The challenge
Keys are the gateway to every vehicle in a fleet. When they hang on boards or sit in drawers, they get taken without record, returned to the wrong place or lost altogether. Dispatchers spend time locating keys, vehicles sit idle and replacing keys for modern vehicles is expensive. When a vehicle is damaged, paper logs rarely show who had it.
Lost and misplaced keys
Vehicles sit idle while keys are found or replaced.
Paper sign-out logs
Manual records do not show who had a vehicle when.
Dispatcher time
Staff spend time issuing and chasing keys.
If nothing changes: Idle vehicles and key replacements cost money every week, and poor records make incidents hard to resolve.
Release keys only to authorized drivers and log every handoff
Signifi smart lockers provide secure key storage with authenticated access. Drivers identify themselves and receive only the keys they are authorized to take. Returns are logged, and SignifiVISION alerts supervisors to overdue keys. Indoor and outdoor units suit depots and yards.
How it works
Driver authenticates
Badge, PIN or biometric login identifies the driver.
Authorized key released
Only the assigned vehicle's key compartment opens.
Return logged
The key is returned and overdue returns trigger alerts.
