Overview
We are an enterprise real estate technology company that provides a comprehensive management platform designed for property owners, managers and residents. Our suite of products and services, which includes cloud-based SaaS solutions many of which are enabled by smart building hardware, provide seamless visibility and control over real estate assets. Our platform can lower operating costs, increase revenues, mitigate operational friction and protect assets for owners and operators, while providing a differentiated, elevated living experience for residents.
Through centrally connected devices ("Hub Devices"), which integrate our enterprise software with third party smart devices, we enable the integration of our platform with third-party smart devices, our own hardware devices and other technology interfaces. We use an open-architecture, brand-agnostic approach that allows owners, operators, and residents to manage their smart home systems through a single connected interface. Our Smart Community solutions include software and devices that power (i) smart apartments and homes, (ii) access control for buildings, common areas, and rental units, and other solutions such as asset protection and monitoring and self-guided tours. Our Smart Operations solutions include work order management, the automation of leasing and resident call handling, audit management, and the automation of the inspection process. We also have a professional services team that provides customers with training, installation, and support services.
SmartRent is a category leader in the enterprise smart home solutions industry. As of March 31, 2026, we had 911,244 Units Deployed (as defined below) and approximately 600 customers who either have an active subscription or have purchased any SmartRent product in the past twelve months, including many of the largest multifamily residential owners in the United States. As of March 31, 2026, we believe our customers owned an aggregate of approximately 6.6 million rental units. This represents approximately 13% of the United States market for institutionally owned multifamily rental units and single-family rental homes. In addition to multifamily residential owners, our customers include some of the leading single-family rental homeowners, homebuilders, and iBuyers in the United States.
Our Business Model
We generate revenue primarily from sales of smart home systems that enable property owners and property managers to have visibility and control over assets, while providing all-in-one home control offerings for residents. Our revenue is primarily generated from: (1) the direct sale to our customers of hosted services from subscription fees collected from customers to provide Hosted Services including access controls, asset monitoring, and related services; (2) the sale and delivery of smart home devices, which generally consist of a Hub Device, door-locks, thermostats, sensors, and light switches; and (3) installation and implementation of smart home devices that enable our Hosted Services. Subscription arrangements have contractual terms ranging from one month to ten years and the weighted average length of our recurring revenue contracts is 3.9 years.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe that our success is dependent on many factors, including those discussed below. Our operating results and cash flows are dependent upon a number of opportunities, challenges and other factors, including our ability to grow our customer and installed base in a cost-effective manner, expand our hardware and hosted service offerings to generate increased revenue per Unit Deployed (as defined below), and provide high quality hardware products and hosted service applications to maximize revenue and improve the leverage of our business model. While these areas represent opportunities for us, they also represent challenges and risks that we must successfully address in order to operate our business.
Active Supply Chain Management
We continue to experience improvements in the challenges related to the global supply chain. In prior periods, the increased demand for electronics as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. trade relations with China and certain other factors in recent periods led to a global shortage of semiconductors, including Z‑wave chips, which are a central component of our Hub Devices. Due to this shortage in prior periods, we experienced Hub Device production delays, which affected our ability to meet scheduled installations and facilitate customer upgrades to our higher-margin Hub Devices. We also experienced shortages and shipment delays related to components for access control systems and made-to-order specialty locks.
The incremental improvements in the global supply chain are evidenced by our reduction of backlogged Units Deployed for Access Control and made-to-order locks.
