Latch reaches 100 million annual unlocks with the Latch app and announces LatchOS2 with Dioramic Controls, Concierge, and OpenKit
October 24 2022 - 1:59PM
Latch, Inc. (NASDAQ: LTCH) today announces that it has reached 100
million annual unlocks with the Latch app, across iOS, Android, and
watchOS. Building on the success of the Latch ecosystem of devices,
software, and services, Latch is also announcing LatchOS2, the
second generation of its full-building operating system. LatchOS2
will further propel Latch’s mission of making spaces better places
to live, work, and visit. “From Dioramic Controls, to Concierge, to
our open ecosystem approach with OpenKit, LatchOS2 completely
changes the way that people can experience their space,” said Luke
Schoenfelder, Latch Co-Founder, CEO, and Chairman of the Board of
Directors.
Introducing Dioramic Controls
With Dioramic Controls, Latch introduces a revolutionary new
interface for residents to view and control their spaces in the
Latch App. Built on the USD three-dimensional file format pioneered
by Pixar, residents in compatible Latch spaces will now have the
ability to control all of the elements in their space from a 3D
representation of their environment. Rather than flipping through
pages and menus of switches and buttons, Latch App users will be
able to naturally click, rotate, and zoom within a representation
of their space. Enhanced by Latch’s breakthrough work with the
Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), Matter-enabled devices will
also be viewable and controllable in Latch powered spaces with
Dioramic Controls as part of LatchOS2.
Introducing Latch Concierge
With the launch of Concierge, residents now have an enhanced
capability to share access with their trusted guests and services,
discover new spaces and services nearby, and purchase spaces and
services all from the Latch app. For enabled properties, Concierge
also expands amenities beyond apartment properties by allowing
residents to discover and book a membership with WeWork in a simple
and integrated new service, announced last month. With Concierge
and LatchOS2, residents now have the ability to interact with their
property and neighborhood from the palm of their hand.
For real estate operators, LatchOS2 also provides a new way to
quickly and easily manage and monetize building amenities and
services. Using Concierge, real estate operators can set
availability and pricing and begin to monetize new spaces and
services at their building. Building residents currently spend
significant amounts of money on services at their properties, but
real estate operators haven’t had simple ways to capture this
revenue source until now. Concierge can play a central role in
enhancing the experience and monetization potential of every
space.
In addition to these new capabilities, LatchOS2 also introduces
Concierge Pro, a 24 hour a day, seven day a week, remote
receptionist for deliveries. Available for spaces equipped with
Latch Intercom and Latch Link, real estate operators can now
augment their building staff with a flexible and on-demand resource
to make their building better. An early version of this service was
first announced as Latch Delivery Assistant in 2020, serving
properties across the country since then, and it is now a central
part of Concierge Pro and LatchOS2.
Introducing OpenKit an open ecosystem
approach
For years, partners have wanted additional ways to leverage
Latch’s award-winning ecosystem and they will finally have the
tools they need to create new experiences. With LatchOS2’s OpenKit,
Latch partners can now build tightly integrated and differentiated
experiences in concert with Latch’s patented ecosystem of hardware,
software, and services that enable unlocking and other features
directly within partner applications for the first time.
OpenKit provides partners the best in class tools to bring
Latch’s suite of devices, services, and software to new experiences
across hospitality, delivery, and specialized prop-tech platforms.
"When we chose to integrate with Latch’s OpenKit, we knew that we
were going to provide our members with the best possible mobile
access experience across every space in our growing network,” Bill
Smith, CEO of the Landing.
OpenKit complements both Latch’s active support for the
Connectivity Standards Alliance, Matter, and Latch’s increased
ecosystem support for RealPage, Entrata, and Yardi workflows around
resident move-in and move-out. With the launch of LatchOS2 and
OpenKit, partners now have a complete system that can meet the
needs of their spaces today and tomorrow.
Available for Latch’s ecosystem
LatchOS2 features will begin rolling out to select customers in
the United States this Fall and be available to all customers in
2023. “Through the combination of LatchOS2, the Latch T, Latch
Link, and our entire set of products, I am confident that we
continue to have the most advanced and exciting product system
available for spaces today,” said Luke Schoenfelder, Latch
Co-Founder, CEO, and Chairman.
