Replace the paper tool-crib log with QR check-in/out. Set a due-back date when needed, see overdue tools, and follow up while keeping holder and history visible.
18 quick steps: add a tool, print its label, check it out and back in. No signup.
Tool crib management software digitizes the crib's serialized-tool checkout record. OrbitEquip replaces the paper logbook with QR labels and browser scanning, recording who checked out a tool and when. Add an optional return due date, see overdue tools, and send checkout reminder emails. The dashboard shows recorded status, current holder, history, and reported issues. It is a lightweight custody workflow, not a full industrial crib suite.
OrbitEquip gives you a lightweight digital crib log for serialized tools. Record QR check-in/out, current holder, status, location, and history; set an optional due-back date, see overdue tools, and send checkout reminder emails. Report issues with descriptions and photos before the next checkout. OrbitEquip QR remains canonical, with an optional existing/manufacturer barcode available for identification and search. This is an accountability layer, not a complete industrial crib suite.
A paper entry can be skipped or become difficult to read, leaving the next shift without a dependable checkout record.
When a tool is not on the shelf, staff need to know which team member last checked it out instead of searching through a logbook.
A damaged tool can return to the counter with no shared record of the issue, photo, status, or resolution.
When one shift ends and another begins, staff need to see which tools are due back or overdue and who last checked them out.
Finding a tester, torque tool, or specialty item is harder when the crib has no searchable category, location, or status record.
Print a QR label for every tool. Crews scan to check items out and back in from a compatible phone browser. No paperwork, no spreadsheets.
Set optional return due dates, see overdue tools, and send checkout reminder emails while keeping each handoff in history.
Keep one primary photo and an optional existing/manufacturer barcode with each tool. OrbitEquip QR remains the canonical identifier.
Find any tool by name, serial number, OrbitEquip QR/code, or existing barcode. Filter by status, category, or location in one click.
Report issues with photos, schedule one-time work, and manage recurring preventive-maintenance schedules with pause, resume, and automatic next occurrences. Maintenance reminder emails for eligible scheduled work are available on active Starter-or-higher subscriptions.
Create a location for each jobsite, service van, shop, or tool crib, and assign every tool to where it belongs.
Record a drill, torque tool, tester, or specialty item as it leaves the crib, with an optional due-back date for follow-up.
Review open checkouts and recent returns when one crib shift hands over to another.
