How KeyTrak and TrueSpot help dealerships extend visibility across the operation
A technician is ready for the next job. The key was checked out correctly, but before any work can begin, someone still has to find it.
KeyTrak helps dealerships secure keys, control access, and record who checks them out and when. TrueSpot adds real-time location tracking for tagged keys after they leave the cabinet.
Together, they help teams answer two everyday questions: Who checked out the key? And where is it now?
Keep the handoffs moving
As vehicles move between lots, service, recon, detail, and delivery, keys may pass among several team members along the way.
Knowing who checked the key out gives the next person a starting point if it goes missing. Knowing the key’s current location helps them take the next step.
Suppose an advisor needs a vehicle that has been moved to another lot. Or maybe a technician is waiting for a key that has changed hands three times already. Maybe a salesperson needs to take a customer for a test drive.
In every case, location information helps the team find what it needs and get back to work.
Small moments add up quickly
Consider a service department with 15 technicians. If each one spends five minutes a day searching for a key, those interruptions add up to 25 hours of lost time over a 20-workday month.
At an effective labor rate of $200 per hour, that represents $5,000 in potential billable capacity spent searching for keys instead.
Recovering search time doesn’t turn every minute into billed labor, of course, but the example shows how a small daily interruption deserves attention when it spreads across an entire department.
Extend the value of your key system
Dealerships already rely on KeyTrak for security and accountability. Adding TrueSpot helps teams locate the tagged equipment they need throughout the day while giving managers more information about how work moves across the dealership.
