Keytracker lockers also use the same technology for out of hours collection and drop off of keys or equipment.
Your auto garage or dealership likely has expensive tools and equipment. With RFID technology and advanced software, you can keep better track of these items. Administrators can then review who checked which items out, providing greater accountability and security.
Steve Pearce, Operations Manager at Motor Range Liverpool, said:
“The Keytracker System has proved invaluable to us, since we have had the system in place we are able to track the whereabouts of every key on site and only authorised users can access the cabinet and retrieve the key that is securely locked in place, this control has meant that since having the system not a single key has been misplaced or lost.”
“We have also seen some fantastic operational benefits to having the system too, our team take more accountability to ensure the keys are returned, the system has had a favourable impact on insurance premiums and countless man-hours have been saved looking for lost or misplaced keys”
