KeyValet

Automated Motor Pool Solution

Motor pools assist fleet managers to “right-size” their fleet and reduce fleet size while increasing utilization. Successfully managing a motor pool involves many aspects, including customer reservations, vehicle check-out, billing and the maintenance of the motor pool vehicles themselves. AssetWorks’ KeyValet is a comprehensive solution for all aspects of running a motor pool.

AssetWorks KeyValet integrates with FleetFocus motor pool software which manages every aspect of the motor pool fleet. The KeyValet allows fleet managers to deploy an unmanned motor pool in an efficient, secure and cost effective manner. This product also provides an online portal for your customers to reserve their vehicles, a secure automated key box with radio frequency connectivity to record trip data and accurate odometer updates. These features, coupled with integrated customer billing, make this the ONLY motor pool solution you need.

How It Works

  • A motor pool customer uses their fleet’s secure intranet to make their reservation, any time day or night.
  • Once the reservation has been completed, the customer receives an automated email containing a confirmation code which allows them to access the vehicle’s key at the motor pool lot. Fleets that use smart card technology for their employees can also opt to integrate reservations with the employee’s smart card in lieu of using a confirmation code.
  • Using their smart card or confirmation code, the customer is able to release the correct key from the secure key box. Only one key for their pool type vehicle can be accessed and customers can configure the system to pre-assign with parameters such as low mileage, high mileage or random.
  • When the key lock box door is closed, the reservation automatically dispatches the vehicle in FleetFocus and the customer trip begins. The customer starts the vehicle and continues their trip .
  • Upon return of the vehicle, the odometer reading is taken wirelessly as the car enters the parking lot.
  • Using their smart card, confirmation code or vehicle number to open the key box, the customer returns the keys to the designated position triggering the following events:
    • FleetFocus automatically updates the reservation as “returned” using the most recent wireless meter reading.
    • A completed reservation with cost summary is sent to the customer via email using FleetFocus Notifications.
    • The vehicle’s mileage is updated accurately in real-time in the maintenance system.

Data from KeyValet is integrated with FleetFocus’ Business Intelligence functionality, including detailed reporting with drill-down capabilities, customizable dashboards, trend analysis, and event-driven notifications. An optional GPS integration is also available.
