance generation, inherits checklists from templates, and tracks generation counts per schedule.

Overdue Inspection Detector

Flags inspections that have passed their due dates as overdue and surfaces them on dashboards and via notifications. No inspection slips quietly past its deadline.

Warranty Expiry Monitor

Tracks warranty expiration dates and triggers notifications before coverage lapses. Asset owners get lead time to plan renewals or claim final repairs.

Escalation Engine

Executes escalation rules when SLA breaches or stale work orders are detected. Rules can notify users, reassign work, or bump escalation levels 1 through 3, scoped to specific buildings, categories, or priorities.

Booking No-Show Handler

Marks facility bookings as no-shows when check-in windows expire. Frees resources for other residents and contributes to no-show analytics for policy decisions.

Arkan

Traditional

Job infrastructure

BullMQ with Redis persistence

In-process cron without persistence

Processor coverage

Seven dedicated processors out of the box

One or two generic schedulers with manual rule authoring

Escalation handling

Rule-based engine with 3-level escalation

Email reminders only, no automatic action

Failure recovery

Retry with backoff and visible job logs

Silent failures discovered weeks later

Step-by-Step Process

5-Step Workflow

Lease Expiry Monitor

Tracks lease expirations and alerts stakeholders before renewal deadlines. Owner dashboard shows "Upcoming Lease Expirations (next 90 days)."

Contract Expiry Monitor

Monitors service contract end dates and triggers renewal workflows. Prevents contract lapses that would otherwise leave operations uncovered.

BullMQ + Redis backbone

All processors run on BullMQ with Redis persistence, ensuring jobs survive system restarts and execute reliably under load.

Observability and retry

Failed jobs are retried with backoff; operational visibility ensures no job goes missing silently.

Downstream effects

Processor outputs feed work orders, notifications, and dashboard KPIs automatically — no manual hand-off required.

How It Works

Simple 6-Step Process

Seven dedicated processors run on independent schedules backed by BullMQ job queues.

Redis provides persistence so queued jobs survive restarts and re-deployments.

The PM generator creates work orders from schedules; the overdue detector flags late inspections; warranty and contract monitors trigger advance notifications.

The escalation engine evaluates rules when SLA breaches are detected and acts automatically — notify, reassign, or bump level.

Booking no-shows and lease expirations generate their own notifications through the multichannel notification system.

All processor activity is logged and surfaces in dashboard KPIs for operational visibility.

Key Benefits

Measurable Impact

Background processors

7 processors

PM generation, overdue inspections, warranty expiry, escalation, booking no-shows, lease expiry, contract expiry.

Job reliability

BullMQ + Redis

Jobs persist across restarts and retry on failure — no silent job loss.

Escalation levels

3 levels

Level 1, 2, and 3 — configurable rules per building, category, or priority.

“Before, our PM compliance was whatever the team remembered to create. Now the platform generates the work orders, the escalation engine catches breaches, and our lease renewals get 90 days of advance notice. We stopped discovering problems after the fact.”
