When productivity and efficiency is addressed in fleets, typically attention is never brought to key management. However, with keys being easy to misplace and hard to manage, there is a lack of efficiency that often goes unnoticed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With the introduction of <\/span>keyless entry with Geotab Keyless<\/a><\/span>, the management process will be simplified as <\/span>fleets <\/span>will embrace more freedom with keys going digital. Geotab\u2019s IOX add-on for keyless functionality<\/a> with integrated key fobs will convert a smartphone into the key giving drivers access to the vehicle when in close proximity.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If your <\/span>fleet <\/span>falls under one of the following categories, <\/span>car sharing<\/span> would be a great choice:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Taking a look at the manager\u2019s perspective, micromanaging vehicle utilization can become efficient and straightforward. When keyless entry strategies are implemented within MyGeotab<\/a>, fleet management can expect to notice the following:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n From a driver\u2019s perspective, an app on their smartphone will inform them about the vehicle\u2019s location and allow them to access the vehicle in close proximity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It should be noted that being out of cellular coverage will not be an issue. When you are out of range, the vehicle will be accessible via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. As BLE is a simple highly automated wireless local data network that enables informational communications between assets requiring no barcode, no paperwork nor wire to operate the network, it is part of the success of keyless entry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n After the implementation of keyless entry, fleets can typically begin to notice 4 main benefits:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n To install the <\/span>Keyless entry<\/span> IOX, it\u2019s important to know that one of the key fobs must be soldered within the hardware as a permanent fit.<\/span><\/p>\n If a vehicle operates with a key rather than through push-to-start, one of the vehicle\u2019s keys must remain inside the vehicle for the driver to use. However, since the key will be inside the car and not with the manager, the issue with using and exchanging keys will no longer be an issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As well, since cell phones will become the new key for the vehicle, drivers must be made well aware that the mobile device requires enough battery life at all times to ensure the digital key functions properly.<\/span><\/p>\n With Geotab K<\/span>eyless <\/span>entering the market and car sharing dominating various vehicle-based industries, it is predicted that fleets will increasingly begin to leverage keyless strategies. Since the simplicity of a <\/span>keyless entr<\/span>y process requires minimal hassle with getting into the right vehicle and even changing between vehicles, it\u2019s something many fleets won\u2019t be able to overlook.<\/span><\/p>\n As we\u2019re dedicated to always help to improve operations and efficiencies in fleets of any size, keyless entry is something that many businesses should look into.
