What Is Tool Tracking?

Tool Tracking Best Practices
Implementing effective tracking practices is essential for organizations that rely on tools and equipment to optimize their operations. Here are some best practices:
- Create an Inventory List: Establishing an accurate inventory of your organization's tools and equipment serves as the foundation for managing your tools. Include details about each asset, like the type of tool, serial number, purchase date, and current location.
- Choose the Right Software: Investing in a dedicated tool-tracking software like Cheqroom can help significantly streamline your management. Look for features like barcode or RFID tagging, real-time tracking capabilities, and robust reporting functionalities.
- Determine What Tools To Track: Categorize your tools by high-value and low-value based on their importance, value, and frequency of use to help you allocate resources efficiently.
- Assign Unique Identifiers to Each Tool: Every tool in your inventory should be assigned a unique identifier, such as a barcode, QR code, or RFID tag. These identifiers should be affixed to the tools and linked to your tracking system's digital record. Unique identifiers ensure each tool can be easily distinguished and tracked accurately with Cheqroom.
- Enable Tool Check-In and Check-Out: Implementing a system for checking out your tools helps prevent misplaced or lost tools. Scanning unique identifiers enhances accountability and provides a clear record of who is responsible for each tool.
