Paper tickets and time consuming Excel spreadsheet updates could not keep up with business requirements.
Prior to TOOTLRIBE, Kozeny Wagner updated and excel spreadsheets. This slow manual process did not keep up with the pace of inventory changes in the field, so it was often inaccurate or not updated at all.
Before TOOLTRIBE, we tracked all tool inventory through paper tickets and manual entry into spreadsheets. From the time the ticket was written to the time the entry was made into Excel, it was often not even accurate, making it very difficult to track anything.
Fast intuitive process that keeps pace with the field
TOOLTRIBE provides a simple process that shop and field employees can use in real time as inventory moves to and from projects and employees.
Now, our internal shop staff can go straight into TOOLTRIBE and record the changes to the asset; no more middle man. Creating new assets, making changes, linking to jobs in Procore is very easy and intuitive.
Driving efficiencies and visibility across the business
TOOLTRIBE empowers the shop team to drive the process, saving time and labor.
Instead of writing a ticket and then admin entering the data into a spreadsheet, the shop of field team simply makes the change themselves. One less person involved has greatly improved our process and saved us plenty of time.
With TOOLTRIBE all employees from the field to upper management have clear visibility to the inventory. This drives accountability and helps all levels of the organization make better decisions.
Greater visibility and organization has allowed us to see all our assets together, making for better decisions on whether we need to buy a new tool or not; perhaps we just need to move a tool from one job to another.
TOOLTRIBE has been a great tool to have while onboarding a new member who may not know all the types of equipment and tools we have, as the pictures are a great help.
