FixIt Campus – Fast and Organized Maintenance

FixIt Campus – Fast and Organized Maintenance

It is something that every student at some point has encountered: a broken bulb in the corridor, a tap leaking in the hostel, or a projector not functioning during the class. These issues are generally reported slowly as emails go ignored, WhatsApp messages aren't read, and, in many cases, the same complaint must be made repeatedly. This time wasted for both students and facilities personnel leads to issues not being addressed as quickly as they could be.

FixIt Campus is an easy-to-use app that allows maintenance reporting to be a fast process. Students can submit requests by uploading a photo and the exact location of the problem. The system automatically labels the urgency of each one, with higher-priority problems receiving immediate attention. These requests are then delivered directly to the facilities team. Students can follow the progress of their request in real-time, monitoring its status much like a food delivery order. 

Solving the problem - 

  • Students no longer waste time chasing repairs: FixIt Campus gives them a direct way to report issues and track progress. 
  • Facilities staff get clarity instead of confusion: Requests are prioritised automatically, reducing duplicate complaints and helping them resolve the issues more efficiently. 
  • Administrators gain valuable insights: Data from FixIt highlights recurring problem areas, enabling smarter planning and better resource allocation. 

How It Works - 

  1. Submit Request: Students take a photo, select the exact location, and describe the issue. 
  2. Auto-Priority Tagging: The system assigns urgency based on the number of requests on the same issue. 
  3. Real-Time Tracking: Students can see the progress of their request and an estimated time of when the problem will be fixed. 
  4. Analytics Dashboard: Facilities staff and administrators view hotspots, recurring issues, and performance metrics.

Who Benefits? 

  • Students: Faster fixes and repairs based on urgency.
  • Facilities staff: Clearer priorities, less confusion and no repeated reports. 
  • Administration: Data-driven insights to identify problem areas, which result in better infrastructure.

  • One drawback of FixIt Campus is that it depends on students actually using the app and having good internet all the time, which lets be real on our campus is not guaranteed. One thing to think about is if people don’t bother reporting or the Wi-Fi is down, the whole system might not work as well as it’s supposed to.
  • This is as an excellent tool for hostellers. Perhaps you could add features like putting students with highest priority emergencies directly in contact with technicians approved by admin
  • This is a well-defined solution with clear benefits for all stakeholders; consider adding a brief competitive analysis to highlight its unique edge.
    The concept is strong, but a one-sentence mission statement at the start would make the core value proposition even more impactful.
  • This is a smart and practical solution — it takes something as annoying as chasing repairs and turns it into a smooth, trackable process. The real-time tracking and auto-priority tagging are game changers, not just for students but also for facilities staff. The analytics feature is a clever touch too; it elevates FixIt Campus from just a reporting tool to a system that can actively improve infrastructure planning.
  • This idea would definitely make campus maintenance more efficient and student-friendly! The real-time tracking and analytics dashboard are strong features. One thing to consider: what if facilities staff are slow to update the system or don’t resolve issues quickly—how will accountability be enforced? Also, would it need strong buy-in from campus admins to make sure it’s actually used and not ignored like email or WhatsApp? Addressing these could take the solution further.
  • I like how FixIt Campus simplifies reporting with photos and locations, while also giving students real-time tracking. It’s a smart example of how small inefficiencies can be solved with technology to improve everyday campus life.
  • This idea is such need right now , especially with the slow maintenance and irregular checkups around campus. The highlight of this idea is the priority order for the reports based on urgency, as well as real time tracking feature. A fantastic initiative over-all.
  • Will help a lot of campuses to maintain their standards. Can be taken global
  • Really like the idea of FixIt Campus. A simple way to report and track maintenance issues can save so much time and make campus life much smoother for everyone.
  • Excellent idea for hosteller students as it can be miserable when there are maintenance issues. This is a very efficient idea.
