CAME KMS has collaborated with Amazon Logistics UK to incorporate Amazon Key access events into SimpleKey Web (SKW) systems installed on CAME KMS SK4 platforms.
This integration allows Amazon Key entry to buildings, logging these interactions as distinct events for a comprehensive audit trail.
Facilitating smoother deliveries to multi-tenant buildings, the Amazon Key service by Amazon Logistics UK addresses issues faced by residents with parcel deliveries due to the increasing trend in online shopping.
Enhanced Security and Privacy Measures
Security and privacy are critical factors in managing access to buildings and communal areas
Security and privacy are critical factors in managing access to buildings and communal areas, which can lead to delays in parcel delivery.
In response, Amazon Logistics UK works with Housing Associations and building proprietors to implement devices that work with door entry systems, granting Amazon delivery drivers controlled, time-limited access to deliver packages securely, mitigating failed delivery attempts, and ensuring only authorized Amazon drivers enter the premises within specified times.
SimpleKey Web and SK4 System Integration
The collaboration with Amazon Logistics UK empowers CAME KMS to integrate Amazon Key functionality and differentiate its entries in SimpleKey Web. This integration includes creating a new "event type" to ensure a comprehensive audit and monitoring process.
The SK4 system can facilitate remote operation of the door via the Amazon device, with client discretion to disable inputs if necessary. Building Managers can also apply time profiles to manage driver access times efficiently.
Simplified Integration Process
Amazon Logistics UK coordinates directly with clients to assess suitable locations and ensure compliance with guidelines on minimum unit dependencies. Collaborating closely with CAME KMS, installation is carried out by certified Amazon installers following a standardized process.
Necessary equipment, including a device with a plastic enclosure, power supply, antenna, and SIM card, will be provided by Amazon. The installation involves accessing the CAME KMS or CAME Entrotec enclosure to connect systems.
SimpleKey Web Availability
Beginning November 2025, UK customers using SimpleKey Web will have access to the Amazon Key feature at no additional charge. Users must request activation from CAME KMS as Amazon Key integration is not enabled by default.
This service from Amazon Logistics is available at no cost to eligible installations, aligning with the ongoing enhancement of the SimpleKey Web feature set.
CAME KMS have partnered with Amazon Logistics UK to integrate Amazon Key access events into SimpleKey Web (SKW) systems running on CAME KMS SK4 installations.
This deep integration both enables Amazon Key entry to a building and records Amazon Key activations as unique events for a full, reportable audit trail within SKW.
The Amazon Key system is a service provided by Amazon Logistics UK to streamline deliveries to multi-dwelling buildings. With the rise of online shopping and associated product deliveries, many building owners have identified the frustrations residents can have when receiving parcels.
Security and privacy considerations
Security and privacy considerations around who can access a building and its communal areas or individual apartments can result in parcels not being delivered in a timely or safe fashion.
Amazon Logistics UK can liaise with Housing Associations and building owners to develop a program installing devices that integrate with door entry systems to allow Amazon delivery drivers time-limited access to the building and leave packages in a secure location.
This reduces missed deliveries and ensures only registered Amazon drivers have access to the property for a limited time.
SimpleKey Web and SK4 Integration
In partnership with Amazon Logistics UK, CAME KMS have developed an integration process for the Amazon Key device alongside building a new “event type” into SimpleKey Web in order to differentiate Amazon Key entries from other door entry events.
This allows a full audit trail of Amazon Key entrance events to ensure the system is working as expected. While the Amazon device can open the door remotely from the SK4 system, due to the nature of the integration the input(s) can be disabled at any time on request from the client.
Building Managers can also apply a time profile on the Amazon Key input to manage access hours, limiting free Amazon driver access between approved times.
Integration Process
The integration process is straightforward:
- Amazon Logistics UK liaise with the client direct regarding assets and the identification of suitable sites, guidelines around minimum unit dependencies are applicable from Amazon.
- Liaise with CAME KMS for integration with SK4
- Installations are then carried out by Amazon trained and improved installers. CAME and Amazon have agreed to follow a default installation process for simplicity.
- Amazon supply the device along with the following: Separate plastic adaptable enclosure; 240v AC to 12vDC power supply; Antenna; SIM Card
- The installation will require access into the CAME KMS or CAME Entrotec enclosure in order to wire the systems together.
- Connect the two systems together
