About The Customer
Rhapsody Property Management Services is a premier multifamily property management firm in Canada. The company is headquartered in Toronto and was formed to satisfy a growing need for sophisticated third-party management and to provide a level of service not previously offered in the Canadian market. One of their properties, Central Parc, is located in the heart of Laval, Quebec. The property includes six buildings and a community center, offering 1-, 2-, or 3-bedroom suites. Residents have access to an array of amenities including a fitness center, rooftop infinity pool, pet washing station, yoga studio, and more.
The Challenge
Rhapsody Property Management Services, a premier multifamily property management firm in Canada, was looking for an integrated access control system that was easy to use, reliable, and secure for their Central Parc property. The property, located in Laval, Quebec, is comprised of six buildings and a community center, offering residents an array of amenities and a beautiful one-acre park with an off-leash dog area. The challenge was to provide one-key access for residents that was easily maintained and reliable. The system needed to be scalable for future growth and versatile enough to complement any decor.
The Solution
Rhapsody chose dormakaba’s Saffire LX Series locking solution for Central Parc. The Saffire LX-M features sophisticated RFID technology in a contemporary design. It enhances access control convenience for residents and improves operational efficiency for property managers. The system includes mobile access that allows residents to use their smart devices to securely enter their residence, as well as perimeter, elevator, parking, and other common areas. The Saffire LX-M is managed by dormakaba Community™ access management software. Community provides property management staff an intuitive access management software to easily manage access of residences, amenities, common areas, and perimeters from a single platform. It also gives the convenience of both RFID credentials and BLE mobile access keys for a seamless experience with no need for additional software.
