Bulk Internet

Great Lakes Capital prides itself on not only meeting the strategic needs of its clients but also helping properties provide a seamless resident and on-site staff experience. While it knew a bulk internet deployment was crucial to increasing the value of its multifamily properties, successfully implementing bulk technology programs was challenging.

Utilizing a third party like Onboard to provide end-to-end management and support its bulk tech programs was the answer to Great Lakes Capital’s challenges. Onboard worked closely with the nation’s leading service providers to negotiate, develop, and implement a bulk internet program at a scale that suited Great Lakes Capital’s needs and existing portfolio.

Now, residents gain access to high-speed internet through a seamless onboarding experience, thanks to Onboard. Meanwhile, on-site teams don’t need to field resident inquiries or manage technical issues—Onboard covers all of these tasks.

The Onboard partnership has become central to Great Lakes Capital's business. For new developments or acquisitions, Great Lakes Capital automatically involves Onboard in the process. By leveraging Onboard as its trusted technology partner, the Great Lakes team can understand what tech to use, as well as how to customize the technology amenity for a particular asset.
