What is Amazon Key for Business
Amazon Key for Business is designed to make it easier for Amazon’s drivers to make deliveries to apartment buildings, gated communities and other multi-unit locations. Rather than having to be buzzed in by residents or a concierge, a driver can use the system to gain temporary access to lobbies via the Amazon Flex app. Then packages can be delivered directly to residents or safely left behind in a mail room or with a doorman.
How Does Key for Business Work?
Amazon Key for Business installs on a building’s existing access control system. Once installed, the delivery driver can request access to the building through the Amazon delivery app on the day of delivery. Then, the driver goes through an authentication process to confirm identity upon arrival. This includes driver ID, route, location, and the time of access. They are then issued one-time, time-bound access to make deliveries.
How Do You Use Key for Business?
For your business to use Amazon Key, you provide detailed delivery instructions to Amazon. The instructions are sent directly to the driver, who when they get to your place of business, uses their Key For Business smart fob to gain access to public areas of your building, like hallways or mail rooms. Their credentials are vigorously checked beforehand and their location monitored by GPS during delivery. The access is just limited to that one delivery so they cannot enter again.
Can We Track Amazon Driver Access?
You can manage and track driver access to buildings, set delivery windows, and grant access at select entry points via your existing access system.

Does Amazon Key for Business Cost Money?

Is Amazon Key for Business Safe?
Amazon Key for Business is compatible with over 95% of secure access systems, and will NOT interfere with the functioning of your existing system. The Amazon driver goes through a process of facial scans at the time of package pickup and delivery to ensure that the driver that initially received the package is the person that is allowed access. Once the package is delivered, the Amazon driver no longer has access to the location.
Who Provides Installation and Maintenance?
Amazon has authorized The Brass Effect to install the Amazon Key for Business device at your location and provide any maintenance to the device as needed at no cost to the property.
