Lock Activities are now Real-Time!
We are excited to announce that our Lock Activities List Views have undergone a significant upgrade and are now updating in Real-Time!
You’ll no longer have to wait for updates or constantly refresh your browser - all new activities will be displayed immediately as they happen. This is just the beginning of making BoxLock Control a true real-time dashboard for your access control activities on site.
Locks, Barcodes and Trackables List View Updates
We’ve now implemented the same List View updates we previously brought to Locations to the list views for Locks, Barcodes, and Trackables. This is a big improvement to the overall user experience. These updates consist of enhanced visual displays, more detailed information, and improved filtering. Now, you can view your Locks, Barcodes, and Trackables in a more organized manner, making it simpler for you to manage and track your items.
Milwaukee Integration
BoxLock now integrates with Milwaukee ONE-KEY™, Milwaukee Tool’s connectivity platform. This expands the industry’s largest Bluetooth®️ tracking community with a new set of gateways to upload sensor data to the platform. With the BoxLock and ONE-KEY™ integration enabled, BoxLock devices on the jobsite create a network of Bluetooth gateways uploading Milwaukee tools and tags into the ONE-KEY™ system.
With the Milwaukee ONE-KEY™ integration, BoxLock is now the only gateway solution in market capable of supporting Bluetooth tags from all major tool manufacturers.
ONE-KEY™ can be enabled in BoxLock Control under Account → Org → Integrations.
New Lock Geolocation Tab on a Location
We’ve made improvement to our Locations feature by introducing a new 'Lock Geolocation' tab. This addition allows you to visualize the most recent locations of all the Locks associated with a specific Location in one view. You can now easily compare these locations relative to the official address of the Location. This feature provides a more comprehensive view of the Locks' locations, making it easier to manage and monitor their current status.
Prokeep Integration
BoxLock is now integrated with Prokeep, a multi-channel messaging platform tailored for distributors, to enhance communication specifically for BoxLock Will Call and Unattended Pickup customers. Prokeep streamlines communication through text messaging, email, web chat, and digital fax, all within a centralized workspace. Key features include automated responses, message forwarding, and real-time notifications, ensuring timely and reliable communication.
This integration is particularly beneficial for managing Will Call and Unattended Pickup scenarios, allowing distributors to send updates, notifications, and handle customer inquiries efficiently leveraging. Prokeep’s platform reduces the time spent on phone calls and prevents miscommunication, helping sales representatives focus on their core tasks and improving overall customer satisfaction.
Improvements
- We added Firmware back to the Lock List view, making it easier to identify which Locks need to be updated.
- We updated the Signal Strength icon on Status Updates and Locks to accurately represent the latest Signal Strength.
- We added a new warning dialog box to let a User know if they’re adding a Barcode value that already exists in the system, letting them know that there could be a conflict.
- Trackables of type Tool now have a Manufacturer field.
- Locks in list view that have not connected recently now display a warning icon in the Statuses section.
- Intrusion Force can now be set in Lock Configurations to 1/8th of a G. The interface currently allows for decimals and is rounded to the nearest 0.125 up to 8 G’s of force.
- We’ve made a number of improvements to streamline the reliability of Geolocation information when toggling between GPS mode and Cell Triangulation.
- Alarm Mode now performs as expected. With the current firmware, depending on the duration between status updates, those arming the Alarm will want to reboot the lock after it has been armed or disarmed to ensure that the lock downloads the updated Lock Configuration.
Bug Fixes
- We improved the reliability of the new cell phone bands reporting.
- We resolved an issue that sometimes prevented barcodes from being able to be added to Apple Wallet.
- We fixed an issue that inadvertently caused Locks to show incorrect information on whether the Lock was connected via Cellular or Wi-Fi
