Digital key solutions that eliminate physical keys and enable secure, flexible access across all fleet types

Heavy-duty fleets

The Keystone in-vehicle controller converts bladed-key vehicles to push-button start, eliminating the need for the physical key after installation. Define who can access what, when and under what conditions. Secure, role-based access via app lets teams unlock fleet assets anytime, anywhere. Every action is logged for safety and accountability.

Light-duty fleets

Keystone’s eKey module enables push-button vehicle control without dismantling or embedding a key fob, offering a significantly more secure alternative. It brings digital access control to light-duty rental fleets, allowing drivers to unlock and start vehicles via a mobile app. The solution delivers flexibility and security for fast-turnaround fleets while maintaining full compatibility with the vehicle’s original hardware.

Telematics-integrated access

Connected Keystone is tailored for fleets that use third-party telematics platforms and do not issue smartphones to drivers. It allows remote access, control and revocation of vehicle access through the fleet’s existing systems, no driver app required. This solution enhances security and flexibility while integrating seamlessly into established workflows, making it ideal for distributed or contractor-based fleet operations.

Trailer verification

A standalone system that verifies truck-to-trailer connections in real time. Using scanning technology, it ensures each trailer is correctly matched to the assigned tractor before departure. This reduces the risk of loading errors, improves safety and strengthens accountability across trailer-based operations, helping fleets avoid costly delays and operational mistakes.

How does our digital key solution work?

Cloud-based backend:
Provides a set of APIs for key life cycle management, policy administration and a notification engine. These can easily be integrated with existing connected vehicle solutions.

In-vehicle module
Receives and validates commands from the mobile device and acts in accordance with the user’s digital key and policy. Integrates easily with major MCU platforms and providers.


Mobile device
Uses Bluetooth BLE to issue commands (such as open door, authorize engine start) and set vehicle preferences. A mobile SDK handles all management, security and communication, allowing app developers to focus on the user experience.
