Parakey Highlights 2020

With a strong hope that our risk groups can very soon be vaccinated, we put the Corona year behind us, but first lift some really good highlights from 2020:

Strong growth of customers, users and openings

Our customer and user base is constantly increasing - during the past year we received over 53,000 new unique users (117% user growth compared to 2019) who now open locked spaces with Parakey App. Among the 209 companies that became customers to us in 2020 (90% customer growth compared to 2019), we find, for example, Tibber and Curbfood, which deal with electricity and take away food in a new way, AFA Fastigheter and our first installation in Norway for the City Planning Office in the government quarter in Oslo. We signed framework agreements with Balder as well as with Klövern-owned First Office, which has about 60 office hotels where members are now offered mobile access - with one and the same digital Parakey key, and initiated a strategic collaboration with Lundbergs Fastigheter, where the use of Parakey was very well received after evaluation at the head office in Norrköping and the regional office in Linköping. In addition, despite the pandemic, 1 million more openings were made with Parakey compared to the previous year.

Launch of Parakey PDL

We teamed up with one of the world's largest suppliers of security products, dormakaba , for the development of our professional digital lock and appointed a steering group with representatives from Wallenstam, Stena Fastigheter, Klövern and Fabege, and the assignment to demand the product. With the launch of Parakey PDL (Professional Digital Lock), we also entered the market of apartment buildings and apartments. A milestone in Parakey's history!

Integration with Zapier that enables connection to 2500+ other tools and services

To make it even easier to automate key management, we made an integration to the integration hub Zapier. In this way, Parakey can now be seamlessly connected to over 2500 other tools and services that are linked to Zapier, such as Google's G-Suite, Office 365, OfficeRnD and Calendly.

New features, UX/UI enhancements, etc.m.

We continuously update both the app and web portal and mention here some goodies from 2020. The app got a boost in the form of UX/UI improvements and we now also support newer Huawei phones without Google Play. The portal added functionality to filter and sort users based on their recent activity (opening) and a new view to easily clear inactive users. We have also been working on an updated portal and support for more languages (both Swedish and English), but more on that in 2021 😊
