Tool Tracking Solutions And Applications

Consumable material such as screws, anchors, foam, cables, and PPE, is difficult to manage across jobsites and in the warehouse. This is because field personnel either forget to notify the purchaser when material is needed, which can stop production on the job, or they take too much material and generate waste which increases costs and reduces profit. ON!Track’s inventory functions makes consumable management easier and more transparent.

Benefits

• Maintain optimal inventory levels
• Receive alerts when it’s time to reorder
• Generate reports to monitor usage by person or location

• Receive alerts when safety items need to be reordered
• Track service and maintenance work on safety equipment
