Complex key management simplified
The number of assets continues to grow, the number of new technologies continues to grow, but also the complexity to manage these assets properly continues to grow! When we think of key management, we often think of buildings and doors, but in the meantime we also talk about vehicles, safes, mailboxes, storage cabinets, equipment, utility cabinets, ...
All these assets have their own way of opening. Think of keys, badges, codes, padlocks, ... That is why a good key management system is very important to ensure that the right people have the right keys at the right time to open something somewhere.
What are the risks of traditional key management?
The biggest risk is that it often involves manual processes, with the distribution of physical keys, the maintenance of logbooks and complex excel sheets.
If you then have different electrical smart solutions, you then still have to work with different management systems.
This approach ensures
Limited overview and control: you do not know in real time who has which key and where it is located.
Security risks: Physical keys can be easily lost or copied.
Inefficiency: Managing large numbers of keys and the administration surrounding them is extremely time-consuming and carries a high risk of errors.
The consequences? Higher costs, dissatisfaction and valuable loss of time
Things that have definitely happened before:
the key gets lost
they forget to return the key
they have been given the wrong key
the code to enter somewhere does not change and is the same for everyone
the code to enter somewhere changes and they have not given the new code
the employee has forgotten his badge
...
Smart key management
To simplify this process and ensure security, you need a smart key management system.
A key management system is not only a solution to the challenge of traditional management, but also forms an integral part of a good security and asset management policy. In addition, it also opens up opportunities to optimize other processes (such as delivery processes).
What is essential?
Central management: manage all your keys from one dashboard and ensure real-time visibility into who has which key or rights, regardless of the technology used.
User rights: the right person at the right time, the right rights.
Reporting: gain insights into the use of your assets and view detailed audit trails.
Integrability: another platform? No, a modern key management system can be integrated with existing technologies.
