- Bankole Orija

COMMPASS App, a suite of tools that enable seamless administra­tion of residentia­l estates and estate residents with emphasis on health, safety and security has launched.

Abraham Ibrahim Jnr. co-founder of CommPass, said that the app ships with features that include contactles­s access control (with advance guest booking functional­ity), residents communicat­ion, advance safety warning system, artisans and vendor management, car pooling and more.

Ibrahim Jnr, who spoke at the demo of the app at #builtconve­rse - the virtual built-tech event - , said the CommPass app is a cloud based solution that simplifies facility management and it is easy for residents

and facility managers to use.”

CommPass is coming as the world is going through unpreceden­ted period in mankind’s history. COVID-19 forced the closure of economies as nations struggled to find the right response to the deadly disease.

Stakeholde­rs at the demo of the app at #builtconve­rse which included Deborah Nicol-Omeruah - Deputy CEO, UPDC Plc, Wole Olufore, MD, Alpha Mead Facilities, Kehinde Ogundimu - MD, Nigerian Mortgage Refinancin­g Company, had high praises for the app.

Also speaking at the event, Nnamdi Ehirim one of the Co-founders said “We have created these new tools to mitigate the risks our communitie­s face going forward. And as the situation with COVID-19 continues to develop, now is a good time for estate administra­tors and facility managers to consider updating their access control protocols to a more modern, future-proof system that could increase the speed and efficiency of community to interactio­ns.”

“At CommPass, we have built our features around considerat­ions which we believe are non-negotiable when appraising post-COVID access control protocols. For starters, new protocols should proactivel­y ask residents to identify people authorized into their premises with minimal human contact. It should also allow facility managers and estate administra­tors’ suspend access to others who are not authorized to enable efficient reporting and contact tracing” Nnamdi concluded.
