Simplifying key management for small to medium-sized businesses and institutions

Keys are an essential element to secure many locations and devices, but keeping up with keys can be an ongoing challenge. Problems can occur in any business or institutional setting that uses a dozen or more keys. How do you keep up with them all?

How much time might a small business spend looking for keys? In an urgent situation, everyone might have to stop what they’re doing and join the search – but at what cost to the business?

Technology can help. But while there are plenty of key and asset management systems for enterprises and medium-to-large businesses, the systems have historically not been targeted to small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Many of these businesses have a critical need to manage keys more effectively, but available systems were too expensive and/or offered excessive functionality way beyond the needs of a smaller organisation.

Traka21, an ASSA ABLOY product, seeks to fill this gap in the market by offering a value-priced alternative to larger key management systems that still offers plenty of functionality to meet the needs of smaller businesses. It’s a plug-and-play product “in a box” that is simple, efficient and cost-effective. The system leverages advanced RFID technology, and a touchscreen interface.
