**The problem it solves** Multi-property STR operators need scalable, automated guest access that works reliably even when on-site internet connectivity is unreliable. **What igloohome does** igloohome is a Singapore-based access control technology company, co-founded in 2015 by Anthony Chow and Kelvin Ho, developing smart lock hardware and the iglooconnect management platform for residential, commercial, and hospitality applications. It operates at the intersection of hardware and software with retrofit-friendly product lines including Mortise locks, Deadbolts, Padlocks, Keyboxes, gate and rim locks, and key fobs. **How it works** igloohome smart locks support PIN code entry, Bluetooth and mobile wallet access (Apple Wallet and Google Wallet), key fob, and fingerprint entry, and operate offline using the company's proprietary algoPIN technology, which stores valid PINs on a secure chip inside the lock so it works during WiFi outages and power cuts without an internet connection at the door. The iglooconnect platform handles remote issuance and revocation of time-limited codes tied to reservation windows, integration with booking calendars for automated PIN generation, real-time access event monitoring, and proactive battery and maintenance alerts. It offers a single API and 500+ pre-built integrations across property management, booking, and access platforms (including RealPage, SmartRent, and Operto). The company reports use across 1 million or more doors daily, 25 million or more access credentials generated per year, and operators in 100 or more cities across the US, UK, APAC, and Europe. **Who it's for** Short-term rental operators, vacation rental managers, boutique hotels, multifamily portfolios, and workforce housing across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the US.
