St John Ambulance1 in the West Midlands saw a risk with keys to its 22 ambulances.
As the charity was using unsecured key hooks to manage the keys to this fleet, it meant a risk of theft, or unauthorised drivers accessing vehicles. Hence the region took the Keytracker2 mechanical key management product, which allows each team member to be issued with an identification peg that provides access to the keys. The rest of the team can then at a glance identify who has the key to which vehicle. This cuts time wasted looking for keys and allows for keys to be secured when they are not required, allowing St John Ambulance to get on with their work, without the interruption of lost or misplaced keys. Graham Cann, West Midlands regional fleet and resources manager said: We are very pleased with the new system, it provides 100 per cent better key management, and is great to instantly identify who has which keys.
The service we got from the Keytracker team was great, they were helpful and took the time to understand what we needed.
