For companies that rely on key-controlled vending machines or other remote assets, Key Sentinel is the first vehicle-based key-security system in the industry. It keeps an accurate electronic record of key activity and enables efficient, secure key storage and management.

By moving key storage and management from the office to the field, Key Sentinel:

• improves employee productivity
• enhances management control
• provides for the flexible delivery of key data

More Productive Technician Time

Companies that operate vending machines or other locked remote assets lose hours of productivity every day from technicians picking up and returning keys. By providing a secure means of storing the keys in the technician’s vehicle, Key Sentinel ends the need for daily key pickup and return to the central office, eliminating several wasted hours on the road. Instead, technicians can spend that time in the field, servicing more machines than ever before.

Virtual Key Control for Managers

With Key Sentinel, managers maintain control over keys to remote assets just as they did when they kept the keys in the office for pickup and return by technicians. The difference is that the control is virtual, through electronic monitoring of keys in the field. Key Sentinel includes a device that records every instance of when a key ring is removed from or returned to its key safe. Managers can download that information at their discretion.

Flexible Data Collection and Reporting

Key Sentinel is the only in-vehicle system for reporting on key usage that maintains a complete audit trail manager download via handheld technology at any time. With other systems, the manager must wait for the driver to come in from the field to get the data that’s been collected.
