Rockethome integrates ‘easy’ into smart building platform
ROCKETHOME GmbH has been offering smart building solutions for the property industry throughout Europe since 2010. With its cloud-based platform "ROCKETHOME Estate", the Cologne-based company has created a digital experience for residents, owners, property managers and service providers in recent years. On their authorised devices, platform users can view, use and book a wide range of smart services and electromobility products, such as heating and lighting control, room climate optimisation or charging activity. With the "easy" digital access solution from WILKA, ROCKETHOME now also offers smart house and apartment access on its platform. Access is no longer via a key, but via smartphones and other identification media such as transponder cards or key fobs. For the first time in the WILKA solution, access is managed via a shared IoT cloud.
"We looked at the various digital access solutions available on the market," says Yüksel Sirmasac – ROCKETHOME founder and Managing Director. "WILKA didn’t just impress us with its expertise and product quality," continues Sirmasac. "Our entire collaboration was characterised by reliability and trust from the very first conversation." And WILKA Managing Director Robert Schlieper was also impressed by ROCKETHOME: "ROCKETHOME was already known to us as an important pioneer in the digitalisation of residential and office buildings," says Schlieper. "In addition to their expertise in software intelligence and the IoT cloud, we were particularly impressed by the speed with which our smart access solution was integrated into the platform." Only a few weeks passed between the first workshops and the integration of the WILKA products into the ROCKETHOME platform. And the first live applications of the WILKA access solution via "ROCKETHOME Estate" were not long in coming. Within just a few months, ROCKETHOME and WILKA have already successfully realised numerous major projects in the residential construction segment. Both companies intend to sustainably expand their collaboration in the area of digital access solutions and successively offer additional cloud functions.
