Hissi

The building app for landlords and residents

For landlords and property managers, it makes a building simpler to run: notices, repairs, shared facilities and safety in one place. For residents, everything about where they live is one tap away.

  • Notices with translations and read receipts
  • Repair requests with photos that reach the right person
  • Bookings for the laundry room and other shared facilities
  • Safety numbers and emergency alerts
  • Rent invoices and contracts, ready to switch on (coming soon)

Hissi comes from the Nordic word for a lift: it takes you to every floor.

About

Why a laundry bear?

In Swedish a raccoon is a tvättbjörn, a “laundry bear”. It felt like the right name for something that began in a shared laundry room, with neighbours forgetting their clothes in the machine.

A reminder became a web page, the web page became apps, and the apps grew from one floor to a whole building. Everything here is built by a resident, shaped by neighbours' feedback, and made to be simple, kind and careful with people's data.
