Foxbox Digital has integrated with the SALTO KS API to accommodate our joint end customer, The X Company: A rapidly expanding multifamily residential community with over 5,000 units and $1 Billion in construction activity.
The X Company has two of the most significant SALTO KS installations (and will expand to a total of six buildings in the US).
We’ve asked Foxbox Digital some questions to find out what this interesting integration exactly entails and what it means for the Foxbox Digital and the X Company:
What exactly is Foxbox Digital, what do you guys offer, and to whom?
“Foxbox Digital is an award-winning digital product agency headquartered in Chicago. We partner with startups and SMBs to design, develop, and deliver successful digital experiences across mobile and web. Foxbox is ranked #121 on the 2022 Inc 5000 and is the 11th fastest-growing software company in the US.”
Through the technology we create, we help customers automate their back-office operations and drive more revenue through customer engagement.
Can you explain why you decided to collaborate with SALTO KS for the X Company?
“Delivering reliability and security to residents meant The X Company needed technology that succeeded where previous tools had fallen short. SALTO KS provided the perfect combination of robust capability and customization for the type of custom integration the challenge required.”
How does the integration with SALTO KS help the X company's tenants and building managers?
“Both residents and community managers are able to not only remotely access personal apartment locks but also access other amenities in the same seamless experience.”
How did this integration with SALTO KS change the business for Foxbox Digital and the X Company?
“The X Company needed a platform that delivered on its disruptive vision for the multifamily residential real estate industry. The SALTO KS integration played a critical role in giving them all the tools they needed to support residents and expand their reach.”
How does Foxbox Digital help companies to scale?
“Foxbox Digital helps companies scale by designing and building world-class digital products and successfully bringing them to market. Through the technology we create, we help customers automate their back-office operations and drive more revenue through customer engagement.”
Naturally, innovative technology had to play a crucial role. Now, residents can seamlessly grant access to a visiting friend, book a conference room, and alert community managers of a dishwasher that needs fixing.
What is the most requested feature you ever received?
“X Company has a modern vision for their living spaces in which the "roommates" may not always know each other before living at X but instead are paired up by the X team. This is part of their vision to create a more social community where people can move from all over the globe and meet new people.
SALTO KS locks are used on all room- and individual-bedroom doors because they provide an added layer of safety and security, especially since the roommates might not know each other initially and need time to build trust.
However, we saw an overwhelming interest in being able to set bedroom doors to a default unlocked state where they would not lock every time they were closed. This would allow residents to navigate into their bedrooms more easily and not need to unlock them whenever they needed to get in. This was supported with the "Remote Office Mode" feature in SALTO KS, allowing people to set a lock to a default unlocked state.”
Can you give a few examples of the X Company's ‘modern coworking options’ and how Foxbox Digital has helped them to offer these?
“The X Company’s core value proposition is based on a hybrid live-work-play experience built on state-of-the-art spaces and amenities. Naturally, innovative technology had to play a crucial role. Now all within one platform, residents can seamlessly grant access to a visiting friend, book a conference room, and alert community managers of a dishwasher that needs fixing. Plus, with a real-time analytics dashboard, community managers and leadership at The X Company can analyze and improve the resident experience in real-time.”
What ‘problem’ or challenge did SALTO KS solve for Foxbox Digital and the X Company?
“The integration with SALTO KS allowed us to ensure the platform's digital lock capabilities provided the most secure, easy-to-use, and reliable resident experience possible.”
What would you like to see for SALTO KS to support Foxbox Digital’s plans in the future?
“Foxbox aims to be SALTO KS’ go-to integration partner. We have the experience and expertise to develop custom digital products using SALTO KS. We help commercial real estate, multi-family residential, and hospitality clients deliver modern digital access experiences using SALTO KS.”
Three of the biggest benefits of the integration with SALTO KS:
1. Mobile/Keyless entry that works online and offline. The X Company App allows residents to access every door from their bedroom to the garage and shared spaces. It even works when users aren’t connected to the internet.
2. Grant and revoke resident access in an instant, securely. The X Company platform is secured by multi-factor authentication, with additional back-end security protection that protects residents when they lose phone access.
3. Sharing visitor access. The app can grant temporary and secure access to friends, family, dog walkers, and more from within the app.
