The difference between a conventional product and a smart product is night and day. Often product managers consider the overall design of their products intensely - only to overlook the locking feature. What if simply transitioning from a conventional lock to a smart lock could distinguish your product for the rest of your category? LifeStyleLock is proud to introduce the compact F3 dual-mode smart lock platform. The F3 features two modes of access: wireless smartphone control via Bluetooth, and conventional key, all in a compact, economic form factor. The F3 locking platform includes everything OEMs need to advance their smart presence including the dual-mode smart lock module and iOS / Android software. LifeStyleLock will skin the apps to reflect the OEMs brand. LifeStyleLock first commercialized its proprietary lock platform in late 2016 on behalf of a Fortune 500 consumer brand. This consumer brand utilized the Bluetooth-enabled locking mechanism to lock / unlock a high value storage device. Suddenly, this otherwise conventional storage device became a smart, connected product. And the brand, that previously had a small app presence, now possessed a mission critical branded app that captured prominent, coveted real estate on the user's smartphone. By simply transitioning from a conventional cam lock to our dual-mode smart lock, this brand immediately differentiated itself as a technology leader in an otherwise legacy marketplace. And because LifeStyleLock's F3 supports conventional key access, in addition to wireless smartphone access, all users are accommodated. Our objective is a drop-in replacement for a traditional cam lock. A quick transition from the conventional to the connected - radically raising real solution value. It's also a simple way for a brand without an app presence to win coveted prominence on the smartphone. Contact Donald Blust for additional details: dblust@lifestylelock.com
