Equipment Tracking: The Best Ways To Track Your Tools and Equipment

Tracking all of your tools and equipment may not be as easy as you think. If you have a lot of tools and equipment the tracking process may seem somewhat impossible. As a result, it’s likely that you have lost or misplaced your tools from time to time. You may have even had to purchase new tools to replace those you have lost. 

Here is where itemit’s equipment tracking software can help you. Our software is reliable, easy to use, and it can help you to track every single piece of equipment you own. You can also track all of your tools from your hammers to your shovels, and your electrical testing equipment to your vans. 

Here’s how you too can take advantage of our equipment tracking in the best possible ways:

It is possible to track the location of all of your tools and equipment with ease. When you attach a QR code to everything you can track it all. Attaching a QR code is easy. All you have to do once the QR code is attached is to create a digital profile for that tool. As soon as a digital profile has been created you can input as much information about the tool (or equipment) as you wish. 

You can add information such as:

• The name, make and model 
• The date and price of purchase
• The estimated life span 
• The maintenance schedule
• A photograph
• Notes 
• The warranty and insurance details 
• The instruction manual and information
• And so much more 

The more information that you add about each tool or piece of equipment you have, the better. It ensures that those who use the tool in future can gain access to a lot of information about it. For example, if a user wishes to know how to operate one of your excavators they can read the instruction manual. If the manual has been uploaded to our equipment tracking software it can be accessed with ease. Alternatively, it’s possible to add a link to the PDF so that it too can be accessed with ease.

There is a real potential here for you to save a lot of time. All of the information that you need will be available at the tips of your fingers. As a result, everyone can become slightly more productive and help your business to blossom.

Did you know that itemit’s equipment tracking software allows you to check equipment in and out? This feature allows you to see who the current and last users were. When this feature is combined with location tracking it adds an extra layer of security. As a result, tools and equipment are a lot less likely to go missing. 

The check in and out feature also allows you to see which users have which tools. Therefore, you have a better idea as to whether the right tools are in the right location. All that you have to do is check the location of the tools individually or as a group. You can see who has what and where they are. Again, this helps to improve security.

When you use our equipment tracking software you aren’t limited to just tracking your tools and equipment. You can do so much more with it. 

One of the additional features of our tracking software is that it allows you to create important reminders. You can, for example, set a reminder when it’s time to send a piece of equipment for maintenance. You can also see when a specific piece of equipment was last repaired and why. This is thanks to the historical data that is created every time you log into itemit’s software. 

When it’s time for a piece of equipment to undergo maintenance you will receive a reminder. This is assuming that you have set up a maintenance schedule. A schedule such as this will need to be set up for all of your equipment and tools. However, once it’s done, you’ll be reminded at your preferred intervals. As a result, all of your tools and equipment are likely to be in better condition.

Use itemit’s equipment tracking to help you to track all of your tools and equipment with ease. Thanks to the unique way that our tracking software works it’s possible to track everything 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There’s also a real opportunity for you to track multiple aspects of every tool and piece of equipment that you have.
