How Key Management Increases Performance and Productivity

Save Time

In business, every wasted minute is also wasted revenue generation. Inefficient access systems waste time. If a key staff member is spending half their time trying to track down the keys they need to access a critical storeroom or vehicle, they aren’t working a revenue generating task. Even more critically, it can delay getting teams on the road and off to work.

Of course, it gets even worse if you’re dealing with lost key sets. Not only is there time and money wasted looking for them, but also in replacements and lost hours or days of work while you wait for replacements.

Liability and Security

Key management systems are used across industries, from hospitality to law enforcement. Chances are the reason your premises or vehicles need controlled access is that there’s either a security risk, or simply a liability risk, in the wrong people entering or operating them. When you know the keys are safely under control, you reduce security and liability risks- and enhance your peace of mind. When used in settings like a car repair center or a hotel, you also considerably enhance customer satisfaction, as they know you’ve placed their safety front-and-center of your minds, too. Staff can work productively without worry.

Improved Management

What you can measure, you can manage. And good management lies at the core of all productivity-boosting efforts. When you have a sense of who needs access, when, why, and how they conduct themselves during their time with the keys, you can put better structures in place to assist staff productivity. Audit and usage logs come standard with Intellekey’s systems, making this task even easier.

Automation

By installing an easy-to-use, yet fully auditable and comprehensive key management system, you free up staff time even further. No one needs to waste their work day signing keys in and out- it’s all handled automatically. You can even leave key sets for staff members working nights or overtime shifts without key personnel having to be there to give them access. There’s no crisis if someone takes sick leave or vacation time, either.
