For property managers, KeyNest provides an efficient app that tracks keys in real-time, making it easier to manage key collections and drop-offs.

Managing Keys in the Office:

The challenge of tracking multiple keys in an office setting can be alleviated using KeyNest's app. The average estate agent incurs significant costs due to lost keys; therefore, this tool significantly enhances accountability and organization.

Key Tracking Process:

The system utilizes smart RFID fobs attached to key sets. These fobs employ contactless technology similar to that found in debit cards, functioning without batteries. Users can personalize the fobs or opt for standard KeyNest designs. Staff members simply tap the fob on the app when taking keys in or out of the office, ensuring effective tracking and automatic reminders for returns. This approach far surpasses traditional methods based on pegs or manual logs.

The app also supports logging keys issued to tenants or contractors while offering automated SMS reminders for returns. Its user-friendly interface negates the need for extensive training, allowing quick onboarding through simple spreadsheet uploads.

This solution is particularly advantageous for estate agents and short-term rental management firms seeking operational efficiency in key management. For assistance or feedback, you may contact KeyNest at +44 203 633 4599 or via email at [email protected].
