Tool crib software that keeps the crib honest

What breaks a manual tool crib
Paper logs are half-filled, illegible, or missing. When a tool doesn’t come back to the crib, there’s no record of who took it. Every issue and return is a scan, logged with who and when.
Without live availability, the attendant walks the crib to answer “do we have one free?”. StockZip shows available, checked-out and overdue at a glance, so anyone can answer in a second.
Set a due date when a tool leaves the crib. StockZip flags it overdue and shows who has it, so the attendant can follow up before it’s gone for good.
Issue. Return. Restock.
Three scans the crib attendant and the crew learn in one shift — no new hardware, no training day.
A worker takes a tool; the attendant scans it out to them and sets a return date. Who, what and when land in the log automatically — even offline. (Check-out is a Starter feature; scanning and lookups are free.)
Scan the tool back in and the crib’s availability updates instantly. The full history stays on the item, so the audit trail is always current. (The audit log is a Starter feature.)
Move a batch from the crib to a service van or second site with one transfer — both locations update together, and low-stock alerts tell you when the crib itself needs replenishing.
