    Keycafe is a great tracker and place to store keys to vehicles or shared items such as a company gas card.

    They need to be powered where there is ethernet. This makes it hard for areas outside in larger fields and such (that are not tied to that). But for a hard-wired business, that wants to do away from home run copper back to the on-prem box, this is a great alternative.

    The Keycafe system is exactly the product we required, it has replaced the previous system used for Key collection and Drop offs, and Key Management. We have not seen another product, which will suit the requirements we need. Also replacing the Keycafe would be expensive and would require a lot of work

    From the very beginning, the customer service has been nothing short of incredible. Our first meeting with [...] was thorough and informative—he took the time to understand our specific needs and ensure that the product would suit us perfectly. Once we received the device, [...] went above and beyond to help us set it up and make sure we were using the software as effectively as possible, tailoring his guidance to our business needs. The team has consistently exceeded our expectations, and it’s comforting to know that they’re always available should we need further assistance.

    We looked at Meraki/Cisco cameras, as well as various on-prem servers. Nothing really stacked up when it came to features, cost, and ease of use. Meraki/Cisco came the closest but the licensing was not ideal.
