PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.,
Sept. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE:CARR) the
leading global provider of healthy, safe, sustainable and
intelligent building and cold chain solutions, has signed an
agreement to acquire BrokerBay Inc., a pioneer in the development
of an advanced, streamlined and user-friendly real estate
management cloud ecosystem. The software's ability to reduce a
brokerage's administrative workload, streamline the real estate
scheduling and showing experience, as well as standardize
electronic lockbox access, will strengthen Carrier's leading access
solutions offering within its Fire & Security business.
"The acquisition of BrokerBay delivers on Carrier's
long-standing commitment to growth and innovation," said
Jurgen Timperman, President, Carrier
Fire & Security. "Our Supra real estate lockbox management and
mobile credentialing business paired with BrokerBay's capabilities
to deliver advanced digital solutions will improve efficiencies for
North American real estate agents, while also driving our strategy
of increasing recurring revenue through enhanced services."
Supra, part of Fire & Security's Access Solutions
business, has been serving the real estate industry for over 60
years, with key mobile credentialing technology deployed across an
installed base of 4 million locking devices in multiple industries.
Supra is a market leader in supporting real estate showings and
enabled 45 million property showings in 2020.
Following closing, which is expected in October, BrokerBay and
Supra will provide a one-stop shop for realtors that combines
scheduling and mobile lockbox access in an intuitive, user-friendly
showing experience to empower agents, reduce workload and provide
actionable analytics.
"With increasingly high volumes in real estate showings, there
is a need for agents to act with speed and efficiency," said
Jeffrey Stanek, Managing Director,
Global Access Solutions, Carrier Fire & Security. "This
acquisition will further ensure they have the best solutions
available to succeed."
"We're excited to join Carrier as we share a strong commitment
to the real estate community," said Costa Ntoukas, CEO, BrokerBay.
"BrokerBay will continue delivering best-in-class solutions and
integrations to all real estate agents, including Supra customers.
We also look forward to joining forces in revolutionizing digital
services that exceed our customers' expectations."
The acquisition aligns with Carrier's stated business
development approach of strategic acquisitions in digital and
aftermarket that will drive recurring revenue for the company.
The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
