The main types of key management systems for business security | KEYper

Types of key management security systems explained

Security cameras

Anyone who’s ever watched a film about a bank heist is probably very familiar with surveillance cameras and the role they play in business security. 

Not just for jewelry stores, these intelligent tools offer an extra pair of eyes for any business with high-value assets, like a car dealership with a huge parking lot and numerous blindspots. Modern versions will have a range of features to deter would-be criminals and notify you immediately of an intrusion so that you can contact the authorities as soon as possible.

Intelligent cabinets

Firms dealing with car sales and rentals, which often have a large number of car keys and very valuable assets, should couple security cameras with electronic cabinets. These incredibly versatile systems allow you to track and control the use and movement of your assets.

Smart software

What gives intelligent key cabinets some of their power? Intelligent software. This tool offers you visibility over your inventory at all times, no matter where you are in the world, by allowing you to manage your keys remotely at just the click of a button.

7 of the main benefits of key management systems for businesses 

1. Control who has access to your keys

This is highly beneficial to sectors with assets that pose a risk to life if misused, such as car dealerships or logistic firms employing heavy trucks.

2. Track the movement and use of your assets

Make taking inventory of every vehicle on your lot easy with smart software. Plus, any firm that has keys regularly changing hands, like home rentals or car sales, can use asset management to maintain visibility over their high-value ites.

3. Hold employees accountable

Sales people are less likely to drive erratically during demonstrations or return a vehicle to the dealership late if they know their boss is tracking their use of a key.

4. Peace of mind when you’re away

Even when you’re off-site, you can have eyes on your assets thanks to mobile administration with detailed analytics.

5. Schedule asset reservations

Keep working life organized and stress-free by allowing sales staff to book out cars for test drives and transfer key ownership in the field.

6. Automate tasks

Speed up day-to-day processes while reducing the change of human error when signing keys and equipment in and out.

7. Deter criminals

Cameras can light up blindspots in large parking lots, and alert the authorities immediately when an intrusion occurs, increasing your chances of retrieving cars and expensive equipment.
