Toronto, Canada, October 19, 2022 (TSXV:ZONE, OTCQB:ZTLLF) — Zonetail Inc. (“Zonetail” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with Osgoode Properties (Osgoode) to launch its marketplace within Osgoode’s existing mobile app across 29 locations, with over 5,000 apartment and townhouse units, in Ottawa, Kingston, Calgary, Edmonton and Gatineau, QB.
Osgoode utilizes Yardi’s premium platform and mobile application, RENTCafe, as their tenant portal, allowing residents to communicate and interact with their property manager, create service requests, receive updates on community news among other valuable tools all at the touch of a screen.
Osgoode and their tenants have been using the Yardi RENTCafe platform for several years, and as such, the majority of Osgoode’s residents use it on a regular basis. The successful adoption of the Osgoode/Yardi mobile application by Osgoode tenants provides Zonetail, and Zonetail marketplace clientele, with an instant, highly engaged and targeted consumer base to communicate with.
Once Zonetail’s simple three-step onboarding of Osgoode’s buildings is complete, the next time an Osgoode tenant opens the Osgoode app, the Zonetail marketplace will be right there, on the landing page.
Tenants will then enjoy access to a wide range of unique offerings from local businesses in their surrounding area, such as restaurants, shopping, grocery, entertainment, health and beauty, and more. In addition, they will have access to numerous existing and upcoming features offered from Zonetail partners that include home and concierge services via ROAR, delivery options from restaurants, grocery and other retailers via MealMe, essential services offered from Rogers, Apollo Insurance, Nerds on Site and many others.
“We’re very excited to launch the Zonetail marketplace across our communities,” said Brent Gorman, Sr. Marketing Manager for Osgoode Properties. “Zonetail’s software fits well with our philosophy of putting people first and is another example of how our approach to personalized care combined with smart technology-driven solutions can enhance the lifestyle and wellbeing of our tenants.”
“The best property management companies are the ones that recognize that the industry is changing and have the foresight to stay ahead of the curve,” said Mark Holmes, CEO of Zonetail. “It’s clear why Osgoode Properties is a step above the rest, as they continue to search out opportunities to improve the rental experience and make their tenants feel at home.” Holmes went on to say, “Zonetail’s marketplace, with its emphasis on the local community, helps fulfill this goal, because at the end of the day, people don’t just live in a building, they live in a neighbourhood.”
The Company reports that the work has already begun, and it is expected that the Osgoode properties will go ‘live’ with the Zonetail marketplace in the coming days.
