About Igloohome

Igloohome (also known as iglooco) is a Singapore-based smart access company launched in 2016 by Anthony Chow and Kelvin Ho. Their vision was born out of real-world hosting challenges, particularly with platforms like Airbnb, where handing over physical keys was inefficient and insecure. The solution? A range of award-winning smart locks that work both online and offline using a patented AlgoPIN™ technology, which allows users to generate time-sensitive PIN codes without needing Wi-Fi.

With global recognition for innovation and design, Igloohome products have received:
• IF Design Awards (multiple years)
• CES Innovation Awards
• Use in over 300,000 properties worldwide, from homes to hotels and self-storage facilities

Their locks have been trusted by major property brands, government housing developments, and even tested in space—with the Smart Padlock 2 becoming the first of its kind launched into orbit in 2023.

Led with Purpose

Under Donavan’s leadership, Agent Zero has grown into a trusted name in South Africa’s smart home and property tech space. Our strength lies in understanding what products will thrive in this region and also backing them with the right infrastructure, support, and knowledge.

We’re committed to helping South Africans unlock a more secure, convenient lifestyle. Whether it’s a family in need of a keyless front door, an Airbnb host looking for better guest access, or a self-storage company upgrading to smart padlocks.

The Road Ahead

As the smart access landscape evolves, so do we. Agent Zero continues to expand its reach while staying committed to service, simplicity, and integrity. Our promise remains consistent. We are bringing the future of access or smart home to South Africa. Responsibly, reliably, and with zero hassle.
