igloo (legally igloocompany Pte Ltd, known to consumers as igloohome) is a Singapore-founded smart access company building keyless, offline-capable smart locks, padlocks and keyboxes plus the cloud software to manage them at scale. Born out of two founders' frustration with handing over physical keys to Airbnb guests, the company's patented algoPIN/algoPass technology generates time-bound PIN codes and digital keys that work without WiFi at the lock. Today igloo serves both consumers and enterprises - through its iglooworks and iglooaccess platforms - across 80+ countries, syncing with Airbnb, Vrbo and hundreds of property-management systems.
