Secure keys for public buildings, fleet vehicles, and restricted areas with electronic key management that provides time-stamped access logs.
Track vehicle keys and usage across departments to strengthen fleet management and reduce unauthorized use.
Automate the process of issuing keys to staff and contractors, saving time and ensuring accountability.
Cities and municipalities oversee a wide range of assets—government buildings, fleet vehicles, maintenance equipment, and more—all of which require secure, trackable access. Without clear oversight, misplaced or misused keys can create liability risks, slow down services, and compromise public trust. HSS provides traceable key management technology designed for public-sector accountability, ensuring every key and asset is securely stored, checked out, and returned with a complete audit trail.
As the certified Morse Watchmans dealer in the Midwest, HSS’s electronic key management systems are built to meet the unique needs of cities and municipalities, from small-town offices to multi-department county operations. Each solution is backed by reliable service, ensuring you maintain control of public resources, reduce liability, and stay compliant with record-keeping regulations.
Cities and municipalities face constant challenges: misplaced keys that slow down public services, lack of visibility into who accessed shared vehicles or facilities, and outdated manual tracking that makes audits and compliance a headache. Hoffman Security Solutions addresses these issues with proven Morse Watchmans electronic key management systems and decades of high-touch service. Our solutions centralize oversight across departments, providing real-time monitoring, detailed audit trails, and full accountability. From issuing keys for secure buildings to managing fleet vehicles, HSS helps public agencies reduce liability, improve efficiency, and protect taxpayer-funded assets while maintaining public trust.
“These boxes are starting to catch on, and departments are really thinking about how they will use them for vehicles and building keys.”
The Challenge
Walworth County Public Works had invested in an electronic key management system with another provider that was never fully implemented due to poor manufacturer support, leaving them without a reliable process for managing building and fleet vehicle keys.
The Solution
HSS installed and configured the KeyWatcher Touch, providing installation, training, and ongoing service to ensure proper use and adoption across the department.
The Outcome
Walworth County now operates a fully functional electronic key management process that improves fleet management, secures public facilities, and provides complete audit trails for compliance.
