CAME KMS has established a partnership with Amazon Logistics UK, facilitating the integration of Amazon Key access events within SimpleKey Web (SKW) systems operating on CAME KMS SK4 installations.
This collaboration enables Amazon Key access to buildings and records these activations as distinct events, providing a comprehensive and auditable trail within the SKW system.
Streamlining deliveries to multi-dwelling buildings
Security and privacy issues concerning building access can lead to delays in package delivery
Amazon Key, a service from Amazon Logistics UK, aims to enhance delivery efficiency to multi-dwelling residences.
As online shopping proliferates, building owners increasingly notice resident frustrations concerning parcel delivery. Security and privacy issues concerning building access can lead to delays in package delivery.
To address this, Amazon Logistics UK cooperates with Housing Associations and building owners to implement devices that integrate with door entry systems. This integration grants Amazon delivery personnel controlled access, allowing them to leave parcels securely and reducing missed deliveries. Only authorised Amazon drivers receive time-limited access to the premises.
Enhanced auditing and privacy for SKW users
Thanks to a collaboration with Amazon Logistics UK, CAME KMS has crafted an integration method for Amazon Key devices within SimpleKey Web. This development introduces a new event classification, distinguishing Amazon Key entries from other access events.
It ensures complete auditing of Amazon Key access, verifying system functionality. Additionally, clients can disable inputs anytime per their request, and building managers can enforce time constraints to manage access.
Simplified integration and installation process
The integration workflow is structured methodically. Amazon Logistics UK coordinates with clients to identify appropriate sites, adhering to Amazon's guidelines. CAME KMS manages SK4 integration, with Amazon-trained installers executing the installations following an agreed standard procedure for uniformity.
Amazon provides necessary equipment, including an adaptable enclosure, power supply, antenna, and SIM card. System wiring requires access to CAME KMS or CAME Entrotec enclosures to connect the devices effectively.
Availability and terms for SimpleKey web users
From November 2025, UK-based SKW customers will have access to the Amazon Key feature without incurred costs, as part of the ongoing SKW feature expansions.
Activation is not automatic; SKW users must request CAME KMS to initiate and test the functionality in SK4. Similarly, the Amazon Key service from Amazon Logistics is provided free of charge to qualifying installations.
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 programme 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. Whilst 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
SimpleKey Web Rollout
The Amazon Key product feature will be available to UK SKW customers from November 2025. There is no cost to for the SKW integration, these developments form part of the continued feature set expansion within SimpleKey Web.
Amazon Key integration is not turned on by default and SKW users will have to request activation and testing from CAME KMS to open up the tools in SK4.
The Amazon Key service provided by Amazon Logistics is available at no cost to qualifying installations.
