Octopus, a Gentle Creature to Serve Our Tenants

Having already undergone several weeks of testing at Mostra Longueuil, this gentle Octopus is beginning to extend its tentacles into the multi-residential buildings in the Province of Quebec.

This application developed exclusively for Cogir is designed to make tenants’ lives easier with its various options, such as service calls, real-time communication with the building (e.g. water service interruptions), on-line reservations of common areas and shared electric car (where offered), lists of building events and activities and a bulletin board where tenants can offer to buy or sell goods and services.

Not only does this application make life easier, but it also allows for follow-up and feedback on service calls.

It is quite easy to sign up for Octopus. Every tenant receives an invitation to the e-mail address shown on the lease. The tenant then needs only to follow the steps to adopt this gentle creature and learn to use it.

Implementation throughout the province of Quebec should be completed by the end of 2020. The use of this application is currently being considered for areas outside the province of Quebec, taking into account the leasing differences.
