Smart Apartment Operations at Scale
Manage thousands of units across cities from a single dashboard. Zero key handovers, zero on-site visits, full operational visibility.
Solution Overview
One Platform. Every Unit. Every City.
This workflow connects lease data, remote tenant credentials, visitor access and device monitoring so apartment operators can manage units without physical key handovers.
- Lease Agreement Sync
- Tenant Onboarding & Remote Passcodes
- Public Access & Temporary PINs
- Real-time Device Status Monitoring
- Lease Expiration & Permission Clearance
Pain Points & Approach
Multi-Property Management Is Broken
Every key handover, every late-night lockout, every empty unit eating utility bills — these are pure margin loss.
Physical Key Chaos
Lost keys, duplicate keys, manual handovers — a single missing key can cost $200+ to rekey a unit.
Empty Unit Energy Drain
HVAC and water heaters often run between tenancies — unmonitored vacant units burn 30% of yearly utilities.
Distributed Properties
Managing units in different cities and timezones means constant on-site trips and zero real-time visibility.
Reactive Maintenance
Tenants only report issues after damage occurs — leading to expensive emergency repairs and bad reviews.
Typical Workflow
Designed for modern rental properties, this workflow synchronizes with lease agreements to remotely issue and manage tenant passcodes. It grants temporary access for visitors to public areas, monitors device status in real-time, and automatically clears credentials when leases expire, effectively reducing manual management costs.

Key Functions
Built for Distributed Portfolios
Run hundreds of properties with the staffing of a small team.
Multi-Property Dashboard
Manage thousands of units across cities from one cloud — group by building, owner, or region.
Dynamic Remote Passcodes
Time-limited, one-time, or recurring PIN codes for tenants, cleaners, and agents — generated remotely without Wi-Fi at the door.
Zero Key Handover
Mobile keys + dynamic PINs eliminate physical key exchanges entirely — onboard a tenant in 60 seconds.
Vacant Unit Energy Saving
AI detects vacant units and automatically dials back HVAC, lighting, and water heating — instant utility savings.
Real-time Alerts
Door pry, low battery, water leak, smoke — escalation routed to the right manager in real time.

Project Snapshot
850-Unit Co-living Operator
Tokyo + Osaka
Case Study
Background
A growing co-living brand operated 850 units across two cities with a 6-person property team — onboarding was the bottleneck.
Challenge
Manual key handovers, frequent lockouts, and vacant-unit utility bills consumed nearly 15% of monthly revenue.
Solution
Replaced legacy locks with our smart locks + multi-property cloud + AI vacancy detection. Rolled out in 4 months.
