What is the best way to manage warehouse keys and access control?
A secure way to manage warehouse keys and access control is to keep a register of keys, badges, and alarm codes, define access levels by role and area, record handovers and returns, remove access when people leave, and review access periodically.
In Jestor, people, keys, and areas are connected, so only the right people enter the right places.
Why does access control get weak?
Keys are copied and shared. Former employees keep badges.
Theft risk grows, insurers question controls, and nobody knows who can open each area.
What problems does access management solve?
- Keys copied and shared
- Former employees with access
- Unknown access by area
- Insurance concerns
- Weak investigations
