ON!Track Alternative

The tool tracking app
your field crews will actually use.

ON!Track is powerful — but if your crews won't use it in the field, that power is wasted. TOOLTRIBE gives you the same visibility with an app anyone can learn in minutes.

Why contractors switch

What contractors are
looking for when they switch.

Here's what contractors tell us they want when they explore a switch — and how TOOLTRIBE delivers it.

01

An App Crews Learn in Minutes

Two-tap checkout that even your busiest, least tech-savvy crew members pick up on day one. A tracking system only pays off when the field actually uses it.

02

Nothing to Buy but the Software

QR codes and serial scans with the phone camera your crews already carry. No Bluetooth tags, gateways, or replacement hardware in the budget.

03

Tracking This Week, Not Next Quarter

Self-serve start-up: add a tool in 30 seconds and roll out crew by crew — no productivity analysis or hardware deployment first.

04

Every Brand, One System

From a Hilti rotary hammer to a no-name extension cord — every tool, every manufacturer, tracked the same way in one inventory.

Head to head

We'll show you where we win — and where Hilti ON!Track has the edge.

Mobile App Experience

TOOLTRIBE
TOOLTRIBE

Built mobile-first. Field crews check out tools in two taps. Add a tool in 30 seconds by snapping a photo.

Hilti ON!Track

Full-featured and recently redesigned, but oriented to asset and warehouse managers — field transfers carry a steeper learning curve.

Tracking Method

TOOLTRIBE
TOOLTRIBE

QR codes and serial number scans using your phone camera. Works offline in dead zones and syncs when you reconnect. No hardware needed.

Hilti ON!Track

Active tracking runs on Hilti smart tags (about $30 each in 20-packs) and gateways — capable hardware, but a purchase and rollout for every jobsite.

Setup & Onboarding

TOOLTRIBE
TOOLTRIBE

Self-service start-up. Add a tool in 30 seconds with your phone. Your team can be tracking tools the same day you sign up. Or we can import your data for you and provide a personalized onboarding experience.

Hilti ON!Track

A structured implementation — productivity analysis, hardware orders, tag deployment. Thorough, but tracking typically starts weeks or months after purchase.

Field Adoption

TOOLTRIBE
TOOLTRIBE

Designed so even your busiest, least tech-savvy crew members can use it. Field teams see what they own and request what they need.

Hilti ON!Track

Powerful for warehouse and asset managers. Getting field crews to use it daily takes more training and change management than most crews get.

Pricing

TOOLTRIBE
TOOLTRIBE

Starts at $100/month for 10 users. Unlimited tools on every plan. No hardware costs.

Hilti ON!Track

Quote-based software tiers plus smart tags and gateways. Total cost scales with fleet size and hardware footprint.

Maintenance & Repairs

Hilti ON!Track
TOOLTRIBE

Automated preventive maintenance reminders. Request service or mark service complete from the app. Inspection tracking built in.

Hilti ON!Track

Strong maintenance scheduling, especially for Hilti-branded tools. Seamless integration with Hilti's repair and fleet services.

Hilti Ecosystem

Hilti ON!Track
TOOLTRIBE

Works with any brand of tool or equipment. Not locked into a single manufacturer's ecosystem.

Hilti ON!Track

Best-in-class integration with Hilti fleet management, leasing, and repair programs. Ideal if your fleet is primarily Hilti.

Make the switch

TOOLTRIBE is for you if...

Your field teams struggle to adopt your current system
You want to be tracking tools this week, not next quarter
You don't want to buy and manage Bluetooth tags
You track tools from multiple brands, not just Hilti
You need project billing to turn tools into a profit center

Keep what works

Stay with ON!Track if...

Your fleet is primarily Hilti and you rely on their repair and leasing programs
You need automated gateway-based tracking without human scans
You've already invested heavily in ON!Track hardware with strong adoption

We'd rather be honest than oversell. The right tool depends on your needs.

“Before TOOLTRIBE, we used a different tool management software that was focused on just the warehouse. We were losing tools a lot out in the field because the guys on the projects didn't know what they had on site.
We were looking at all the different options and TOOLTRIBE seemed the most user-friendly. It integrated the office and the field personnel. So everyone is taking responsibility for the equipment and tools.”
