Usewalter Secures Integration Arrangement with Hopem, a Leading Developer of Property Management Software Solutions
Montreal, Quebec–(Newsfile Corp. – February 16, 2021) – GOLO Mobile Inc., doing business as Usewalter (TSXV: WLTR) (“Usewalter” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce an integration arrangement with Hopem, a leading accounting software developer for the property management industry. This arrangement gives Usewalter access to over 400,000 new doors across Canada by leveraging apps that currently utilize Hopem’s software. As a connected solution, Usewalter can integrate its innovative SaaS-based smart building technology with the Hopem back-end platform, benefitting property owners that are striving to add value for existing tenants while attracting new potential renters with creative and convenient technology solutions.
This arrangement will support the ongoing capture of synergies between the two platforms, and is expected to expose the usewalter app to a new segment of property owners. Usewalter’s solution can connect to, and sync with, various back-end infrastructure platforms while offering a seamless front-end user interface through its usewalter property management app. With the app, residents are able to accomplish a variety of tasks, including connecting directly with landlords, managing parcel and food deliveries, ordering in-home services or reserving in-building smart lockers where applicable. This front and back-end integration combines to create a high value-add and ultra-convenient experience for both residents and property owners.
“As Usewalter continues to grow our client base and enhance our service offerings, we are very excited about working with a leading software firm like Hopem,” said Peter Mazoff, CEO of Usewalter. “Integrating our usewalter app with Hopem’s cutting-edge back-end platform expands the capabilities of both, allowing us to tap into a new market vertical for us, property owners of rental properties in the Montreal area. These owners are looking for an all-encompassing solution that can be rolled-out in a single deployment to all residents of a particular building and which provides ‘the one app no one can live without.”
Hopem’s broad-reaching market focus goes beyond just residential and commercial real estate properties to include retirement homes, as well as industrial, school and municipal asset management segments. These areas offer future potential expansion opportunities for Usewalter both through the Hopem arrangement but also as potential models that can be pursued in other jurisdictions as Usewalter’s rate of usage and adoption continues to increase.
