Section 8 Housing Project Creates Market Opportunity for Louisiana Dealer
Lafayette Locksmith and Security in Lafayette, La. traditionally focused on door locks and locksmith activities, but last fall Joel Broussard, vice president of operations, and Brian Lavelle, security operations manager, found a product offering they believed could not only solve problems for their multi-tenant housing clients, but also potentially open up a whole new business opportunity for the company.
The Helix security system from Resolution Products was attractive to the dealer because of its low cost and ease of installation, Lavelle said. “We started working with Resolution Products late last year around October. Personally I had used their translators and sensors, so when I heard about a new wireless product that could connect to IP it was a big interest to me to be able to save cost by having the Internet connection in the home. You don’t have to purchase a separate cell module. They sent me a demo kit to install and it was really easy. You just put it into learn mode and it does most of the work for you. It is easy for a new tech to learn. When you have to do multiple units quickly, that was to us a good solution.”
