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 (please check with your administrator if you’re unsure of what format your 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 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 you make a booking and require access to an asset's key from the KeyMaster.
