For Security companies

Chain of custody, shift by shift

A security company holds keys to other people's premises. That is the whole business, and it depends entirely on being able to say who had which key, at what time, on any night a client asks.

A patrol finished at 4am with three client site keys still in the van, and the body camera never reached the charger.

You hold other people’s keys. That is the whole business, and the whole risk.

Built for keys.
Works for anything you need back.

The usual trouble

What goes wrong, and what happens instead

Three things Security companies say constantly — and what the register does about each.

1

A client asking who attended

Every issue and return carries a name and a timestamp. The answer to "who had the key to our building on Tuesday night" is a screen, not an investigation.

2

Keys a patrol holds permanently

A run of sites carried night after night is signed out as permanent, so it stays recorded against the guard holding it without going red every morning — and the overdue list stays a list of things that are genuinely late.

3

Losing a client key

The cost is not the key, it is the re-key and the contract. Overdue keys chase themselves before anybody has to make an awkward call.

Not only keys

What Security companies track with it

Anything that leaves a counter and is meant to come back. Each item is its own record, with its own history.

Client site keys and alarm fobs
Patrol vehicle keys
Two-way radios and body cameras
Access cards and swipe passes
Safe and cash-in-transit keys
How it works

Know who has what. Chase it automatically. See it at a glance.

Know who has what

Every item is signed out to a person — a staff member, a contractor, a tenant, with a phone number. Two taps at the board or on a phone, and the record is made as it happens rather than written up later from memory.

It chases them for you

Anything past its due time texts and emails whoever has it, by itself. Most things come back before anybody in the office has noticed they were late — and nobody has to make the awkward phone call.

See what is out at a glance

One board shows everything that is out, who has it, and how long it has been gone — overdue in red. The question at five o'clock is answered by looking, not by asking everybody in the room.

Try it on your own keys for two weeks

Set up your board, sign a few things out, and see whether the chasing stops. From $39.95 a month afterwards. Cancel any time during the trial, and there is nothing to install.
