PAAM Systems has launched operations in the UK, with a new satellite team based in Bristol.
PAAM Systems is a Swedish provider of digital key management solutions for estates and facilities environments.
The company, which has spent 36 years working with public and private healthcare organisations in Scandinavia, is now bringing its digital platform to the UK market.
The system is designed to securely track, control and manage physical keys across multiple users, sites or departments.
It aims to replace manual key logs and traditional audit processes with a centralised digital system, providing real-time visibility of key usage and reducing the risk of loss or misuse.
The company says the move comes amid growing demand for improved estates security and efficiency across UK healthcare settings
“I see replacement costs for keys on operational budgets constantly and consistently. It is a real, everyday issue across the whole NHS,” said Dr Rachel Hampson, Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (FRICS), which represents professionals in the land, property and built environment sectors.
“PAAM takes us from an analogue challenge through to a digital solution. There is real value in this system and approach that can help reduce that burden,” she added.
The company’s Director and Chief Executive, Magnus Lantz, said the UK expansion had been carefully timed following long-term development in its home markets.
“We pride ourselves on our values and how we’ve built this business on solid foundations, in a considered, sustainable way at a measured pace,” Lantz said. “We were confident this could translate to the same standard we offer our current, long-standing clients in Scandinavia.”.
The system is intended for use across UK healthcare estates, where physical key control, auditability and security remain operational challenges.
