Trucking & TransportKey Management for Trucking and Transport Companies
Track every vehicle key across your fleet, eliminate unauthorized use, and keep drivers moving — with a system that works around the clock across every yard and depot.
Smarter Key Management Across Your Transport Fleet
Keycafe gives trucking and transport companies complete visibility and control over every vehicle key in their fleet. Drivers check out keys at the start of a run and return them when they're done — every transaction logged automatically. Fleet managers see which vehicles are out, who has them, and for how long. Yard managers track keys for trucks, trailers, support vehicles, and equipment in one system. When shift changes happen, there's no confusion about which keys are where. The full history is always available for compliance, insurance, and driver accountability.
Ready for High-Volume Fleet Environments
Keycafe handles the scale and pace of transport operations. Multiple drivers can check keys in and out throughout the day without delays. The SmartBox is wall-mounted in your depot or yard office and is operational in under an hour. Drivers use a PIN or the Keycafe app — no special credentials required. Fleet managers oversee everything remotely from the dashboard. For operations with multiple yards or depots, additional SmartBoxes are managed under one account. Book a demo to see how it works for your fleet.

Fleet Key Control Built for 24/7 Transport Operations.
Transport and trucking companies run non-stop, with drivers and fleet managers operating across multiple shifts and locations.

Fleet managers know who has which truck at any moment, and drivers get the key they need without delays.
