Every property under control
Key management for caretaker services
Property maintenance, small repairs, winter gritting — your team is out and about all day. Log+Key shows at any time who is carrying which key, and documents every handover automatically.
Typical challenges
What goes wrong with keys in day-to-day caretaking
- One employee looks after eight properties: the key bunch travels with him all day — only he knows exactly what's on it.
- Staff turnover: when someone leaves, it's unclear which keys they need to return — and which are missing.
- The property manager asks where a key they handed over has ended up — and the answer costs half a day of phone calls.
- Illness or holiday: the stand-in takes over the key bunch with a handshake, and nothing gets documented.
- One lost master key affects an entire property — and without documentation, the liability may well sit with your business.

Key management for caretaker services
Many properties, one team — and still a clear overview.
Every key assigned to a property
In Log+Key, each key is its own record with master data: property, address, locking system, client, key number. Using the search, you find every key belonging to a property in seconds — or see, the other way round, which properties an employee currently has "in their pocket". The travelling key bunch stops being a black box.
Staff changes without open questions
Caretaker and property-maintenance services know all about turnover and seasonal staff. With Log+Key you see at a glance which keys a leaver is still carrying — the return is scanned and thereby proven. Holiday cover is documented in seconds too: key out for one person, in for the other, done.
Proof for your clients
Property managers and owners entrust you with the keys to their buildings — and sooner or later they ask where they are. With Log+Key you answer with a glance at the unalterable history: every issue and return with a timestamp and employee name, with a signature if desired. In case of doubt that's your liability protection — and in sales conversations, a sign of professionalism.
Manage tools and equipment along the way
The cordless drill, the snow shovel, the ladder in the van: what applies to keys applies just as much to a caretaker service's working equipment. Alongside keys, Log+Key manages tools, equipment and vehicles — via an NFC sticker straight on the item. More on the inventory management page.
On the move with a smartphone
Your team is rarely at a desk — neither is Log+Key. The handover happens where it takes place: at the key cabinet in the yard, in the van or at the property door. Sign-in by PIN, scanning via the NFC tag on the key bunch, no training required.
More of a facility-management operation with a central store?
If you run properties with a central key store and a wall terminal, take a look at our page on key management for building and facility management.
More background: With many properties under management, a digital key management system quickly becomes a prerequisite for staying on top of things — we've put together a definition and selection criteria. If you're wondering whether an Excel key book will keep carrying you, we've compared the key points. You'll find a full overview of features and hardware on our software solution page for digital key management.
Forgotten your password?
Simple, fast sign-in with a PIN.
Log+Key stands for simplicity, and we guarantee it in our sign-in process too. Fast sign-in without usernames or complicated passwords saves time and effort.
Key dates in the calendar
Schedule a return date.
A scheduled return deadline makes for an organised key handover, because agreed deadlines are a helpful planning tool for both the person taking the key and the person handing it over.
An autograph, please!
Confirm with a signature.
Log+Key doesn't leave the question of accountability unanswered. With the signature feature, a key can be handed over responsibly and traceably.
More than keys
Your inventory works like a key too.
Tools, devices, vehicles, first-aid kits: anything your team borrows and returns, Log+Key manages just like a key — with an NFC tag, a complete history and stocktaking by scan. The key rack and the tool store share one system, one history and one login.
