Keys Distribution Network
Find, compare and order automotive keys in one place
The Keys Distribution Network is a sourcing and commerce infrastructure designed to connect locksmiths directly with automotive key distributors through Keys.App. It is currently being implemented.
From the job to the key
Rather than only showing where a product may be available, Keys® is being built to support the whole procurement event.
- Identify the job.
- Identify the correct key, fob, lock or hardware.
- Let Keys AI match the exact product.
- Find the nearest available distributors.
- Compare price, availability and speed.
- Order directly through Keys®.
- Ship it or pick it up locally.
AI identifies the key you need
The correct key or fob can depend on vehicle year, make, model, VIN information, FCC ID, frequency, transponder type, blade configuration and programming requirements. Starting from the vehicle information, Keys technology can help identify the appropriate key or fob before matching it against participating distributor inventory, surfacing OEM and aftermarket options where applicable.
Ranked by what matters on the job
The platform is being designed to match the requested product with participating distributors based on availability, location, price and fulfillment speed, with price-watch and comparison tools. Sometimes the best price wins; sometimes the fastest option does.
Local pickup, where supported
Keys Inc. is implementing local pickup. Where a participating distributor supports it, a locksmith can identify the correct key, purchase it through Keys.App and pick it up locally instead of waiting for shipment.
For distributors
The Keys Distribution Network is not a central warehouse competing with distributors. Participating distributors make their products available through Keys.App and gain another direct channel into professional locksmith demand, through a dedicated distributor portal.
