Overview

What we offer

A complete toolkit — purpose-built for your environment.

Security and locker management encompasses the electronic systems that control, track, and audit access to physical assets — vehicle keys, IT equipment, medication, tools, personal effects, and restricted documents — within an organisation. It replaces mechanical key racks, sign-out registers, and unlocked storage with intelligent, access-controlled systems that record every interaction: who accessed what asset, at what time, for how long, and whether it was returned correctly.

The business case for electronic asset management is straightforward. Physical key loss in a large organisation — a hotel, a hospital, or a manufacturing plant — is not just an inconvenience. A master key lost in a hospital triggers security re-keying of dozens of doors, potentially costing BDT 2–5 lakh and creating a period of security vulnerability. A vehicle key left in an unlocked cabinet provides access to a BDT 50+ lakh company vehicle without audit trail. An IT device checked out without documentation disappears without accountability — creating a data breach risk under PDPO 2025 and an asset write-off that could have been prevented.

In Bangladesh's growing corporate, healthcare, and industrial sectors, asset management discipline is increasingly demanded by internal auditors, external compliance bodies, and international management standards. Banks face Bangladesh Bank asset management requirements. Hospitals face pharmacy regulatory requirements from the Directorate General of Drug Administration (DGDA). Factories face international buyer social compliance audits that check asset security procedures. RMG factories with ISO 9001 certification require documented asset control procedures. We supply and deploy Gallagher's intelligent locker and key management systems — comprehensive, enterprise-grade solutions that create the documentation trail your auditors require while delivering the operational convenience your teams need.

Intelligent Smart Lockers

Electronic locker compartments with individual access control — RFID card, PIN, or biometric fingerprint — allocate dynamically to users rather than assigning fixed named lockers. Any authorised user gets the next available compartment; their belonging is locked to their credential. Management software shows every compartment's occupancy status in real time.

Electronic Key Management Cabinets

Gallagher key management cabinets store vehicle keys, building master keys, and equipment keys on individually controlled RFID-tagged key hooks. Only authorised users can release the specific keys they are permitted to access. Every key movement — check-out, return, late return, overdue — is logged with a timestamp and user ID.

Complete Audit Trail

Every system interaction — access granted, access denied, asset checked out, asset returned late, tamper detected, forced entry alarm — is logged with timestamp, user identity, asset identity, and terminal location. Audit reports are generated in one click for any time period, user, asset category, or location.

IT Asset Management

Laptops, tablets, cameras, test instruments, and shared IT equipment are managed through the locker system with chain-of-custody documentation from check-out to return. Serial number scanning at check-out and return verifies asset identity — preventing substitution of a damaged device for a good one during return. Integration with IT asset management systems provides a single source of truth for all device locations.

Medication Storage (Healthcare)

Pharmacy-grade controlled drug cabinets with biometric access and dual-authorisation options satisfy DGDA medication storage requirements. Every drug access event is logged with nurse name, patient ID (where integrated with the hospital information system), quantity removed, and time. Automated low-stock alerts prevent medication stockouts on wards.

Process

How it works

One accountable team from first site visit to handover — certified engineers, manufacturer-trained installers, and documented compliance at every stage.

  1. Asset Inventory & Access Policy Review

    We work with your security, facilities, IT, and HR teams to map every asset category that requires controlled access: vehicle keys, building master keys, IT devices, medication stocks, tools and test equipment, and restricted documents. For each category, we define the access policy: who is authorised to access this asset, under what conditions, for how long, and what return verification is required. This policy definition drives the system configuration.

  2. System Design

    We design the locker and key cabinet configuration for your requirements: number of key hooks or locker compartments, physical cabinet dimensions and placement locations, access credential type (RFID card, PIN, biometric), network connectivity (LAN/Wi-Fi), integration with your HR system (for automatic user provisioning) and Active Directory (for IT device loan authentication), and management software deployment (on-premise or cloud).

  3. Supply & Procurement

    Gallagher key management cabinets, smart locker arrays, and management software are procured through authorised channels with full manufacturer warranty and software assurance. Cabinet configurations — from 20-key desktop units to 200-key floor-standing cabinets — are specified to match your asset inventory. Smart locker modules are selected in the combination of compartment sizes required for your specific asset types.

  4. Installation & Integration

    Key management cabinets and smart locker arrays are installed in designated locations. Network connections are established for management software communication. Integration with your HR system — SAP HR, Oracle HRMS, or custom HR database — is configured to automatically create user records when employees join and deactivate access when employees leave. Active Directory integration enables IT device check-out to use existing corporate credentials.

  5. Asset Loading & Configuration

    Assets are registered in the management system: each vehicle key is tagged with an RFID token and linked to a vehicle record. Each IT device is registered with a serial number and asset tag. Medication storage configurations are reviewed with your pharmacy manager to ensure the system reflects formulary requirements and access authorisation levels. User access rights are configured per policy and verified by your security manager.

  6. Training & Handover

    System administrators receive comprehensive training on user management, access policy configuration, and report generation. End users receive a brief orientation on the check-out and return process for their specific asset type. You receive system documentation, access policies signed by key stakeholders, and audit report templates pre-configured for your compliance requirements. Ongoing software support and annual hardware maintenance are available through our support contract.

Applications

Built for every industry

Where this solution is deployed — and the compliance environment each sector brings with it.

Deployment site for security & locker management

Banking & Financial Services

Bank branches and headquarters manage large numbers of security keys — branch master keys, vault keys, alarm panel keys, server room keys, and vehicle fleet keys. Electronic key management eliminates the vulnerability of physical key boards and sign-out registers that are easily manipulated. Bangladesh Bank IT audit requirements for access control and audit trails are satisfied by the automated reporting our systems provide.

Hospitals & Healthcare

Hospitals require medication storage management that satisfies DGDA controlled drug requirements, IT device management for shared clinical tablets and portable monitoring equipment, and master key management for secure areas. Our Gallagher locker and key management systems integrate with hospital information systems for patient-linked drug dispensing records and with HR systems for automatic nurse access provisioning.

Garment & Textile Factories (RMG)

Factories with large production tool inventories and shared equipment pools use our tool management solution to reduce tool loss, prevent borrowing without authorisation, and satisfy ISO 9001 asset management clause requirements during certification audits. Vehicle key management controls access to factory forklifts, delivery vehicles, and fire response vehicles — preventing unauthorised use that creates liability and insurance risks.

Corporate Offices

Corporate offices manage shared equipment — cameras, projectors, laptop pools, and communication devices — alongside vehicle fleets and building master keys. Our smart locker system with IT asset management provides the chain of custody documentation that IT managers, facility managers, and auditors require, without the administrative burden of manual registers.

Hotels & Hospitality

Hotel key management is a significant operational and security challenge: guest room key sets, master keys for housekeeping, maintenance keys, and vehicle keys for the hotel fleet must all be accounted for at all times. Electronic key management prevents the unauthorised key access that creates guest security incidents and insurance liability — and provides the audit documentation that hotel security audits require.

Educational Institutions

Universities and schools manage IT equipment loans (laptops, tablets, cameras for student projects), laboratory equipment (oscilloscopes, microscopes, tools), and building keys across multiple buildings. Smart locker systems enable students to collect pre-booked equipment independently, without requiring a technician to be present — improving equipment utilisation and reducing technician labour hours.
