So let’s take a closer look at what that mysterious little device
may actually be doing.
Why Do Dealerships Put Tracking Tags on Car Keys?
Imagine working at a large dealership with hundreds—or potentially thousands—of vehicles and key sets.
There are:New vehicles
Used vehicles
Trade-ins
Cars waiting for service
Customer vehicles
Loaner vehicles
Test-drive vehicles
Vehicles parked in different areas of the property
Now imagine trying to find one specific set of keys without an organized system.
It could become a nightmare.
That’s why dealerships can use electronic key-management systems.
A key may be assigned an identification tag that connects it to information in the dealership’s inventory or key-control software. When an employee checks out a key, the system can record information about the transaction and help staff locate thekey later.
