For housing cooperatives

Participation depends on the information actually arriving

A housing cooperative lives on having a say, and that needs people who know what is going on. This page shows what the stairwell screen changes about that.

What Quartiero is, in one paragraph

A digital notice board for the stairwell: a touch screen in an apartment building that your office maintains through a portal in the browser. It shows notices, house rules and everyday services, and a change is in the building a few minutes later. The device arrives pre-assembled and brings its own internet.

Does any of this sound familiar?

  1. A circular email only reaches whoever is on the list

    The situation

    Not every member has an address on file with you, and not every address is current. Whoever is missing finds out by chance, or not at all.

    What changes

    The screen hangs in the stairwell and reaches everyone living there. No list, no address, no login.

  2. Older members without a smartphone drop out

    The situation

    Anything that goes out only digitally never arrives with part of the residents. That part has often been there the longest.

    What changes

    A screen on the wall needs no device and no account. Whoever walks past sees it.

  3. Events and participation get lost in daily life

    The situation

    The courtyard party notice hangs next to the renovation note and the laundry schedule, and after two weeks nobody sees it any more.

    What changes

    The screen changes what it shows. What is coming up is at the front, and what is over disappears on the date you set.

  4. Not everyone in the building reads the same language

    The situation

    A notice goes out in one language while the building speaks several. Whoever cannot read it will not follow it either.

    What changes

    The screen works with images and symbols where text does not carry, and the content is set per building.

The questions that come before the contract

What does the device need in the building?

A socket in the stairwell. Nothing else. It arrives pre-assembled and brings its own internet through a built-in cellular modem, so no connection in the building is needed. Mounting and plugging it in is a caretaker job, no technical knowledge required.

What if someone damages the screen?

In the all-round package the device stays our property and we cover maintenance and replacement. If an unknown person damages or steals it, we replace it once you report the incident to the police and send us a copy of the report. On a purchase the statutory warranty and the manufacturer guarantee apply.

How long am I tied in?

You cancel to the end of the month, there is no minimum term. A purchased screen stays yours, only the monthly licence ends. The details are in the terms.

You can fill the basket now. To order we then need an account, an organisation and your billing details; the basket survives all of that.
