The Client

Bay View Residences

Bay View Residences manages three residential towers on Dubai’s waterfront, operating 40 elevators across the community.

THE BRIEF
  • Notices — fee reminders, maintenance windows, community rules — were printed and taped inside every lift, by hand.
  • Updates took days, and posters were often torn, outdated or inconsistent across towers.
  • Paper notices left no room for amenity promotions or ancillary revenue.
  • Management wanted one modern, centrally-controlled channel to reach every resident instantly.
