Latch Expands Platform into Office Sector

Latch, Inc. has expanded its full-building enterprise software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, LatchOS, into commercial offices. LatchOS for offices is launching with Latch Visitor Express, a new contactless visitor entry system. 

The Midtown South-based company says that with Latch Visitor Express, office buildings can expect to cut lobby traffic from people waiting in line by over half. Latch Visitor Express pilots are set to launch at Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building and Brookfield Place. 

“Latch Visitor Express is an exciting first step in the rollout of LatchOS for commercial office buildings large and small,” said Latch CEO Luke Schoenfelder. “The biggest back-to-office moment in history is around the corner, and Latch’s products will ensure that office building staff, tenants, and visitors will experience seamless, contactless building entry and visitor management from day one.” 

LatchOS for offices will be available directly from Latch and also through Latch-certified installers across North America.
