Know what you own, where it is, and when it needs calibrating.
Every tool, tester and ladder on one register with serial numbers, purchase price, receipts and who has it. Calibration warnings before the certificate you issue with it becomes worthless.
What's included
Serial numbers and receipts
The two things an insurer asks for and nobody has to hand. Stored against the tool from the day you buy it.
Who has it, and in which van
Assign a tool to a van, a store or a person. Stop the 'who took the SDS' conversation.
Calibration due warnings
An out-of-calibration instrument is grounds for rejecting the certificate you issued with it. You get told before that happens, not after.
Replacement value at a glance
The register totals what your kit is worth, so you know whether your cover is realistic.
Purchase history
Supplier, date and price kept against each item, which is what proves the tool was yours and legitimately bought.
Works with tags
Any item on the register can be given a scannable code. Same record, readable by anyone with a phone.
Tool Tracking & Equipment Register — your questions
Why does calibration matter so much?
If you issue a certificate using an instrument that was out of calibration on the day, the certificate can be challenged. The register warns you 30 days out so the tester goes away and comes back before it costs you a job.
Do I have to enter everything at once?
No. Most people add tools as they buy them and backfill the expensive items first. The register is more useful with ten real entries than a hundred half-finished ones.
What if a tool has no serial number?
You can still register it, and it will still take a tag. But an item with no serial and no tag is very hard to prove is yours, and insurers tend to settle low without one.
