Consider smart locks, for example. Smart locks provide keyless access for residents and remote management capabilities for property managers. Residents can unlock doors with a smartphone, smartwatch, or PIN code, eliminating the need for physical keys and the risk of lost or stolen keys. For property managers, smart locks reduce operational headaches by eliminating rekeying costs and enabling self-guided unit tours. Smart video intercoms similarly offer keyless access alongside video surveillance features. Now residents and/or property managers can see and talk to guests before granting access. They also streamline visitor management by enabling temporary guest access for friends and visitors. These conveniences are especially attractive to tech-savvy residents using on-demand delivery apps and services.

With cloud-based access control solutions like these, property owners can streamline operations even with limited budgets and resources. These platforms allow remote management of many properties while reducing the need for on-site staff. Scalable for properties of all sizes, they also simplify access management, empowering smaller operations to compete in a competitive market.

SMART LOCKS REDUCE OPERATIONAL HEADACHES BY ELIMINATING REKEYING COSTS AND ENABLING SELF-GUIDED UNIT TOURS.
