The platform that
pays for itself.
Connect is the Centro infrastructure layer — messaging, access, packages, amenity reservations, common-area controls. The basics every modern building needs, delivered as one platform. Operational savings cover the subscription. You get the infrastructure as a free benefit.
What Connect Foundation gives you
The basics every modern building needs — in one platform.
No ROI spreadsheet. No value model. Connect is the operating layer you'd build anyway with three or four separate vendors. Centro consolidates it into one platform that pays for itself.
Messaging
Two-way communication between guests/residents and staff. Service requests, package notifications, amenity inquiries — structured, async, searchable.
Access
QR codes, wallet passes, timed visitor access. No fobs to manage, no key drops at reception. Lock-and-door integration ready when you want it.
Packages
Auto-notification on delivery. Resident self-collection from lockers or front desk. Less staff handling, faster pickup, audit trail end to end.
Amenity reservations
Common-area bookings, parking, EV charging, function rooms. Stripe-ready for paid bookings. Calendar conflicts handled.
Notifications & notices
Broadcast announcements to all residents/guests. Building-wide alerts, maintenance updates, community programming. Replaces printed notices.
Branded guest/resident app
No app-store download required — web-based, your branding, your colours. Works on phone, tablet, in-room display.
The pricing rationale
$10 per unit per month — replaces 3–4 vendors.
Most modern buildings stack ButterflyMX (intercom), Latch (locks), SmartRent (thermostats), AmenityBook (reservations) — paying $15–25 per unit per month across the lot. Centro Connect Foundation consolidates the resident-experience layer at $10 per unit per month. The savings cover the subscription.
3–4 vendors, fragmented data, multiple admin systems
One platform, one bill, one admin
Connect plus full revenue stack — adds ROI value model

Start with Connect. Grow into Activate.
Most buildings start on Connect for the platform, then upgrade to Activate (per-property value model from $148K annual value) once the engagement layer is live. No re-platforming required.
