Fleet Management Systems & Car Key Replacement

Creating Reliable Backup for Your Company Vehicles

As a business that uses fleet vehicles, you know the many benefits. Offering company cars in Fort Collins, CO, is a great way to attract and retain employees. This practice also creates a professional image and maintains control of your brand. Some businesses use GPS tracking devices to ensure employees are addressing the company’s needs and fulfilling appointments when on extended trips.  

Of course, as with most things in life, there are two sides to the fleet vehicle coin. On the downside lies managing the vehicles, including maintenance, fuel, and vehicle acquisition and disposal. Even what sounds like a simple task—managing the keys—can become increasingly difficult as your company grows. 

Without a strategic key management system, managers can quickly lose track of who has which key or when they return it. Time, the most precious of business commodities, becomes wasted as people wait for keys to be returned or search for missing ones. 

If this sounds familiar, there is a better way. It’s called a key management system, and it starts with a car key replacement for every vehicle. 

Here’s how it’s done.

Get Extra Keys Made

With today’s high-tech keys, replacing programmable remotes, transponder keys, and remote/key combos can feel overwhelming. Do you have to go to the dealership? Do you need to take the existing key and lose the use of the car for several days? Will you need to budget several hundred dollars per car? 

If you’re getting your keys from a dealership, the answer to those last two questions is yes. It will take time and cost a significant amount of money.

Or, you can turn to your local, trusted commercial automotive locksmith, the one that’s been helping businesses with their many auto-related and security needs for over 50 years. In Fort Collins, that locksmith is LockSafe Systems. We pride ourselves on serving our community 24/7 and in the most reliable, conscientious way possible.

Maintaining Control of Your Keys

A fleet management system consists of logging, issuing, and tracking keys. Having replacement keys on the ready ensures an immediate response should an employee lose or misplace their keys. While it may seem like a random and unusual occurrence, if you’ve been a fleet manager for long, you know it happens, and often at the most inconvenient time. 

If you run into a similar scenario before getting your vehicle keys duplicated, we offer onsite, 24/7 service and can often create and program a key while your employee waits.
