Supra, a global provider of access solutions for the real estate industry, has announced an expanded suite of services designed to reduce touch points and increase efficiency, as part of Carrier’s Healthy Homes Program. Supra is a part of Carrier Global Corporation, which provides heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration, fire, security, and building automation technologies.
“By the end of June 2020, real estate showings recovered to levels that we saw in 2019, with over 1 million weekly showings facilitated by Supra access solutions,” said Fayyad Sbaihat, president of Supra. “With this kind of volume in real estate showings, there’s a need for agents to be active and safe, and we want to help make sure they have the best tools available.”
Supra’s expanded suite of new and existing services includes upgrades to eKey installations, which can unlock a realtor’s keybox safely and securely using the agent’s phone. Real estate organizations can upgrade traditional hardware keys to the eKey app without agents having to physically come into the office. Agents can now receive their eKey authorization via email.Additionally, Supra recently launched remote keybox programming allowing real estate professionals using a compatible keybox to easily and remotely change several keybox settings without bringing the box to the office. Remote updates include shackle codes, call before showing codes, keybox feedback flags and more — all from the internet. The keybox will deliver these new settings seamlessly to the next agent with an eKey.
“We needed to quickly exchange over 1,300 ActiveKey hardware keys within one week of reopening our association’s building,” said Rick Capelli, chief financial officer/membership of St. Louis Realtors. “Supra helped us shift from a two-day, in-person key exchange event to a remote installation that ensured peace of mind for our members.”
