Anne Arundel Acres is a high-end multi-family community in Kennett Square PA. Until recently, there weren’t enough hours in the day for Anne Arundel’s property manager, Molly, to get everything done. That’s all changed with pdqSMART, the new smart lock that makes her job easy, gives her tenants unfettered access to everything they need, and provides total accountability to the owners, all for a fraction of a big-name brand access control system.
