Know where every tool is.

Tools and equipment tracking for contractors. Who has it, which job or yard it's at, whether it's out, in repair or missing, and every move it ever made, with photos and comments. Built with an electrical contractor and in early access now.

No self-serve sign-up yet: we set up each company with you, and bring your list over from Excel. Already set up? Sign in with your work email.

The Tools & Equip inventory with demo data: counts of tools available, out, on jobs, in repair and missing, a search box with filters, and a list of tools showing the job or yard each one is at, who has it and its status.

How it works

Up and running from the spreadsheet you already keep.

  1. Bring your list

    Import your tools, jobs, people, yards and categories from Excel or CSV with our templates, or add them by hand. Your tool numbers stay the same.

  2. Invite your people

    Add the office, the crib, PMs and the field. Each person signs in with a code sent to their email. No passwords to hand out.

  3. Move tools, keep the record

    Check out to a job or a person, back to the yard, off for service. Every move is written down with who, when and a note.

Features

The whole fleet, from hand benders to scissor lifts.

One list for every tool and machine you own, kept by the people who move them. These screens are the real app, filled with made-up demo data.

Inventory list: each tool's number, description, make and model, where it is and its status.

01 · Who has it, where it is

Stop calling around for the bender.

Every item is at a yard, shop or location, or out on a job, and separately in a person's name. Search by number, description, make, model, serial, job or person, and filter down in a click.

  • Counts at the top: available, out, on jobs, in repair, missing
  • Tools, equipment and other items, sorted your way
  • Your existing numbers and categories, kept as they are
A hydraulic bender's comments and history with demo data: checked out from the yard to a job and a person, checked in, moved between jobs, sent to a repair vendor and back, each with the date, who did it and a note.

02 · Full history

Every move, on the record.

Checked out, moved between jobs, sent for repair, back from repair: each step is a line in the item's history with who did it, when, from where to where, and a note. Recorded moves can't be edited or deleted afterwards.

  • Photos on each item, or one photo shared by every item of the same make and model
  • Comments from anyone in the company
  • Check out, check in, move to a job or location, assign, send for service, mark missing

Jobs, people and places in the app

Keep your jobs (with their PM), people and yards right in Tools & Equip, or import them. No ERP or accounting link needed. A job with no number yet works too, for staging gear.

Roles that fit the shop

Admins run the company, the crib moves and edits, PMs look up the whole fleet, the field looks tools up and comments.

Service and inspections

Send items out for service and bring them back. Log service and set intervals; the iPhone and iPad app shows what's due and what's overdue.

One login, several companies

Work for more than one company? Sign in once and switch between them. Each company's data is kept apart from every other company's.

Sign in with an email code

No passwords. Type your work email, get a 6-digit code, you're in. People only see a company once its admin invites them.

Your logo and colours Coming

Each company will get its own logo and colours inside the app. Not built yet: it's next on the list.

Bring your list

Your spreadsheet in, problems out.

Start from what you have today: a spreadsheet, an export from your old tool system, or a list on paper.

  1. Download a template. Excel with dropdowns, an Examples sheet and a Read me, or a plain CSV.
  2. Upload it. Choose to add new rows only, or add new and update existing.
  3. Fix what the preview finds. Every problem is listed by row and column before anything is saved: missing fields, duplicate numbers, unknown categories or places.
  4. Import. Export the current list to Excel or CSV any time.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Can I sign up today?

Not on your own yet. Tools & Equip is in early access and in use with its first contractor. Request early access and we'll set up your company with you, including bringing your list over.

What does it cost?

There's no price list yet. Pricing will be worked out with early-access companies; nothing is charged without an agreement first.

Do we need an ERP or accounting system?

No. Jobs, people and locations live in Tools & Equip. Add them by hand or import them from Excel or CSV.

We already have a spreadsheet, or another tool system.

Good: that's what the import is for. Use the templates, upload, and the preview lists every problem by row before anything is saved. Your existing tool numbers and categories stay the same.

Is there a phone app?

The web app works in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer. There is also an iPhone and iPad app with tag scanning and photos; it's in early access and not on the public App Store yet.

Who can see our tools?

Only people your admin invites to your company, each with a role: admin, crib, PM or field. Each company's records are kept separate from every other company's in the database.

Can it show our logo and colours?

That's coming: each company will set its own logo and colours. It isn't built yet.

How do people sign in?

With their work email. They type it, get a 6-digit code by email, and enter it. There are no passwords to remember or reset.
