The month of July brought one intense competition - a Mario Kart tournament.

Each Thursday in the month our team members got together and raced with the speed increasing each week. Our top three players breaked for bananas, dodged shells and drifted their way into first, second and third place.

Congratulations!

Connecting physical assets to the cloud brought real estate into the digital age. What comes next will be defined by how we turn that data into real-world action.

SmartRent powers an unmatched IoT footprint in rental housing, with over 4 million installed devices, 911,000 IoT units and 770,000 monthly active resident users. That real-world scale generates millions of operational data points every single day.

Today, we are setting the stage for the next chapter of property technology by announcing a multi-year initiative with Databricks to integrate the Databricks Data + AI Platform as the foundational engine for SmartRent's enterprise data architecture.

By bringing advanced data infrastructure and governance to our live footprint, we are laying the groundwork to turn real-world scale into direct operator value across several strategic areas, including:

- Scalable Operational Intelligence: Enhancing platform capability to help property operators streamline workflows, mitigate physical operational risk and maximize net operating income across their portfolios.

- Enterprise Governance & Portfolio Visibility: Establishing a unified, highly secure data foundation that delivers clear, enterprise-wide visibility and actionable real estate insights to key stakeholders.

Over the coming quarters, we look forward to sharing how this modern data architecture will redefine what’s possible in rental housing.

We’ve officially outgrown the phrase ""smart home.""

New Orleans gave us a lot last week: incredible food, wild weather and numerous conversations that confirmed something we’ve been watching build for a while.

The multifamily industry is no longer debating whether to invest in smart technology. Instead, forward-thinking operators are having a much bigger, more interesting conversation: What is it actually supposed to do, and what distinguishes a basic gadget from true, property-wide infrastructure?

So when we say we've officially outgrown the phrase ""smart home,"" it's because our goal of bringing smarter living and working to everyone now needs to look past isolated devices and start designing connected communities

Next week, we’re publishing a comprehensive breakdown of the massive shifts reshaping our industry. Here is a high-level look at some of what we’ll be diving into:

- Access Layers Over Just Locks: Access control is vital, but a smart lock is the entry point of the conversation, not the destination. True value happens when your access layer is seamlessly tied to your lease management, thermostats and asset protection systems.
- Building a Property “Immune System”: Reactive maintenance is a quiet drain on your budget. We are rewriting the operational playbook by using connected sensors to catch threats - like a slow leak or humidity spikes during unit turns - at the signal stage, before they turn into a costly work order.
- Funding vs. Justifying the Value: A technology fee is an excellent funding mechanism, but it isn’t the core value proposition. The real return shows up when you track the hours reclaimed by your on-site teams, the energy saved and the catastrophic damage prevented.

Keep an eye out for more on this, next week. Our team members will also be right here on your feed all week long sharing their on-the-ground takeaways from the show floor.

Until then, enjoy a few highlights of the SmartRent team bringing the energy to New Orleans!

A unified platform should adapt to your portfolio, not the other way around.

With over 911,000 IoT units deployed and 1.2 million apartment homes supported through our maintenance and leasing solutions, the demand we see from our customers is clear: they want to eliminate point-solution fatigue and maximize operational efficiency.

Property requirements vary by asset type, budget and region. That’s why we design our ecosystem to offer complete operational flexibility, combining first-to-market innovation with practical, real-world utility.

Our latest rollouts, recently featured in Multifamily Executive, deliver exactly that:

- Automated Risk Mitigation: Our new Climate Protection Mode serves as a built-in fail-safe to mitigate catastrophic property risk and defend NOI against extreme weather conditions.

- Flexible Access Control: Our hardware-free Virtual Intercom expands our access suite, working alongside our traditional hardware entry options to give operators adaptable CapEx choices for any property configuration.

By delivering these comprehensive capabilities within a single ecosystem, we remove the friction of managing disparate, siloed vendors. When our customers need scalable efficiency, we deliver it.

Thank you to MFE Magazine for highlighting these new capabilities, validating our commitment to delivering smarter living and working to everyone we serve.
