October 8, 2020 – 1VALET announced today that it has partnered with Rogers Communications to launch Rogers Smart Community™, a new platform that consolidates building and management activities into one seamless experience with the goal to enhance lifestyle and property management capabilities in multi-residential communities and condominiums.

Residents will have access to a smartphone-centric living experience, which includes hands-free digital building access, video guest verification, and facial recognition access (opt-in only).

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.
