Case Study
Transforming Key Chaos Into Reliable Control
Before working with Hoffman Security Solutions, the Walworth County Public Works Department had invested in a generic electronic key management system to manage keys for county-owned buildings and fleet vehicles. Unfortunately, due to poor manufacturer support and a failed installation, the system was never fully operational.
HSS replaced the outdated setup with the KeyWatcher Touch, managing the transition from start to finish. Our team handled installation, training, and ongoing service, ensuring the department now has a fully functional, reliable key management system backed by local support and a verifiable audit trail.
