Barcode Key Management System

Every key accounted for.

BKMS tracks who holds every physical key across your site — scanned, timestamped, and logged. It runs on your own server, on your own network. No cloud required.

The problem

A pegboard can't tell you who took the key.

Paper logbooks get skipped. Keys walk off. When something goes missing, nobody can say who had access or when. BKMS replaces the guesswork with a scan and a record that can't be argued with.

No accountability

Handwritten logs are optional and unverifiable. There is no reliable trail of who held what, or for how long.

Slow to find

"Who has the server-room key?" turns into a phone chain. Minutes lost on every handover, every shift.

No audit for incidents

After an incident there's nothing to review. BKMS gives you an exact, exportable history in seconds.

What BKMS does

Built to run a real key hub.

Everything a control desk needs to hand out keys fast and keep a clean record — nothing it doesn't.

Barcode check-out & return

Scan the key tag, scan the staff badge — done. Works with any standard USB barcode scanner. Batch-assign several keys to one person in one go.

Live screens across the LAN

Every connected PC shows the same state in real time. Check a key out at one desk and it updates everywhere instantly — no refresh, no duplicates.

Admin & operator roles

Operators scan keys in and out. Admins manage the key list, staff, and settings. Each person signs in with their own account.

Full audit log & CSV export

Every check-out and return is timestamped and attributed. Search the history and export it to CSV for reports or investigations.

Printable barcode labels

Generate proper Code 128 barcode labels for every key straight from the system. Print, stick, and start scanning.

Runs on your server

Installs as a Windows service that starts on boot and stays available. Your data lives on your machine — never in someone else's cloud.

How it works

Three scans from key to record.

The whole handover is two scans and a confirmation. The record writes itself.

1

Scan the key

Point the scanner at the key's barcode tag. BKMS pulls up the key, its location, and whether it's currently in or out.

2

Scan the staff badge

Scan the employee's ID badge — or pick them from the registered-staff list. The key is checked out to that person.

3

It's logged everywhere

The transaction is timestamped, attributed, and pushed live to every screen. On return, one scan closes the loop.

On-premises & licensed

Your keys. Your data. Your building.

BKMS is a one-time purchase that installs on a computer you own. It's engineered to stay put — protected, offline-capable, and tied to your site.

  • Nothing leaves your network

    All data is stored locally in an on-site database. No internet dependency, no third-party servers.

  • Hardware-locked licence

    Each licence is bound to one site by hardware fingerprint — it can't be copied and re-used at another location.

  • Always-on service

    Runs as a Windows service that launches on boot and restarts itself, so the hub is ready the moment a PC is on.

  • Only authorised staff

    Password-protected accounts and an admin PIN gate every sensitive action. Every action is attributed to a user.
