A school or university hosts people's most precious thing: their children. A broken AC in a summer classroom isn't an annoyance — it's an educational problem; an emergency door that won't open isn't a note — it's a hazard. Meanwhile maintenance budgets are tight, teams are small, and any complex system will be abandoned within a week. What's needed: a process extremely simple for its users, extremely disciplined in its records.
A teacher won't log into a system and fill an eight-field form — they'll call the supervisor, or stay silent until the problem escalates. The right channel: a WhatsApp number or QR code in every classroom and facility. The teacher sends an ordinary message — "room 12 AC not cooling" — and it automatically becomes a numbered work order on the right location, with a notification back when fixed. No accounts, no training, no forms.
Fire extinguishers, alarm systems, emergency exits, playgrounds and equipment, chemistry labs — all need scheduled inspection rounds with photo checklists. The inspector receives their round as a WhatsApp link and documents every item with a photo and timestamp; a failed item opens a work order instantly. When any supervising authority visits, the inspection record is complete and ready in one click — no paper-gathering the night before.
Many schools run maintenance with one supervisor, two technicians and external contractors. That's exactly where a system matters most: routing is automatic, reminders are automatic, and the technician — whatever their language — receives jobs over WhatsApp and closes them with photos, while the supervisor sees everything on one screen instead of chasing everyone.
MRFQ is a Saudi platform well-suited to educational facilities: WhatsApp reporting with no accounts for teachers, photo-documented safety inspections, holiday maintenance planning, and ready reports for management and supervising authorities — Arabic-first and PDPL-aligned.

A WhatsApp number or QR code in every classroom: an ordinary message automatically becomes a numbered work order on the right location, with a notification back when fixed — no accounts, no training.
Chiefly: fire and alarm systems and emergency exits (typically quarterly), playgrounds and equipment, laboratories, and electrical fittings — via photo-documented rounds whose records are kept for supervising authorities.
During holidays: deferred work is collected all term, converted into scheduled work orders executed over the break, with an acceptance round a week before return.
Yes — small teams benefit most: routing and reminders are automatic, technicians receive jobs over WhatsApp in their own language, and the supervisor manages everything from one screen.
When inspections and requests are documented with photos and timestamps as they happen — as in MRFQ — the safety and maintenance record is complete and presentable in one click.
