When Smart Living was planning the opening of its 330 McLeod location it was looking for a partner to bring smart home access and security to its future residents. Rather than a one-and-done purchase of smart locks, they needed a partner that could be responsive to their particular needs and grow with them in the future. Facing a variety of challenges ranging from keeping track of keys to providing just-in-time access to staff and maintenance personnel, to managing access and tracking activity across every door, they turned to LocklyPro.
“Before working with LocklyPro, we were struggling with managing door access and management control across all our properties. We knew we needed a smart access solution but had a number of requirements ranging from working with a trusted industry leader with their own end-to-end integrated solutions, pro-level commercial products, and responsive customer support. We needed a partner to help us bring smart home convenience to our residents while providing us with real-time visibility, and access control. The solution also needed to be operationally easy to install, quick to set up, and easy for staff to take ownership of,” says Tanner Brady, Facility Technician, Smart Living Properties.
“We didn’t want to just install smart locks across our properties, we needed a total access solution. ”
Smart Living turned to LocklyPro for its Lockly Total Access solution to bring their properties into the smart home era and help provide security and convenience for its residents while managing smart access control. Marrying Lockly’s award-winning hardware with Lockly’s mobile app and Lockly\OS™ smart access online portal, staff can easily adapt, own, and set up rules and permissions to interact with residents and have complete Lockly smart lock management, traceability, and reporting across their entire property portfolio.
Residents can use their finger as their key!
Thanks to Lockly’s advanced 3-D fingerprint sensor, residents no longer need to worry about misplaced or lost keys. Door access is as simple as a touch of a button. Other added conveniences like auto-locking and patented PIN Genie digital touchscreen enhance the resident experience and underscore Smart Living’s commitment to high-quality amenities.
Lockly’s easy to deploy solution also provides Smart Living with remote control and management of all of its doors including residents, common, and secure areas. The ability to set up, issue time-based, revocable E-keys from anywhere, anytime significantly reduces the time spent for operations to manage and control door access for new residents, guests, and maintenance personnel.
“We didn’t want to just install smart locks across our properties, we needed a total access solution. We found this in our partnership with Lockly and could not be happier to work with them. In fact, we had an issue with calibrating some 50 locks during an install and were able to quickly reach support at Lockly to assist us. The company responded over the weekend with a software update completed in a couple of days, which quickly solved the issue. Being able to have that level of access and service response is a huge benefit for us. I can’t think of another company that performs such responsive customer service.” noted Brady.
“We don’t consider ourselves a company that just wants to sell you hardware. We want to develop a meaningful partnership with our customers where we can have a two-way relationship, says Jim Conti, Head of Lockly Pro.”
