Getting Started

What is KeyMaster?

KeyMaster® is an easy-to-use electronic key cabinet. Each key fob is held in place with a locking pin. When a driver enters their Employee ID or Booking ID or scans their RFID card (

check with

administrator if

unsure

what format

the KeyMaster uses) at the large 7″ touch screen, the door unlocks, and a light comes on to indicate which key they can take.

Employee ID / Booking ID Code / RFID Card

For KeyMaster to work, all Drivers must have either a unique ID code, unique booking ID, or the user’s staff RFID card against their driver profile in

PoolCar.  As part of the initial setup of KeyMaster, Smartrak can provide a bulk upload of this information into the system.  The Employee ID/Booking ID/RFID card is used every time

a booking is made and

the driver requires access to an asset's key from the KeyMaster.

Exceptions

If your organisation has access card (RFID Swipe Card) integration, please note the black RFID tags/fobs are not provided. Instead you should swipe your access card on the scanner when accessing and returning a key.

If your organisation has the departing method set to RFID Swipe Card (i.e. integrated with building entry cards), and the driver does not have the card, they will be unable to get the key out of the KeyMaster. The only option available is for an admin to remove the key temporarily. Please also note that the booking will also need to be manually checked out and in as well as odometer reading updated.
