KeypanionTM Puts Remote Access in the Palm of Your Hand 

Southco is thrilled to introduce Keypanion, a revolutionary smart access app that lets you remotely actuate latches with Bluetooth® technology. The app replaces physical keys, which can be lost or stolen, with a convenient, intuitive system on a smartphone or tablet. While other remote or electronic access systems may require a full security system, Keypanion removes this barrier to entry with a setup process as easy as creating an account and connecting a Bluetooth device. Access to devices can also be shared with other accounts so users can be certain that only the right people can unlock their device at all times. Keypanion provides an easy way for all to step into the next generation of electronic access. 



Keypanion was born from a desire to reduce dependency on physical keys. They can be difficult to keep track of, and can be lost, stolen, or damaged. Keypanion removes this uncertainty and hassle with a system that is easy to set up and use no matter the user’s technological knowledge. You can set up Keypanion by downloading the app from the App Store or Google Play Store. After creating your account, you can register any number of devices to it using the same technology in wireless earbuds: Bluetooth. Once a device is added to your account, no other users can add it to theirs. This gives you peace of mind knowing that your devices are secure, and no one will gain access without your permission.



That said, it’s unlikely that you’ll be the only one accessing a device. Luckily, sharing access ok Keypanion is even easier than handing someone a physical key. You can freely share access to your devices with other accounts with the push of a button in the app. Additionally, you can also set this access to expire after a set period of time to ensure that others only have access when they need it. For instance, if you have a contractor coming to service a machine, and they need to access its inner workings, you can set your device to only let them unlock it when they are scheduled to be on-site. Convenience is a major focus of Keypanion, and sharing functionality ensures that the right people will always have access to a device at the right times. 



But convenience is only one focus of Keypanion. Security has always been a high priority for Southco, and Keypanion is no different. This app heightens security beyond simply replacing physical keys. It provides real-time monitoring of every device registered to an account, so you always know which devices are secure, and which are open. Users can also view a device’s history, or audit trail, to see which accounts have accessed the device, and when. 



These features make Keypanion the ideal starting place for anyone looking to upgrade to electronic access. No dedicated IT team is required to set up the app, and adding devices to an account is accomplished with familiar Bluetooth technology. It replaces physical keys, so there is no risk of one being lost or stolen, and provides additional security benefits such as timed access sharing and constant status monitoring.  
  
The world of smart access is just getting started, and Keypanion is leading the way.
