by Brianna Crandall — June 24, 2016 — One of the biggest issues facing multi-housing executives is how to adapt new technology seamlessly into their staff’s daily operations. To assist them in incorporating technology to make their property and staff more efficient, HandyTrac, a nationwide key control provider, is introducing the HandyTrac Touch.
Created by property management professionals, the HandyTrac Key Control System provides the apartment industry, student housing and military housing with a secure, low-cost, key-control and key-tracking system. The patented online key management system ensures all of clients’ data is backed up with an audit trail.
Larry Kratz, senior vice president, HandyTrac, states:
Building off of our 20 years of key-control innovation in the multi-housing industry, HandyTrac Touch combines biometric technology and a large display in a single unit to offer the highest level of security, reporting, and flexibility in the key control market. While the new system features state-of-the-art technology to streamline the key control process, the visual nature of the system makes it easy for employees to understand and use.
Features of the HandyTrac Touch system include:
- Instant reports showing keys out, reasons, and other transactions completed by staff;
- Ability to review individual work orders with one touch;
- Visual codes that eliminate typing errors, while streamlining the entire process;
- Integration of one-touch building pull;
- List of units for each building, allowing for quick and easy access when pulling multiple keys;
- Ability to use bar code employee badges if desired;
- Audit trail, where reports are backed up off site so audit trail is preserved; long-term records are archived;
- Hierarchy system that allows management to easily review reports for multiple properties with a single log-in;
- Continuous warranty on the complete system; technical support via toll-free 800 number;
- Built-in Wi-Fi connection available; and
- Lowest Prices, with relentless focus on cost control and efficiency.
Final features for the HandyTrac Touch system include an upgraded lock with fewer moving parts, USB ports that can include a keyboard, and a language pack.
