TOCHNO Group and Yandex to Develop Smart Buildings in 8 Regions

Yandex and the TOCHNO Group have signed a strategic partnership agreement. «Domiland,» Yandex«s largest proptech platform, and developer TOCHNO will develop a smart building project and launch a mobile application for residents of the developer»s residential complexes — both existing ones and those to be commissioned in the next three years.

Residents will be able to use the management company«s services via mobile phone. For example, to submit a request for appliance repair, pay utility bills, or issue a pass for the residential complex territory. The management company will be able to automate the work of the emergency dispatch service: all requests will go to a single center, and their execution deadlines will be clearly tracked using the system. Also, the management company will be able to offer residents additional services. The application will be launched in the second quarter of this year and will be available to residents of over 23,000 apartments in existing residential complexes of the developer in eight regions of the country.

«We believe that digitalizing services creates a new lifestyle culture for people, where all household issues are resolved with a few clicks, and the residential complex becomes a truly caring and safe space. Therefore, it is important that the TOCHNO Group is implementing smart technologies not only in planned residential complexes but also in the already built housing stock. Thanks to this, thousands of families will have the opportunity to use management company services in digital format, which affects the quality of life and increases loyalty to the developer,» said Daria Voronova, head of Yandex«s proptech platform.

Also, Yandex«s proptech platform will act as an expert in creating the developer»s flagship project — the «Patriki» residential complex. Subsequently, similar tech-enabled homes will appear in TOCHNO projects across Russia: from Moscow to the Black Sea coast.

Already at the project stage, the «Patriki» residential complex will incorporate modern smart building management technologies. For example, contactless access to the building, where doors to the residential complex territory and the entrance open automatically, and the elevator determines the required floor itself. To enter the residential complex territory and the entrance, residents won«t need to take out keys — a smartphone with the »Domiland« app will be sufficient.

Moreover, popular urban services from Yandex will be integrated with the smart building. For example, when arranging delivery or a taxi in Yandex Go, the system will automatically request a pass for the residential complex territory for the courier or driver. The courier will see a one-time code for the intercom in the app, and the barrier for taxis will open when the ordered car arrives. The joint smart building project will appear next year.

«The implementation of digital technologies in construction is one of the key elements of our company»s growth strategy. By 2027, we plan to increase investments in digitalization almost threefold. Automation and digitalization will become an integral part of our complexes. New tech-enabled services will appear, thanks to which people«s lives will become more interesting, comfortable, and safe. Together, we will create a new standard for our residential complexes, where the needs of modern people are taken into account,» said Anastasia Maslekha, director of the TOCHNO Group.
