Traditional keyholding relies on physical key depots, single-provider fleets and manual dispatch. AURA provides flexible response models: a many-to-one aggregated network for rapid external patrols or sites with on-site key safes or keyless access, and direct one-to-one service partner allocation when physical keys must be held. Dispatched automatically via GPS software, AURA delivers faster UK arrival times, real-time tracking and seamless ARC integration.

AURA replaces single-provider contracts where there is no physical key, using secure key safes, digital access-control integrations or keyless locks. Where a physical key is held off-site, AURA still provides traditional keyholding through accredited local partners, enhanced with digital transparency, real-time tracking, automated reporting and fast response.

AURA connects directly to ARC platforms such as Sentinel and Immix via open APIs to automate dispatches and status updates. AURA’s 24/7 control room also monitors dispatches and handles on-site exceptions directly, reducing manual work for ARC operators.

Unlike traditional retainer fees and variable call-out surcharges, AURA provides predictable wholesale rates and pooled pricing that installers and ARCs can package into recurring monthly revenue models.
