Track press tools, drain cameras, threaders, and inspection equipment across service vans and jobsites with browser-based QR check-in/out.
Tool management software for plumbers tracks reusable tools and equipment across service vans, the shop, and jobsites. OrbitEquip uses printable QR labels and phone-browser scanning to record who checked out a tool, its assigned location, its current status, and its return history. It is for serialized equipment, not consumable plumbing materials.
OrbitEquip gives plumbing contractors a simple way to track reusable tools and equipment. Print QR labels, attach them to press tools, cameras, threaders, and inspection gear, then let signed-in crew members scan to check items in and out from a phone browser. Each tool keeps its current holder, status, assigned location, and checkout history.
Service plumbers carry shared equipment in multiple vans, and a static list does not show the latest recorded handoff.
Threaders, drain cameras, press tools, and inspection equipment can travel with different crews during the same day.
Copper, fittings, and pipe are consumed on a job; reusable tools need a different record because the team expects them back.
When several plumbing crews run calls at once, it is hard to confirm which crew currently has a shared specialty tool.
When a press tool or camera is not back in its assigned location, the team needs a record of who checked it out and when.
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.
Create a location for each jobsite, service van, shop, or tool crib, and assign every tool to where it belongs.
Checkout history for every tool, plus recorded issue activity. Know who checked it out, when it was returned, and what issues were logged.
Find any tool by name, serial, or QR code. Filter by status, category, or location in one click.
Every tool also has a short code you can type in — plus browse-and-search — when a camera scan isn't practical.
Open OrbitEquip in a compatible phone browser and scan QR labels without installing a native OrbitEquip app.
Record which plumbing crew has a shared press tool and when it returns to the shop.
Update the recorded holder and location when an inspection camera moves between service vans.
Search the equipment list and current status before assigning specialty gear to a call.
Add the reusable equipment your crews share, create van and shop locations, and record each handoff as tools move between calls.
Create records for press tools, drain cameras, threaders, and inspection gear.
Assign tools to service vans, the shop, or other locations where they belong.
Generate a printable label for each tool your plumbing crews share.
A signed-in crew member scans or enters the tool code when equipment leaves or returns.
Use the current status, holder, location, and checkout record to follow up on open equipment.
Yes. Create a record for each reusable tool with its name, category, serial number, location, notes, and QR identity. The same check-in/out workflow can cover press tools, drain cameras, threaders, and inspection equipment.
Yes. Create a location for each service van, truck, shop, or other storage point. When equipment changes hands, a signed-in user records the checkout or return so the latest holder and location are easier to review.
No. OrbitEquip is designed for reusable tools and equipment that are checked out and returned. Fittings, pipe, valves, and other quantity-based materials need a dedicated materials inventory system.
Each tool has a short code that can be entered manually, and the scan hub includes browse-and-search fallback. A user still needs to sign in and have connectivity to record the checkout or return.
Yes. OrbitEquip runs in a phone browser, so crews do not need a native app to scan QR labels. The browser-based workflow requires an internet connection for check-in and check-out.
OrbitEquip plans include unlimited users. The permanent Free plan supports up to 25 tools, and paid plans add more tool capacity plus CSV import.
