When the key is missing just when you need it

For years, I ( Bob Banzer) was personally responsible for key management in several large office buildings. I know what it means when the locking documentation is incorrect or nobody can say where the key to the attic access is kept. After all, a key is only ever searched for when it is urgently needed.

This is exactly the problem the BuildingOne key module addresses.

Organised key management, step by step

Various wizards support you with:

✔️ setting up locking systems

✔️ recording group and individual lockings

✔️ ordering cylinders and keys

✔️ other tasks related to your key management

In short: BuildingOne helps you digitalise and simplify your key management.

Less paper, more space

Digitalisation also means saving paper. With the Signingpad, your employees sign receipts digitally on the spot. Instead of a sheet of paper, they receive a secured electronic document. This protects the environment and frees up space in your filing cabinets.

Keys, doors and plans intelligently linked

Almost all BuildingOne users manage the doors of their buildings in the software. This allows doors and locks to be linked to one another. As a result, you get:

✔️ lists that show you at a glance which key is required for which door

✔️ plan views that display lock numbers directly, based on the plans synchronised with BuildingOne

And what about access cards?

Of course: in many buildings, access control is now handled via access cards. However, there are still many buildings, particularly existing ones, where structured key management remains indispensable.
