KEY MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS
FOR VOID PROPERTY

VACANT AND VOID PROPERTY

Improve your alarm response time and speed up property turnaround

THE CHALLENGES OF TRADITIONAL KEYHOLDING

Vacant or void properties are frequent targets for vandalism, trespassing and theft. Alarm systems are essential, but call out response times are equally critical, and they only work if patrols have the right keys with them.

These properties also require regular access for inspections, insurance checks and contractor refurbishments. Emergency maintenance visits to unmanned sites can be severely delayed when traditional keyholding methods are used. In some cases, engineers wait hours for keys to arrive, during which time damage to the property can escalate significantly.

TRUE STORY

Reducing travel time and carbon emissions

“By utilising Keynetics’ system over the last twelve months, we have reduced our annual costs by a massive 90%! This saving came from improved time efficiencies around key retrieval, the elimination of missed visit charges, and a reduction in equipment and appliances being stolen from void properties. This also leading to a 60% improvement in property turn-around times.”

A STEP CLOSER TO NET ZERO

Reduce your carbon emissions with Keynetics! By storing keys on-site, you can overcome common sustainability challenges faced by your team, security providers, and contractors every day:

  • No need to collect keys from a central location or rely on an assigned keyholder.
  • Traditionally, alarm responders carry keys in patrol vans, with only selected responders able to access certain sites. With keys stored securely on-site, the nearest responder can attend immediately, reducing travel time and lowering emissions.
