Spotlight on Keyhive – Is This The Future of Key Management?

Our latest spotlight is on Keyhive, a cool and innovative approach to the mosquito-like problem of keys – small, but potentially really annoying and painful!

Created in 2021 by a Letting agent who had had enough of losing his keys and decided to do something about it, Keyhive founder Aaron Cambden decided to team up with a serial developer David Gittins to make a difference to the life blood of agents, keys.

What does Keyhive do?

Keyhive presents an elegant solution to a common issue encountered by property professionals: the perennial quest for misplaced keys. Their solution is as simple as tap, sign, and go.

It starts with their ‘Kiosk’ – a small tablet device sitting in your office which reads the key fobs and runs the system for you.

Through this user-friendly in-house kiosk and fob system, Keyhive ensures meticulous key management, allocating responsibility to individual users and providing real-time dashboard reports.

Moreover, automatic reminders promptly notify users when keys are overdue.

Designed with property professionals in mind, their secure and intuitive solution eradicates the expenses and inconvenience caused by lost or misplaced keys.

By relieving staff of this burden, Keyhive empowers them to prioritise revenue generation and focus on building great client relationships, enhancing overall productivity.

How?

By making keeping track of your keys better, faster & simpler.

The one thing they are obsessed with as a business is to make keys something you no longer have to think about because they just work. They have built a system that helps agencies of all sizes regain control of their keys and move to new levels of efficiency.

• Sign out & return keys in seconds, no more manual logging. Just tap the key fob on the Kiosk reader and let the system work its magic.
• Live key data is right there whenever you need it, and keys can be audited with full key timelines.
• Date, time and signature stamped key sign-outs for added security. No more wondering who last took the keys or when they were taken.
• Overdue keys are automatically chased via email and text. No more wasting hours on the phone trying to track down wandering keys!

This brilliantly simple system saves you time, money and stress.

Giving your customers another reason to trust you

When it comes to property, small details make a big difference to your customers. If they can trust you to take care of the little things then they will also trust you with the big things.

Keyhive believes that its systems help build customer trust by prioritising their needs and demonstrating a responsible approach to key management.

Once you are set up and using their system, they issue you with a Keyhive Secure certificate, so all your customers can see that you are committed to meticulous key handling.

By becoming a Keyhive Secure agent you gain access to comprehensive information about each key transaction, including when a key was taken, how long it was utilised, and when it was returned.

These details are supported by digital signatures and photographic evidence, providing an additional layer of assurance.
