Noknox provides a SaaS-driven communication platform designed to modernize interactions within residential condominiums. The company was founded in Brazil in 2018 by friends Joaquim Venancio, Alexandre Landim, and Filipe Silva (also cited as Filipe Wang), who were motivated by the daily inconveniences of traditional building communication systems. CEO Joaquim Venancio has a background in marketing from FGV, digital transformation from MIT, and an executive program from Singularity University.
The company's core offering is a mobile application that replaces physical intercoms and logbooks, connecting residents, building managers (síndicos), and doormen. Through the app, residents can manage visitor access by pre-registering guests or approving their entry in real-time upon arrival, receiving a notification with the visitor's name and photo. It also streamlines package and mail delivery by instantly notifying residents when an item arrives, complete with a pickup code. The platform includes features for booking common areas, a private chat for communicating with building staff and neighbors without sharing personal phone numbers, and a digital log for reporting issues directly to the administration. Building-wide announcements are also pushed directly to residents' phones.
Noknox operates on a subscription-based business model, targeting residential buildings and property managers. The business model involves a monthly fee per apartment for its most comprehensive version. The platform is designed for condominiums of all sizes and serves both professional building managers and resident managers. The company's goal is to enhance convenience, security, and efficiency for all parties involved in a condominium's ecosystem. A significant milestone for Noknox was its acquisition by QuintoAndar, a major Brazilian real estate proptech company, in March 2022. This acquisition was intended to expand QuintoAndar's presence in the daily lives of its customers and integrate Noknox's technology into its broader service offerings.
