Your tenants' utility data. In Chainels.
Rhino connects to your submeters across electricity, gas, water, and heat. Consumption data flows into Chainels via secure API. Your tenants see their usage in the app they already use. No extra logins, no separate dashboard.
Rhino is the data layer behind Chainels.
Chainels is the community and engagement platform trusted by residential and commercial portfolios across Europe. Property managers use it for service requests, community communication, and facility workflows. The Rhino integration extends Chainels with something tenants increasingly expect: accurate, live utility consumption data. What Chainels needs to show real numbers: a reliable submeter feed from every building. That's what Rhino delivers.
Rhino reads your submeters
Rhino connects to existing meters via utility network APIs or on-site hardware. Electricity, gas, water, and heat across every building. Data arrives automatically on a configured schedule with no manual reads required.
Secure API to Chainels
Every reading is timestamped, validated, and normalized before leaving Rhino. The data Chainels receives is always complete and always current. No manual exports, no CSV uploads, no reconciliation.
Tenants see it in Chainels
Electricity, gas, water, and heat consumption appears directly in the Chainels platform your tenants already use for service requests and community updates. No separate login. No new app to install.
From your submeters to your tenants. Four steps.
Once Rhino is connected, the data flow to Chainels is fully automated. No manual steps, no periodic uploads, no reconciliation between systems.
What changes when your tenants can see it.
Consumption visibility changes the landlord-tenant dynamic on utilities. It removes disputes, supports ESG claims at the building level, and gives tenants something they increasingly expect from their property manager.
Consumption visible per unit
Tenants see their own electricity, gas, water, and heat usage in Chainels. Not a building-level aggregate. Their unit's actual consumption, updated automatically. They can benchmark by period and see what's driving costs.
No friction for tenants
Data lands in Chainels, where tenants already go for service requests and community updates. No separate login, no new platform to learn, no separate enrollment. The data simply appears.
Billing disputes resolved at source
When a tenant questions a bill, the answer is a meter reading and a timestamp, not an estimate. Actual submeter data behind every charge removes the ambiguity that causes disputes in the first place.
Contributes to your S score
Tenant engagement and consumption transparency count toward the Social pillar in GRESB. Giving tenants visibility into their own usage, through a platform they already use, is a measurable, documentable act of engagement. Rhino makes the data flow automatic so the S score benefit costs your team nothing extra.
Benchmark and compare
Tenants can compare their consumption across periods and identify where their usage spikes. That visibility drives behavior change without requiring any action from the property manager beyond setting up the Rhino connection.
No infrastructure overhaul
Rhino connects to your existing meter estate. Software-only connection via utility APIs where possible; hardware on-site where not. Most buildings are live within weeks. Nothing needs replacing or retrofitting.
The platform your tenants already use.
Chainels is a community and engagement platform used by residential and commercial property managers across Europe. It centralizes community communication, service requests, package management, and facility workflows in one interface tenants access from their phone or browser.
The Rhino integration adds live utility consumption data to that interface. Tenants see what they consume. Managers get an automated data flow for ESG reporting, dispute resolution, and cost allocation. The two platforms are complementary: Chainels owns the tenant relationship, Rhino owns the meter data.
