Frequently Asked Questions
What people ask before they start: how a tool actually gets handed over, what happens with no signal, who can see your data, and what stays yours if you leave.
A phone app for the people on site and a web console for the office, both on the same data. It keeps track of tools, consumables and vehicles: who has what, where it is, since when, and whose signature took it out of the warehouse.
Construction, installation and maintenance firms — anywhere tools leave a store in someone's hands. It works the same for a crew of five and a crew of a hundred; what changes is the plan, not the app.
Whoever gives the tool out scans its label, picks the person taking it, and confirms. If the company has handover reports switched on, both sign on the same phone — the one handing over first, the one receiving second — and out comes a PDF with both signatures, attached to that tool's history. Nobody helps themselves: one person hands over to another, and that is what makes the record worth something later.
The phones you already have, Android or iPhone, plus labels on the equipment — QR or Code-128 barcodes, whichever the company prefers. The office console opens in any browser, with nothing to install.
Data sits in Google Cloud, encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256). Keeping companies apart is not filtering done in the app but a rule on the server: every request is checked against the company the account belongs to, so one company's data cannot reach another even by mistake.
You carry on working. Handovers, scans and stocktakes are saved on the phone and go up on their own once there is a signal. The signed report too: the PDF waits in a queue on the phone and attaches itself to the tool's history when the network comes back, even if you closed the app in between. Three things need a connection by their nature: creating an account, deleting one, and online barcode lookup.
Six kinds of item. Individual tools and accessories — batteries, chucks — tracked on their own or as part of a set. Sets: the grinder with its batteries and charger, handed over as one thing. Consumables and construction materials, counted by quantity. And containers: the case or cabinet the rest sit in, which take their contents with them when they move. Every item has its own history and state.
You define your locations — warehouses, site stores, work points — and the vehicles in the fleet. Each has one or more people responsible, with equal rights: any of them can send assets on. If you need something sitting elsewhere, you request it, and whoever is responsible there approves and sends. The record shows who made the move. How many locations you get depends on the plan.
It stays yours and it stays visible. The server rules only stop you starting up a module you have not paid for — reading, editing and exporting stay open, so a company that drops down a plan still sees its whole inventory. And if you want to leave altogether, the company admin pulls an archive of all the company data out of Settings: one CSV file per category, which opens straight in Excel, plus a JSON file for importing into another system. Data is not held hostage.
