Delivery Delivered on our standard apartment SaaS platform, with lock and meter hardware onboarding and implementation training.
Challenges
Apartment operations: do these sound familiar?
As units multiply, meter reading, door access and repairs become three teams with three sets of books.
-
Slow meter reading
Reading meters door to door takes time and effort, errors creep in, and bill disputes are frequent.
-
Scattered device management
Locks, water meters and electricity meters each have a back end, with a pile of accounts and passwords and high O&M cost.
-
Slow check-in and check-out
Viewings, card issuing and lock changes all need a site visit, so the staff-to-unit ratio will not come down.
-
Risks found late
Arrears, abnormal water and electricity use and offline locks are usually known only when a tenant reports them.
Key features
Fully digital, so apartments run more efficiently
One platform manages it all: devices, leasing and charges on the same data line.
Industries
