Traka Automotive, an electronic key management product firm, has developed a mobile application for accessing its key management software for car dealers from any Windows, Android or iOS mobile device. The new Traka Automotive Mobile App allows dealer staff to locate, assign and hand over vehicle keys, even when away from their desks.
The Traka App, being piloted by several dealers, allows users to search key records, assign and unassign keys to/from authorised staff and even complete key hand-overs between registered staff, in a fully audited manner; all via a mobile device and without physically returning keys to cabinets or being tied to their desktop PCs. The full version of the Traka App will be offered to Traka Automotive customers before the end of this year, the product developers add.
Paul Smith, Director, Traka Automotive said: “As mobile access to corporate IT systems becomes more prevalent for dealerships striving for greater efficiencies and higher staff productivity, we need to be able to offer secure mobile access to our key management software. We are already seeing early adopter dealer groups rolling out iPads and other smart mobile devices to staff to give them access to back office systems without having to go back to their desks. Some groups are even replacing traditional desktop computers with tablets and smart phones. In the light of this trend, we are moving early to pilot secure mobile access to our electronic key management solution.”
