SmartRent, a provider of smart home and property solutions to the rental housing industry, has announced a multi-year initiative with Databricks.

Under the agreement, SmartRent will integrate the Databricks Data + AI Platform as the foundational engine for its data architecture. The collaboration combines SmartRent’s physical scale with enterprise-grade data and AI capabilities to deliver insights and operational outcomes that benefit property owners, on-site teams, residents, single family and the multifamily industry.

Sangeeth Ponathil, Chief Information Officer of SmartRent, said, “By pairing the expansive reach of our physical infrastructure with the AI-driven property intelligence and workflow automation capabilities of the Databricks Data + AI Platform, we are building the next generation of property intelligence. Standardising our connected, live ecosystem onto a single, governed architecture gives us the technical foundation to scale sustainable innovations that lower operational complexity, maximise net operating income for operators and elevate the living experience for residents.”

Sarah Branfman, Global VP of ISV at Databricks, said, “Leveraging our Built On program, SmartRent will be able to de-risk and accelerate how they bring their leading solutions to market. By unifying their extensive, real-world IoT infrastructure under a secure and open architecture, SmartRent is well-positioned to deliver the next generation of property intelligence.”
