What Klevio does

Klevio Limited is a London-based, privately-held smart access control company founded in 2016 that retrofits existing locks with connected hardware, enabling remote, keyless entry through a smartphone app and a web-based operational dashboard. Its technology is built around three integrated components: a Wi-Fi/4G-connected hardware device installed at each property, a smartphone app serving as the user's digital key, and an operational dashboard that supports digital key issuance, revocation, time-limited permissions, bulk user import, and access event logging. The company is compatible with incumbent access control infrastructure (Paxton, BPT, URMET) and exposes an API for HR and meeting-room integrations, allowing it to layer onto existing building systems without lock replacement.

The company originated as a custom solution for luxury short-let operator onefinestay, giving founders direct exposure to large-scale key management problems; commercial sales launched in London in 2018 following two years of R&D. Target verticals span short-term lets and Airbnb operators, residential property management companies, offices, shared spaces (gyms, studios, coworking), and commercial/retail buildings, with individual homeowner deployments through the Klevio One product. GTM is sales-led: a direct sales team quotes per-property and per-keyholder pricing, demos prospects via the website, and manages installations through an in-house field team plus a customer-trained installer network. Revenue is a hybrid of one-time hardware device sales and recurring 'business package' subscriptions tied to support, dashboard access, and health monitoring.

Klevio is a private limited company registered in England and Wales (company no. 09971722), headquartered in London with an engineering and R&D office in Ljubljana, Slovenia. It has raised disclosed seed funding from Blue Wire Capital and Salica alongside prominent UK angels that previously backed its co-founders' prior startups. Its named customer base spans property managers (Urang, Perch, Charles Hope, Residently), venture capital offices (LocalGlobe), corporates (Transport for London, Yulife), and small businesses (Platoon Studios, Trussle, Floom, Harper Concierge), with the company reporting 1000+ properties under management.

Core offering

Klevio sells a smart access control system that retrofits existing locks into smart locks. The solution consists of a hardware device installed at the property (connecting via Wi-Fi or 4G), a smartphone app acting as a digital key, and a web-based operational dashboard for administrators to share, revoke, and monitor digital keys. It enables remote door unlocking, time-limited key sharing, and event logging for businesses managing multiple properties.

Product overview

Klevio is a complete smart access control solution that transforms existing locks into smart locks. The offering consists of three integrated components: (1) the Klevio Hardware Device, installed at properties to enable keyless entry via Wi-Fi or 4G connectivity; (2) the Klevio Smartphone App, which serves as the digital key allowing users to unlock doors and share access with others; and (3) the Klevio Dashboard, a web-based operational platform for administrators to manage keys, monitor access events, and configure access permissions. These three products work together to deliver remote keyless access control for businesses and property managers.

Direct peers

• Latch: Smart access platform focused on multifamily and commercial buildings with managed access, software dashboards, and resident apps — comparable to Klevio's property management and offices verticals.
• Brivo: Cloud-based access control SaaS serving commercial real estate, property managers, and offices with mobile credentials, dashboards, and integrations — directly comparable to Klevio's operational dashboard and B2B access-control software layer.
• RemoteLock: Cloud access control platform unifying multiple smart-lock brands for short-term rentals, vacation rentals, and commercial property managers — a close competitor to Klevio's multi-property key-sharing and time-limited-key model.
• igloohome: Singapore-headquartered smart lock and key management platform targeting short-term rental operators and property managers with time-limited digital keys — directly comparable to Klevio's short-let and RMA use cases.
• Nuki: Austrian smart lock company that retrofits existing European-profile cylinders with a connected device and offers a smartphone-key model targeting short-term rentals, offices, and property managers — the closest analog to Klevio's retrofit + digital-key approach in Europe.

Broad incumbents

• Salto Systems: Established electronic access control provider for commercial buildings, hospitality, and coworking; competes in the commercial and shared-spaces segments Klevio targets, but at much larger scale and via proprietary hardware.
• Assa Abloy: Global leader in access solutions, owner of Yale, August, and HID; competes broadly with Klevio in residential and commercial smart locking and represents the dominant incumbent Klevio must partner with or differentiate against.
• August Home (Yale/August by Assa Abloy): Pioneer of the retrofit smart lock category in the US, now part of Assa Abloy/Yale; competes with Klevio's residential and small-business smart-lock proposition but at much larger scale and through a hardware-led, retail-channel model.

Emerging players

• Tedee: European smart lock retrofit device with a smartphone-key app and integrator-friendly API; narrower scale than Klevio but overlapping retrofit+app proposition for residential and small-business use cases.
• Bold Smart Locks: Niche smart lock vendor offering app-managed digital keys for residential and small multi-tenant properties; partial overlap with Klevio's residential segment but a smaller-scale emerging player.
