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 set up a workspace, track handoffs, and understand which features are available today.
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 to keep the holder, location, and movement history current. Report damage separately.

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. The import flow validates mapped rows, company duplicates and plan capacity before creating records in background batches.
Can my crew use the workspace now?
Yes. You can register, create a company workspace, add tools and locations, record authorized QR handoffs, and import a reviewed CSV or XLSX tool list in background batches.
Is the support channel live?
Yes. The published support address receives mail. Please do not include passwords or worker PINs.
CURRENT AVAILABILITY
Registration and field handoffs are open.
Confirmed users can create a workspace, register tools, workers and locations, import a reviewed spreadsheet, and use an enrolled device for QR TAKE, MOVE and RETURN. Private photo and maintenance attachment controls are available in enabled workspaces. Automatic reminders are not available yet.
