Morse Watchmans
"We invented key control. We never stopped innovating."
Morse Watchmans was founded in 1882, in the era of the guard-tour tape clock. The Pires family took stewardship in the early 1980s and, in 1991, invented the category that now defines the company: automated electronic key control, with the original KeyWatcher Boss 2000.
Today KeyWatcher cabinets secure keys, credentials, and assets in corrections facilities, casinos, data centers, and automotive dealer groups across more than seventy countries. The software layer — KeyPro — ties each issue to a user, a time, a policy, and an audit.
Morse joined TouchPoint in 2021 as the founding company of the Intelligent Inventory Management platform. More than 140 years after its founding, the company still does one thing: it accounts for what has to be accounted for.
