Staff turnover is one of the biggest challenges property managers deal with. Leasing agents move on, maintenance crews change, and managers shift between communities. These transitions are inevitable, but problems arise when critical knowledge and security practices leave with departing employees.
One area most at risk during these changes is key management. Communities that still rely on paper logs, spreadsheets, or unsecured storage often face incomplete records, misplaced keys, or gaps in accountability. This not only adds stress for managers but also increases liability and erodes resident trust.
The Risks of Outdated Processes
Lost knowledge: Manual systems depend on employees remembering how things are done. When they leave, that information often disappears with them.
Inconsistent practices: Without a standardized process, new hires may mishandle keys and create confusion.
Audit and compliance gaps: Missing logs or incomplete signatures can cause issues during inspections.
Security risks: Unsecured keys or unclear permissions leave communities exposed to unauthorized entry.
How HandyTrac Keeps Operations Steady
HandyTrac removes the reliance on individual staff by automating and standardizing key control. Processes stay consistent whether the team is fully staffed or in transition.

Role based access control: Administrators can quickly update or revoke access when staff leave, eliminating the risk of leftover permissions.

Portfolio wide consistency: For managers overseeing multiple communities, HandyTrac creates uniform procedures across all locations.
