Every key, device and tool — accounted for.
Modular smart cabinets for secure storage, controlled access, check-out and return of keys, devices, tools and other valuable assets. Every handover logged: who, what, when.
Small assets, big headaches.
Keys, scanners, radios, tablets and tools move between people all day. A logbook and a drawer can't tell you where they are.
No accountability
Paper logs get skipped. When something goes missing, nobody knows who had it or when.
Staff tied to the handover
Every key or device handover needs a person at a desk — after hours, weekends, early arrivals.
Losses and replacements
Lost keys mean re-keying. Missing devices and tools get re-purchased instead of returned.
Not just a key cabinet.
The same touchscreen, access methods and cloud platform power every Nova cabinet. Only the compartments change — sized to whatever you need to control.
Wherever assets change hands.

Common questions
Can it only store keys?
No. Besides key compartments there are phone compartments (for phones, scanners and radios) and tablet compartments, mixed in the same cabinet on the same screen and software.
How do staff load assets?
Staff tap their NFC badge, choose the room, vehicle or asset on the screen, and the assigned compartment opens. The system records slot, asset, staff ID and time.
Which languages does the screen support?
English, French, Arabic, Spanish and German out of the box. More languages on request.
Can I put my own brand on it?
Yes. OEM / white-label covers the cabinet front, screen UI and dashboard.
Which sizes are available?
Standard sizes hold 18, 30, 42, 66, 90, 102, 114, 138 or 174 key compartments. Compact sizes are 0.88 m tall with the screen on top; tall sizes are 1.3 m with the screen at eye level. For other numbers we pick the closest layout.
