Geotab’s Keyless Shared Mobility solution now includes the IOX-Keybox, offering a faster and easier installation process for shared fleet customers. This new device provides flexible access options and ensures key reusability, reducing vehicle downtime and eliminating key damage.

The IOX-Keybox simplifies installation by allowing keys to be placed directly into the hardware, eliminating the need for soldering integration. Unlike the IOX-Keyless, this design ensures the physical key remains undamaged and can be accessed by the driver when needed. This means no more shipping keys for assembly, which can add significant downtime for productive vehicle assets.

With the IOX-Keybox, drivers can retrieve the physical key from the locked unit for bladed key starts or for general convenience during their usage period. The key is securely stored within the unit between drivers.

The process for key access is straightforward:

• Unlock at start of usage: The unit unlocks for the driver to retrieve the key.
• Lock: Sensors will detect if the key has been returned.
• Key returned: The unit drawer locks.
• Key not returned: The lock request will fail.

The IOX-Keybox launched in May and is now available for users in North America and Europe.
