Enhancing residential operations with Traka GO

In multifamily and residential property management, security, efficiency and oversight of key control are critical.

The Traka GO mobile application delivers powerful tools directly to users’ smartphones. Staff can check key availability, see who currently has a key and request access to keys they need. Administrators use the app to manage users, permissions, system status and view transaction histories. Push notifications alert teams to important activity and Emergency Key Mapping helps locate keys during power interruptions.

The physical key cabinet remains a secure storage solution within the system. For example, the Traka LT cabinet pairs with the app to provide a streamlined and affordable residential key management setup. It maintains resident safety by keeping keys unlabeled and using QR codes for identification through the app.

This combination of hardware and app provides secure storage with remote access, chain-of-custody tracking and dynamic control.

Ease of use

Installation of the system is simple and straightforward. The cabinet can be shipped directly to a property and mounted similarly to a flat-screen TV, with only power and data connections needed. Once installed, data is set up by importing the property’s rent roll which assigns units to individual key tags or fobs. Employee profiles are created during training sessions, usually via one-on-one remote meetings with an account manager.

Beyond physical storage, the app enables secure key transfers between staff without needing to return keys to the cabinet. Users can request keys from colleagues, meet anywhere to hand off keys and record transactions in the app. Scheduled reservations for tours or maintenance reduce coordination bottlenecks and simplify access management.

Accountability

Administrators benefit from real-time dashboards that monitor key circulation, notify when keys are checked out or returned outside expected times and provide full audit trails.

Traka GO also integrates with more advanced hardware like the Traka HC and MXi cabinets, which offer features including access schedules, user permissions, alerts, audit logs and reporting. The app enables seamless remote management across these hardware options. This combination of hardware and app provides secure storage with remote access, chain-of-custody tracking and dynamic control.

With its user-friendly interface and centralized control, Traka GO helps multifamily operators navigate challenges such as staff turnover and property management changes. New administrators can quickly learn the system and maintain operational confidence. The result is a safer, more efficient and scalable approach to key management that meets the evolving needs of residential portfolios.
