Case Study: Watchmen Security helps Block Real Estate cut costs and boost resident experience with Brivo

Upgraded access control and lower costs give Block Real Estate a competitive edge in Kansas City’s hot rental market

Watchmen Security, a security provider, partnered with Brivo to address challenges faced by their customer, Block Real Estate. The full-service commercial real estate company was struggling with the high cost and complexity of managing physical locks and keys across its many properties. This created security gaps and vendor fatigue, requiring frequent on-site visits from building engineers for re-keying and emergencies.

The solution implemented was Brivo's cloud-based access control platform, which included mobile credentials, integrated video, and a full suite of security features. This shift to a single, cloud-hosted system from Brivo dramatically reduced building engineering costs, with one report showing a potential $150,000 in annual cost avoidance. The technology also provided a competitive edge by enhancing resident experiences with a convenient mobile app for access and guest management.
