Tool Management Overview• Tool management software eliminates time spent searching for
equipment, cuts the cost of replacing misplaced tools, and handles the logistics of assigning tools to jobsites and personnel.
• Traditional tool tracking solutions are packaged with special purpose hardware for scanning barcodes and collecting data.
• The Intelligent Loop solution uses a smartphone’s ability to scan barcodes, acquire GPS, and touch screen data entry with dropdown menus to eliminate costly special purpose hardware.
• The management and reporting software is hosted in the cloud and securely accessible from any standard web-browser.
• Cloud-computing eliminates the need to install and maintain complex server software, which further saves costs and time.
