Is outsourced maintenance a thing?

Does something like a "property maintenance company" exist?

I'm self-managing ~60 units on the south side and for the most part, doing great. However, maintenance is killing me. I'm a computer nerd and spent much of my life doing heads-down work with as few interruptions as possible. So the asynchronous nature of tenant requests, coupled with trying to get them handed out to the right handyman, plumber, etc, are driving me insane.

Is this something that can be outsourced without going to a full 3rd party property management arrangement? Ideally there would be a number for tenants to call, they would take the calls and deal with them. Some repairs would be approved automatically, others would get run by me for the "OK" first.

Does this make sense? Does it exist?

Thanks,
Allen

@Allen B. If you're using RentRedi as a managing software you can add Latchel as a maintenance service. I personally haven't used Latchels service but as I look to scale, its a route I am looking to explore. I hope this helps
