CloudKeyz, founded in 2015 by Alexandr Viniychuk and Shane Robinson, developed keyless entry technology for the commercial real estate sector. The company established its headquarters in New York, NY, and focused on replacing traditional access tools like physical keys and fobs with a cloud-based system. In February 2018, the firm secured $600K in an Angel funding round, followed by a Later Stage VC round in November 2020. A significant milestone occurred on May 17, 2022, when ButterflyMX, a provider of access control technology, acquired CloudKeyz, incorporating its assets, team, and customers.
The company targets property managers of multi-tenant commercial and residential buildings, offering a system to manage access for tenants, guests, employees, and vendors. Its business model centers on providing a comprehensive access control platform, which was previously offered at a monthly cost comparable to a cable bill. The system is designed to be non-invasive with a quick installation process. Revenue was generated through this subscription-based model for its platform and hardware.
CloudKeyz's product suite includes management software, mobile applications, and hardware with associated firmware. The core of the offering is a cloud-based web-admin portal where property managers can remotely issue or revoke access rights in real-time. For end-users, a mobile app enables keyless entry to doors, gates, and garages via cellular, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi. The system also supports access codes and key fobs. A standout hardware component is the "Cloud Screen," a video intercom that facilitates two-way video and audio calls to mobile phones for guest verification. The platform maintains a detailed access history and can integrate with CCTV cameras for enhanced security monitoring. The entire system is designed to function even in offline mode, ensuring reliability.
