Case Study: Zona Capital achieves automated cloud-based access control with RemoteLock

One Man’s Odyssey to Cloud-Based Access Control

Sergey Shukhat of the real estate firm Zona Capital, LLC, needed a secure and automated access control solution for his extensive portfolio of over 1,000 units, half of which were short-term rentals. His challenge was replacing labor-intensive lockboxes and unreliable early-generation smart locks that offered poor security and required constant, costly maintenance. He turned to the vendor RemoteLock for a solution.

RemoteLock provided its KeyInCode smart lock hardware and cloud-based access control software. The solution offered exceptional battery life, robust integrations with property management systems like Guesty, and centralized control, which eliminated the need for on-site staff. The results for Zona Capital included a fully automated check-in process, significant labor cost savings, and a scalable system that could support the company's planned growth, with Shukhat declaring RemoteLock a key piece of his "secret sauce."
