# ARK360 > ARK360 builds BTR OS, the AI-native build-to-rent platform. One platform. Total control. One product, one sector, with governance and compliance held from the first line of code. Founded by James Park, Principal Solution Architect, in Canberra and Sydney. ## About ARK360 is the company behind BTR OS. We bring twenty years of delivery across Tier 1 property, construction and federal government (ISM and IRAP) to an AI-native operating platform for Australian build-to-rent. Work is spec-first and eval-first, secure by design, and shipped into live operations rather than slide decks. Full story: https://www.ark360.com.au/company Platforms: Microsoft Azure, .NET, Microsoft Entra, Suprema BioStar Air, Claude, Power Platform, Microsoft 365, OutSystems, ServiceNow. ## Solutions - Operators: run the portfolio, not the spreadsheets. Every building in one console for access, residents, rent and analytics, with a single audit trail across every site. https://www.ark360.com.au/solutions/operators - On-site and community teams: less admin, more residents. Move-ins, visitors, bookings and arrears in a few clicks, with a complete audit trail. https://www.ark360.com.au/solutions/on-site-teams - Residents: one app for the whole building. Entry, visitors, amenity bookings and rent, without fobs or paper forms. https://www.ark360.com.au/solutions/residents - All solutions: https://www.ark360.com.au/solutions ## Products - BTR OS: the AI-native build-to-rent platform, live in pilot. Six modules run a building end to end from one governed console: Access control (keyless mobile credentials, visitor passes and door schedules), Resident lifecycle (onboarding, leasing, ID verification and documents), Visitors (time-boxed passes with a searchable entry trail), Amenities & bookings, Rent & payments (with arrears tracking and receipts), and Operator analytics (occupancy, arrears, access and amenity insight). Two layers cut across every module: Sentinel, a governed AI agent over 47 role-scoped tools that performs the same actions by chat and then voice (in build), and ArkOS governance, which puts Microsoft Entra identity, role-scoped permissions and one immutable audit trail under everything (live). Built on Microsoft Azure and .NET over Suprema BioStar Air hardware. Data residency in Australia, biometric handling aligned to the Privacy Act and OAIC guidance. No rip and replace: BTR OS drives Suprema BioStar Air readers and controllers, signs teams in with Microsoft Entra, and runs on Azure with Australian data residency. The resident journey runs end to end in one flow: application, ID verification, lease, credentials issued, move-in, then visitors, bookings and rent from one app. ARK360 is a Microsoft AI Cloud Partner in the ISV Success program, with a Microsoft Marketplace offer in progress. ARK360 is selecting a founding build-to-rent operator partner; pilots run the platform on one live building. Product page and pilot form: https://www.ark360.com.au/platform.
