Great meetings were held OS leading to partnerships for inndox.

Thankfully, it was just before the COVID-19 travel restrictions and post-travel lockdowns that  inndox met with business founders and property industry leaders to discuss strategic partnerships while in the UK and Singapore. 

With the grateful support of the Queensland Government, inndox was able to exhibit as the only Australian “PropTech” exhibitor at the global conference for the Built Environment, Futurebuild 2020. The event was held at the ExCeL conference centre in London from 2nd March to 5th March.

Over 25,000 people with a common interest in the future of proptech attended from all over the world. This provided the ideal environment to pitch inndox to hundreds of potential customers and gain feedback from an international audience, attend educational sessions on the future of the industry and to also learn about other incredible proptech and contech businesses demonstrating their products. There was a real buzz and excitement throughout the three day event at the London ExCeL - Exhibition and Trade Centre, London

Shortly after the exhibition, the ExCeL building was set up as a temporary hospital in order to accommodate London’s COVID-19 patients - a remarkable achievement of crisis management, adaptation and community coordination. Read about the conversion of the ExCeL into the nightingale hospital here.

While in London, we also met with Warren Bartlett, Deputy Commissioner for Queensland Investment and Trade in London at Australia House. He very obligingly introduced inndox to a number of property developers, insurers, home builders and other industry organisations on our behalf. 

The London visit was both positive and encouraging with exciting new learnings and contacts made that can persist throughout the current economic lock-downs and lead to increased business post pandemic.

It was during the stop-over in Singapore on the return journey that some exciting new business developments came about and these strategic negotiations have been able to continue despite the COVID-19 pandemic. 

It was a privilege to meet with Anthony Chow and Best Haputpong, the founders of igloohomes who have successfully been providing digital door locks in over 100 countries.

Their igloohomes solution helps businesses “manage access efficiently and effectively while eliminating the hassle of physical key management.” You can “retrieve information with ease and perform complete audit trails to keep your assets and property secure at all times” An innovative, smart-cities digital solution that has an obvious synergy with the inndox “digital property logbook” solution.

We agreed to proceed with a partnership arrangement whereby inndox users can purchase or lease "digital door locks and padlocks" when creating the inndox digital property logbook and store details of who accessed the property on the inndox logbook.  Check out this video explaining how igloohome can apply to your situation.

It's likely that over the next decade we will see the majority of Australia’s Buildings changing over to digital locks as they have done in other technologically advanced countries.

Another partnership meeting in Singapore…

It was also a great pleasure to have been able to meet with the company executives, Russell Kok, Willie Lian and Ernst Ong, the founders of Qornerstone - another proptech software company based in Singapore. Qornerstone provides property managers and building managers with online financial management for around 500 properties. They expressed a very keen interest in expanding into the Australian market by partnering with inndox. We are currently exploring their product and looking at ways to collaborate in order to strengthen both our offerings and scale into additional markets.

inndox is very grateful to have been able to experience the opportunity to explore overseas markets. inndox is motivated to capitalize on these international connections in order to bring a more integrated and holistic suite of complementary products to customers both during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
