Solution Architecture
The MedixSafe solution is a fully cloud-architected platform. Your IT organization does not need to manage or maintain any infrastructure. All updates and future feature enhancements are automatically delivered to you through our software releases. In 2024, we delivered incremental value in 6 separate software releases to customers including: 2-person authentication, UI/UX enhancements, new device firmware that detects customer network issues.
Biometric vs PIN or Badge Access
Many organizations realize PIN or Badge access alone is not secure. PINs or Badges are often shared between employees, which compromises audit records used with the DEA. Access to each MedixSafe can be customized based on access requirements: Biometrics, Badge, PIN/UserID.
Batteries are expensive.
Safes that run on battery power, like CompX E-lock are extremely costly to replace. We have examples of customers spending $10K+ year on batteries alone. The MedixSafe solution leverages the power supplied by the vehicle – and we also offer a battery back-up in the case of sustained power outage.
Choice of Safe Size
MedixSafe has 6 standard safe sizes – ranging from compact vehicle safes to very large 2-compartment safes. We often hear this as a reason for switching.
Hardware Warranty & Unlimited Live Technical Support
MedixSafe has the only hardware warranty that continues for as along as you are an active customer. Most alternatives expire after 1 or 2 years. We offer live technical support for as long as you are an active customer. We often hear our level of technical support is a differentiator for us as well.
