CONSTRUCTION TOOL TRACKING
Help Center
Guidance for getting started, QR labels, tool tracking, workers, locations, imports, and account settings.
GETTING STARTED
Find the right next step for your crew.
Use these guides to understand the product workflow, the data it is designed to hold, and the decisions that still need production configuration.
FIRST SETUP
A useful first pass takes three steps.
Keep the first workspace small enough to test at a real handoff.
List the tools that move
Start with reusable tools and equipment that your crew shares between people, trucks, the shop, and job sites.
Label the handoff point
Place a QR label where a worker can scan it quickly without opening a desktop spreadsheet.
Record the next move
Use TAKE, MOVE, or RETURN with the current holder, location, condition, and a durable history.

Getting Started
Plan your first tool workflow
Choose a small group of reusable tools and agree on where each handoff should be recorded.
Read articleTool Tracking
Understand TAKE, MOVE, and RETURN
Each action should leave a readable record of the tool, person, place, and time.
Read articleWorkers
Prepare worker access
Keep admin accounts separate from field worker access on shared devices.
Read articleLocations
Set up useful locations
Use locations that match the physical places your crew checks first.
Read articleDamage
Record damage at the handoff
Keep a damage report connected to the affected tool and its movement history.
Read articleMaintenance
Keep service history with the tool
Track lightweight service context without turning tool tracking into a full maintenance system.
Read articleImport / Export
Prepare a spreadsheet import
Make the source list predictable before mapping columns and generating QR labels.
Read articleBilling
Compare plans and capacity
Plans are based on active tools, admins, and storage; field workers remain unlimited.
Read articleAccount & Privacy
Understand data access and requests
Company records should be scoped to the workspace and privacy actions should be verified.
Read articleTroubleshooting
Check a missing tool record
Start with the last recorded holder, location, and movement event.
Read articleCOMMON QUESTIONS
What the product does — and does not do.
Does TakeMoveReturn require a native app?
The field workflow is designed for a phone browser. A native app is not required for the QR-based product direction.
Does it provide GPS or live fleet tracking?
No. TakeMoveReturn records authenticated custody and location events for reusable tools; it is not a GPS, telematics, or fleet platform.
What belongs in a tool record?
A reusable tool or piece of equipment, its QR label, current holder, location, condition, and movement history. Consumable materials belong in a separate inventory process.
How should I prepare an import?
Start with one stable identifier per reusable tool, a clear name, and any current holder or location notes. Production import will validate rows before creating records.
What happens before the secure services are connected?
The public preview remains read-only. It does not submit credentials, create company records, or show made-up tool activity.
Is the production support channel live?
The public support address is only shown after the support environment variable is configured. The current page does not invent a contact address.
PREVIEW STATUS
Read the workflow before connecting services.
The public site is available for product and content review. Support is available by email; authentication, company records, imports, and billing remain unavailable until their secure services are configured.
Contact supportDATA BOUNDARY
No sample activity is shown.
Empty states are intentional: they keep the preview honest while protecting future company-scoped data from being mixed with marketing content.
