Smart Access uses cloud-enabled smart locks, alongside a mobile key app, to replace the need for a professional keyholder. Access rights are managed through The Keyholding Company’s Smart Security Platform, which connects clients with their operational systems for job booking and data insight. Like all data collected in the field, Smart Access data is made accessible so clients can interrogate access logs, understand trends, and pinpoint problem areas on their estate.
Businesses can reportedly also save on key and lock replacements, ad-hoc third-party access costs, and temporary guarding fees, as well as use the platform to reduce administration time. Averaging these expenses, The Keyholding Company has estimated that businesses could reduce their expenditure in these areas by up to 87%.
The Keyholding Company’s CEO, Charlie Gordon Lennox said: “Change is inevitable, and we must be willing to disrupt our own industry with progressive solutions. The introduction of Smart Access is a calculated risk, but we strongly believe it is the future of keyholding as it provides the most value to our clients, which will ultimately result in growth to our business.”
Smart Access will launch with a choice of two different devices, a smart door lock and a wall-mounted smart key box, with other devices to follow shortly.
