Tool tracking software that keeps every tool accountable

Tool tracking software that replaces the sign-out clipboard with a scan. Label your tools, check them out to the worker taking them, and see who has what from one screen — on the phone your crew already carries. Scanning and organising your tools are free; checking tools out to people is on Starter.

Where a tool inventory falls apart

“Tools walk off and nobody knows where”

Drills, saws and testers move between people, vans and sites all day. With no scan on every hand-off, a tool goes missing and there is no record of who had it last. A scan-based check-out logs who, what and when automatically.

“We bought a third impact driver we already own”

When a tool can’t be located, someone buys a duplicate — while the original sits in a truck or a locker. A location and an owner on every tool ends the guessing and the wasted spend.

“The sign-out sheet is illegible or gone”

Paper logs get rained on, half-filled or left in a cab. StockZip’s log is always current: every check-out and return is a scan, timestamped and attached to the tool and the person.

The tool loop

Label. Check out. Return.

Three scan-first routines a crew learns in one shift — no new hardware, no training day. Scanning and folders are free; check-out, the audit log and label printing are on Starter.

01 · Label & organise

Print QR or barcode labels and file every tool under a crib, van, site or locker folder, up to six levels deep. Reuse a barcode a tool already carries, or print your own, then scan to open its card in about two seconds. (Folders and scanning are free; label printing is a Starter feature.)

02 · Check out to a worker

Scan a tool out to the person taking it and set a return date. StockZip logs who has it and flags anything overdue so it comes back. (Check-in / check-out is a Starter feature.)

03 · Return & audit

Scan a tool back in and availability updates instantly. Walk a van or crib, scan everything, and see what is missing versus what should be there — even offline. Every move is written to a full audit log. (The audit log is a Starter feature.)

Tool tracking software FAQ

Tool tracking software FAQ

Straight answers on check-out, the free tier, offline use, and which specific setup fits you.

Tool tracking software replaces paper sign-out sheets with a scan: a worker scans a barcode or QR label to take a tool and scans it back to return it, so you always know who has what, when it is due back, and what is available. StockZip does this on a phone — no dedicated scanner gun and no per-tool fees — and it works offline in a crib, a van or on site.
