WILKA x ROCKETHOME: Innovative access management on the ROCKETHOME platform

Two companies could not be more satisfied with the end result of a cooperation: "The entire cooperation was characterized by reliability and trust from the very first conversation," says WILKA Managing Director Robert Schlieper. And ROCKETHOME Managing Director Yüksel Sirmasac also praises the joint cooperation and, above all, the speed of product integration into the property management platform on both sides: Within a few weeks, the WILKA products were integrated and the first live deployments implemented.

This is WILKA's easySmart access management system

Imagine a world in which you never have to search for your keys again. WILKA makes it possible together with ROCKETHOME! With the intelligent access solution from WILKA, access is no longer via a key, but via smartphones, transponder cards or - for those who like to search for their bunch of keys from time to time - key fobs.

The cloud-based access solution offers enormous advantages for two target groups in particular: Managers / owners of vacation properties / hotel owners and, of course, their guests or travelers.

Owners and managers

• Flexible and stress-free access management without handing over keys
• More convenience thanks to simultaneous check-in of several guests
• Owners no longer need to be on site
• Central and digital guest management

Travelers and guests

• Flexible and stress-free travel
• Independence at check-in and check-out
• No annoying search for keys
• Virtual key handover

Seamless processes for both sides of the rental process create satisfaction and convenience. In addition to travel guests, the smart access solution is ideal for tradespeople, cleaning staff or private visitors: Access times can be conveniently defined and managed. Say goodbye to tedious key handovers!

The joint implementation

easySmart uses the established property management platform from ROCKETHOME, which has already been successfully represented on the market for several years. In collaboration with ROCKETHOME, the easySmart app was developed and adapted within 6 months to meet the specific requirements of the market and WILKA's customers.

Smart Home services on demand

The collaboration offers end users the option of integrating any smart home components as required. These are already prepared in the app and are integrated by ROCKETHOME on request. This means that the easySmart app can not only be used for locking and opening, but can also be supplemented with other smart home components:

• Electrically controlled roller shutters
• Sockets
• Lighting control 
• Energy and indoor climate management 
• Control of charging stations

Full Circle experience for specialist tradespeople

An important milestone alongside the integration of the app on the ROCKETHOME property management platform was the support of WILKA's specialist dealers through the easySmart Manager. Via the easySmart Shop , specialist trade partners can simply purchase the license that allows their customers to use the app. The purchase of the license is checked by WILKA and made available directly to the specialist dealers in the easySmart Manager. This model ensures smooth cooperation between WILKA and its partners.

Strengthening sales with the easySmart Manager

The easySmart Manager - WILKA's property manager - enables trade partners to manage projects and customers independently. This not only promotes clear project management, but also individual working methods. Set up as an internet-based and digital business model, the easySmart Manager increases efficiency and strengthens WILKA's bond with its trade partners. 

• easySmart Manager as an administration interface for trade partners
• Development as an internet-based & digital business model
• Efficiency and partner loyalty through easySmart Manager
• easySmart access management can be handed over directly to customers by specialist trade partners
• User licenses can be purchased directly from the WILKA Shop.

The cooperation showed that the focus for both parties was on the joint development of a product that precisely meets the needs of the target group. The cooperation between the teams at WILKA and ROCKETHOME from different specialist areas worked smoothly. Only through mutual trust and close cooperation was it possible to create such a convincing product.
