Centro announces appointment as official Crestron partner

Smart building app developer forges strategic partnership with Crestron to give end-

users wider capabilities

Edinburgh, Scotland, August 2024 - Centro, developers of an intuitive smart

building app designed for the education, hospitality, residential and corporate

markets, has just announced its appointment as an official Crestron partner. The

partnership marks a key step in Centro’s journey to revolutionising the connected

user experience in any number of modern environments.

“Our partnership with Crestron reinforces the message that, with Centro, users can

experience truly seamless connected environments with access to shared resources,

services and building systems,” explains Tony Howards, Co-Founder at Centro.

“Centro can run on existing Crestron platforms, already popular in MDUs, residences

and some hospitality environments, to bring together a multitude of communication

channels into a single user interface, whether that’s a user’s mobile device or a

Crestron touch screen.”

Centro has already appeared in Crestron’s booths at recent trade shows, including

ISE, Sydney Build and InfoComm 2024. Attendees were able to experience, first-

hand, the integration of Centro’s smart app into the familiar user interfaces of a

Crestron or Crestron Home solution in both a hotel and MDU setting.

“Simply put, Centro enables complex environments, such as MDUs, hotels or office

blocks, to offer their users a more connected and consistent user experience,”

continues Howard. “On the other hand, building management or concierge benefit

from a single source of truth and an easy-to-navigate log of all communications,

requests or appointments going on in the environment, which has a positive effect on

overall efficiency. What’s equally exciting is that Centro is in the process of

integration with Crestron’s portfolio of scheduling solutions, so customers will be able

to seamlessly reserve a room or desk from the convenience of their PC or

Smartphone.”

“Crestron’s robust and scalable portfolio is meant to help people excel where they

live, work, and learn,” adds Bob Bavolacco, Director of Technology Partnerships at

Crestron. “Through our partnership with Centro, Crestron is able to enhance our

building management offerings by leaning on Centro’s expertise to deliver a

captivating user experience and additional features for our mutual customers to

enjoy.

Our partnership with Centro will ensure we continue to meet and exceed the

expectations of these customers in the residential, MDU, and hospitality markets.”
