Every company has valuable tools and equipment assigned to employees and job sites every day. There are questions that business owners should ask themselves:

• How much is it costing me each year in lost tools and equipment?
• How many duplicate tools do I unnecessarily buy?
• How can I save with a Tool Tracking Solution?

What is Tool Tracking? 

Tool tracking is the management of assets, anything from power tools, machinery, supplies, and IT equipment. A tool tracking system can reduce time searching for lost and misplaced tools and reduce losses by holding employees and subcontractors accountable for the equipment they use. Everything is tracked through a simple barcode scanning system. With a tool tracking system in place, you can get a full company snapshot of where each tool is at any given moment, schedule maintenance, track repairs, and more!

What are the benefits of a Tool Tracking System?

• Complete profit analysis
• Maintain tool inventory
• Increase employee accountability
