OTTAWA – Rogers and 1Valet announced today the two companies have teamed up to launch Rogers Smart Community for Rogers Ignite customers living in condos and other multi-residential communities.
The new platform “consolidates building and management activities into one seamless experience,” which aims to provide “a unified experience for residents, property managers, and their staff.” The partnership is a five-year deal.
Residents will have access to a smartphone-centric living experience, if they want, which includes hands-free building access, video guest verification, and facial recognition access. “For operations staff, the platform enables remote multi-building management, while also bringing together otherwise disconnected building systems such as cameras, access control, resident management, and package delivery into one integrated management portal.”
“This is a game changer for us,” said 1Valet founder and CEO Jean-Pierre Poulin, in the press release. “Having Rogers bundle us together with industry leading connectivity is not only a tremendous growth opportunity, it also validates that the market is ready for our solution.”
“With a joint solution and salesforce, the two Canadian companies will offer a comprehensive, turnkey smart building solution for condos and other multi-family developments across Rogers’ network in Ontario, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland,” says the release.
“Rogers Smart Community will transform the experience for our customers and property managers in multi-residential buildings by offering them the tools to help create a safer and smarter community,” said Michael Krstajic, SVP, field sales and major accounts, Rogers Communications.
