Every building on your network, a channel residents open every day
Short answer
Unitify for telecom operators is a building platform that runs under the operator's brand. Building managers already run their HOAs, condominiums and owners' associations in Unitify, so their news, requests, votes, intercom calls and guest access reach residents inside the operator's app. The operator chooses the format: a module in its own app, an API, or its products inside the manager's workspace.
Your network already reaches the building. Unitify brings the building's daily life into your app: the intercom, guest access, the manager's news, requests, owner votes and the building's bills, with your field teams on the hardware and your brand on every screen.
Why does an operator stop at the building's door?
An operator has the cable in the building and a technician on call, but no one in the building to sign with and no reason for residents to open its app between bills. Both come from the building's manager: the notices, the requests, the owners' votes, the intercom and the guest list. Unitify is the system where the manager runs them, so they can appear under your brand.
A national telecom operator is taking Unitify to property developers. Another operator runs intercoms and cameras for residents in the Unitify resident app.
What does a telecom operator get from Unitify?
Nine things in the operator's own product line. Each comes with what we would measure in a pilot. None of them is a promised result.
- 1
Daily reasons to open your app
Guests at the door, the manager's news with push, request status, votes, passes, bookings and the building's report. The building's manager creates them, so your team does not.
- 2
Intercom, video and access as your service
Door panels, intercoms, cameras and barriers with SIP, an HTTP API or ONVIF connect to the resident app. Your field teams install and service the hardware. A hardware fault reported in Unitify becomes a ticket for your field team. The monthly charge can be a line on the building's bill. In new projects it is planned with the developer, next to your fiber.
- 3
A contract with the whole building
The manager keeps the register of apartments and owners, publishes reports and runs owner polls and votes in the app. You get a counterparty in the building and a way to put a house-wide offer in front of every owner.
- 4
Broadband sold where residents already are
Your plans, routers and TV offers sit in the building service residents open every day, not in a leaflet in the lobby.
- 5
Building payments through your wallet
Where you run a wallet or payment app, it can be connected as the payment rail for the building's charges. The money lands on the account of the building or its manager.
- 6
Your B2B products for the management company
Connectivity for the office and the building, mobile plans for staff and technicians, IoT SIMs for meters, cameras and barriers, built into the manager's workspace.
- 7
Messages and calls on your network
Unitify already sends SMS, email, push and Telegram messages. Your SMS gateway and phone numbers can carry them, and the AI concierge answers residents in chat and on calls. A person approves actions; every answer is logged.
- 8
Services at the door
One-time QR access for couriers and guests, and repairs and services ordered and paid in the app. A place for your partners' services.
- 9
Building data, with consent
A structured record of each building through a public API: entrances, apartments, equipment. Any use of a resident's personal data needs the resident's consent and follows local law.
What does a resident see in your app?
One list works in every building on Unitify. The other depends on the building's hardware.

How can an operator offer Unitify to its subscribers?
Three formats, all ready. You choose the format. The timeline follows it and your own security review: name the format, and we give you a date.
- 1
A module inside your app
The resident side of Unitify runs inside your app as a mini-app, a deep link or a set of screens. Residents sign in with your ID, and the manager keeps working in Unitify. If your app already holds many residents, this is the strong option: they are already there.
- 2
Your own interface on our API
Your team builds the screens on our public GraphQL API and webhooks, with OpenID Connect sign-in. Your design, your release cycle.
- 3
Your products inside the manager's workspace
Connectivity, mobile plans, IoT SIMs, messaging and payments are built into the web workspace where the management company works. Everyone there sees them, not only the accountant.
How this works
How do an operator's products work inside a management company's workspace?
A management company buys connectivity and phones like any small business, through a separate portal that one person opens. In Unitify the company works in a web workspace all day: the director, the building managers, the dispatcher, the technicians and the accountant. We build your products into that workspace, next to the buildings and the equipment they serve. Everyone who works there sees them.
Connectivity
Internet for the office and for each building: shared Wi-Fi, uplinks for cameras and access control, shown next to the building it serves.
Devices and IoT SIMs
Each building has a register of its equipment, tied to the entrance, floor or room, with work orders and a maintenance plan. Your SIMs and gateways sit next to the devices they connect.
Messages and voice
SMS to residents and the phone line the AI concierge answers, on your network.
Payments
Your wallet or acquiring next to the resident's bill.
The workspace is ready today; each of your products is connected to it one at a time, together with your team. Unitify does not install hardware and does not hold residents' money.
Does Unitify also do billing, reporting and reports to residents?
Yes, and it is wider than billing. The money of a building is shown in three places, from the same data.
- 1
Billing
Charges, invoices, payments and arrears for each building, with the resident's bill in the app. A monthly intercom or video service can be its own line on the bill. Where a building already has a billing system, Unitify reads the bills from it.
Billing in Unitify - 2
Management reporting
Income and spending for each building and for the management company as a whole: what was collected, what was spent, what is owed and what sits on the accounts.
- 3
Reports to residents
A monthly report in the resident's app and on the building's page: where the money went. A sample for a typical building is on the residents' page.

How does Unitify connect to an operator?
Sign-in
Through your customer ID, over OpenID Connect. The resident adds their apartment once.
Hardware
Intercoms, panels, gates, cameras and controllers that expose SIP, an HTTP API or ONVIF are connected under a project. We check the exact model first; hardware with no interface cannot be connected.
Intercoms and access controlNetwork and field service
The line runs at the gateway: you own the network, the SIMs and the field service, the vendor supplies the devices, and Unitify owns the software. Unitify does not install hardware. A hardware fault reported in Unitify becomes a ticket for your field team.
Payments
Through your wallet or your acquiring partner, into the account of the building or its manager. Unitify does not hold residents' money and is not a payment institution.
Payment rails and bank feedsData
Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan run on local servers in the country, the EU on servers in Düsseldorf, Germany, and other markets are agreed per deployment. On request the data can be stored in your country or on your own servers, priced per project.
Security and dataBuildings
We connect the buildings, train managers and board chairs, and support residents. A building goes live in one to two days once we have its list of apartments, and residents install the app from a QR code.
Who owns the network inside a building?
One verified example, from Italy. Whoever runs the building day to day is the person an operator talks to.
Italy
Art. 1117 of the Civil Code lists the common parts of the building, and does so unless the title shows otherwise. The list is arranged in three groups, each introduced by "such as", so the named items are examples rather than a closed set: the parts necessary for common use (the land the building stands on, foundations, load-bearing walls, pillars and beams, roofs and flat roofs, stairs, entrance doors, vestibules, passages, porticoes, courtyards and façades); parking areas and premises for common services (porter's lodge and the porter's flat, laundry, drying rooms, attics destined for common use by their structural and functional characteristics); and works and installations destined for common use (lifts, wells, cisterns, water and sewage systems, centralised gas, electricity, heating and air-conditioning systems, radio and television reception and access to any other kind of information flow), up to the branch point serving individually owned premises or, for unitary systems, up to the point of use.
Who is behind Unitify, and what has it run?
Unitify's founder previously ran a residential management company serving 20,000 residents, then built a platform that reached 10,000 management companies and 5M+ apartments, then exited.
At Ande Tower in Batumi (about 500 apartments), collections rose from 40% to 80% of monthly charges over six months, and requests are handled three times faster. At Avant Park in Baku (1,000 apartments), the share of collected monthly payments made through the resident app grew from 19% in June 2026 to 74% in August 2026.
A developer in Nairobi sent spreadsheets with layouts and floor plans, and Unitify's AI built the building in the system, 15 entrances, 138 floors in total and 510 apartments, in seconds.
The founder's previous platform was acquired by a major financial institution. There, building managers' news reached residents inside that bank's app, and the bank's relationship managers offered the platform to their clients.
An operator can play the same part: it already has a relationship with every household and a team that reaches every building.
What does a pilot with an operator look like?
We start on live buildings where your network already runs, without exclusivity. Over a pilot of a few months we report the numbers you choose: residents who added their home in your app and how often they open it, apartments using intercom and video through you, the share of the buildings' payments through your wallet, and new or upgraded subscriptions in those buildings. You decide on the next step from your own data.

Frequently asked questions
What does a telecom operator get from Unitify?
Daily reasons to open your app, intercom, video and access as your own service, a counterparty in each building, and your broadband, B2B and payment products where residents and managers already work. We measure each of these in a pilot on your own data.
Do we have to run buildings or build an app ourselves?
No. Building managers run their buildings in Unitify, and we connect them, train them and support residents. Your team decides the format and passes the security review.
Does Unitify have its own resident app?
Yes. Unitify has its own resident app, and managers use it today. An operator whose app already holds many residents can embed the same features in that app instead, and for such an operator it is the strong option. Both work.
In which formats can an operator offer it?
As a module inside your app, as your own interface on our API, or as your products built into the manager's web workspace. It can also run as a separate app under your brand. White label is a paid option, so the format sets the cost and the timeline.
Which intercoms and cameras can be connected?
Hardware that exposes SIP, an HTTP API or ONVIF, connected under a project after we check the exact model. Hardware with no integration interface cannot be connected. More on the intercoms and access control page.
Who installs and services the hardware?
Your field teams or the hardware vendor. Unitify connects to devices through their interfaces and owns the software; it does not install hardware. A hardware fault reported in Unitify becomes a ticket for your field team.
Can residents pay building charges through our wallet?
Yes, where you run a wallet or payment app: it is connected as a payment rail, and the money lands on the account of the building or its manager. Unitify is software, not a payment institution.
Does the AI concierge answer calls?
Yes. It answers residents in chat and on calls; telephony is connected per project, and your phone numbers can carry it. Unitify also sends SMS, email, push and Telegram messages today. More on the messaging channels page.
How do residents sign in?
Through your customer ID, over OpenID Connect. The resident adds their apartment once.
Where is the data stored?
Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan run on local servers in the country, the EU on servers in Düsseldorf, Germany, and other markets are agreed per deployment. Your country or your own servers are available on request. More on the security page.
Is Unitify a telecom company, and does it need our network?
No. Unitify is software for running residential buildings: a resident app, a web workspace for building managers, billing and reporting, and integrations with building hardware. It runs on any network. With an operator, the resident side carries the operator's brand, and the operator's network, SIMs and field teams carry the building's devices.
How fast can a pilot start?
A building goes live in one to two days once we have its list of apartments. The in-app integration timeline depends on the format you choose and your security review: name the format, and we give you a date.
Is this exclusive?
No. A pilot starts on live buildings without exclusivity.
What does it cost?
Plans for building managers are on the pricing page. White label and integration formats are priced after a short brief.
