Enhanced usability options

Stop losing track of keys

Every issue and return is logged against a named user, with email/push alerts on overdue keys; wrong-key returns are caught the moment they happen.

Match security to each key, not the whole cabinet

Locking or non-locking slots key by key; combine PIN, RFID, biometric, or QR, and require four-eye on high-risk keys.

Run it without dragging IT into the project.

Optional 4G/5G keeps alarms and comms independent of your network; ecos webman, the app, and ecos care handle updates, backups, and 99.9% uptime.

Reserve keys ahead — web, app, Outlook, or at the cabinet.

Two-way audio and video — 5 MP camera, mic and speaker; remote release via the app.

Alerts to the right team — 20+ alarm types, on-site or forwarded to existing panels.

Grow without a forklift upgrade — the ecos key 20 ships fully built; start with as few as 5 active slots and activate more, up to 20, with a licence code and ID-plug. No installer, no downtime.
