Why Do Dealerships Put Tracking Tags on Car Keys?
Imagine working at a large dealership with hundreds—or potentially thousands—of vehicles and key sets.
There are:
New vehicles
Used vehicles
Trade-ins
Cars waiting for service
Customer vehicles
Loaner vehicles
Test-drive vehicles
Vehicles parked in different areas of the property
Now imagine trying to find one specific set of keys without an organized system.
It could become a nightmare.
That’s why dealerships can use electronic key-management systems.
A key may be assigned an identification tag that connects it to information in the dealership’s inventory or key-control software. When an employee checks out a key, the system can record information about the transaction and help staff locate the key later.
Instead of five employees wandering around the lot asking, “Has anyone seen the keys for that SUV?”, the system provides a much more organized way to manage them.
