BETHESDA, MD., DECEMBER 7, 2021
Brivo – the global leader in cloud-based access control and smart building technologies that recently entered into a definitive merger agreement with Crown PropTech Acquisitions (NYSE: CPTK), was recognized with two Security Sales & Integration (SSI) Supplier Stellar Service Awards including Gold Best Dealer Protection Policies and Bronze Best Technical Support in the manufacturer categories. Presented by SSI, the security industry’s premier technology and business source of trusted content, these awards recognize the security industry’s top performing products, manufacturers, wholesale distributors and third-party central station monitoring providers. Nominations for these awards are sourced directly from SSI’s dealer and integrator audience representing the views of actual dealers in the field and their experiences with various providers.
“The Supplier Stellar Service awards Brivo received demonstrate our decades-long commitment to delivering the highest caliber of service and support to our channel partner community of security system integrators and installers,” said Brivo Founder and CEO, Steve Van Till. “As we continue to grow and make strides in our journey as a global smart building company, this recognition is a testament to the fact that the quality of our partner program policies and technical support remain a priority.”
Brivo provides a business and economic model for channel partner growth that includes strong operational and technical support for its comprehensive product suite, which includes access control, smart readers, touchless mobile credentials, visitor management, occupancy monitoring, health and safety features, smart apartments and integrated video surveillance, smart locks, and intercoms. Valued for its simple installation, high-reliability backbone and rich API partner network, Brivo has the longest track record of cybersecurity audits and privacy protections in the industry.
SSI launched the Supplier Stellar Service Awards in 2021 to recognize suppliers that go above and beyond to deliver premium support and service. The purpose of the awards is also to create a valuable feedback loop for security dealers and integrators to communicate voice-of-the-customer opinions, according to the SSI website.
“We’re thrilled to kick off the Supplier Stellar Service Awards to honor outstanding customer support and service providers, like Brivo, that span a broad range of support and service areas,” said SSI Editor-in-Chief and Associate Publisher Scott Goldfine. “At Security Sales & Integration, we pride ourselves in being the security industry’s premier technology and business source of trusted content. The inauguration of these awards further solidifies our role as that voice.”

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, expectations related to the terms and timing of the proposed business combination.

Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Brivo and Crown. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed business combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed business combination or that the approval of the shareholders of Crown or Brivo is not obtained; the risk that the conditions to the financing for the proposed business combination may not be satisfied or waived; the risk that the combined company’s securities will not be approved for listed on the New York Stock Exchange or if approved, maintain the listing; and those factors discussed in Crown’s final prospectus dated February 8, 2021 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, dated August 16, 2021, and, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus of Crown related to the proposed business combination, in each case, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of Crown filed, or to be filed, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.
