Gideon is a Product Marketing Manager at Keycafe, where he helps businesses understand the benefits of a smart key management system.

We’re excited to announce several new features and improvements to the Keycafe app and SmartBox that will further transform your key management experience. Here's what's new for May 2024:

SmartBox Video Recording

Our highly anticipated Video Recording feature is now available! Organizations can automatically record each time a key is picked up or dropped off at the SmartBox.

This feature enhances security and accountability, providing peace of mind for key management. Available on the Premium and Business Pro plans with an MS5 SmartBox.

Learn more about how to set up and use this feature.

SmartBox Key Search

No more scrolling! For users with access to multiple keys, a search bar is now available on the key selection screen during key pickups.

For most users (with <50 keys), the list will automatically filter as you type. For users with access to many keys (>50), simply tap the search button after typing and the list will update.

Try it on your MS5 or MS4 SmartBox today!

SmartBox LED and Screen Colour Customization

We’re introducing two new options to customize your SmartBoxes to better match your brand image and improve the user experience:

  • LED Ring Colour: Change the colour of the LED ring around the camera on the MS5 to match your logo, environment, or any other colour you’d like. You can also choose between breathing, flashing, or solid lighting patterns.
  • Screen Colour Gradients: Create custom colour gradients for the buttons, banners, and text on the SmartBox screen.

Explore the customization options and how to implement them.

User Autocomplete

Adding user permissions just got easier with our new User Autocomplete feature. When adding a permission to a key, key group, or location, you can start typing a user’s name and a dropdown menu will appear with suggested names, making it faster and more efficient to manage user access.

This feature can be used for names of both Full and SmartBox Users. Try it out today in your Keycafe app!
