Frequently Asked Questions

How does ToolWatch help mechanical contractors track specialized tools and equipment?

Mechanical work relies on specialized tools, and losing even one can throw off an entire job. ToolWatch helps you keep track of every piece of equipment by:

  • Assigning tools to specific jobs, techs, or trucks, so you always know where they are.
  • Providing real-time location tracking, so nothing goes missing between job sites.
  • Setting alerts for overdue tool returns, preventing delays and unnecessary replacements.

With ToolWatch, your tools stay where they should be—working, not wandering.

Can ToolWatch help manage my inventory of pipes, fittings, and materials?

Absolutely! Ordering too much? Running out mid-job? ToolWatch eliminates these problems by:

  • Tracking material levels in real time, so you know what’s available before placing orders.
  • Reducing waste and overbuying by monitoring inventory movement across job sites.
  • Providing usage reports, helping you plan more accurate material estimates.

No more scrambling for missing fittings—just smarter material management and fewer delays.

How does ToolWatch improve job costing and billing accuracy?

Billing errors can eat into profits, especially if tool and material costs aren’t tracked properly. ToolWatch helps you:

  • Log tool and equipment usage per project, so you can charge accurately.
  • Track consumables and materials, ensuring every cost is accounted for.
  • Generate reports that break down expenses, making client billing and internal budgeting easy.

With ToolWatch, you know exactly where your money is going—no more guessing.
