A leading global car manufacturer adopted a key management solution at their large R&D site to effectively manage 600+ test vehicle keys. Integrated with the customer’s business systems, the solution helped enhance operations, security, and accountability.

With the key management solution in place, the customer safely and securely stores critical keys in key lockers whereby specific keys are made available to staff based on access level rights. Access can also be granted to staff after receiving an application via their business operations system.

Tracking devices embedded in the keys enhance efficiency by ensuring keys are always available to relevant staff. Moreover, time and money is not lost locating or replacing keys. The solution also helps the customer keep track of vehicle inventory and can provide the exact location of each vehicle, providing enhanced control and visibility. If a key goes missing, the key management solution can quickly identify who last accessed the key, creating accountability.
