Heard there's software that can track all my tools and gear across job sites where do I even start looking for the best
I run a small electrical business with three vans and a lot of expensive testers and power tools that keep wandering off. A mate mentioned there's software out there that lets you tag everything and check stuff in and out with your phone, maybe even get reminders when something hasn't been returned. I've never used anything like that before so I'm a bit lost. Is there a go-to option that most small trade businesses use? I'd rather not sign up for some massive corporate system just something straightforward that actually gets used by the crew.

I had the exact same problem with my plumbing crew. We tested a couple of options and the one that actually stuck was a simple asset tracking software setup that worked straight from our phones. Stuck QR tags on every tester and drill, now the lads just scan when they load the van. No sign-in sheets, no spreadsheets, no nagging. The reminders when something's overdue actually stopped the weekly panic call asking who had the Megger. For a small outfit that just needs to know where stuff is without a corporate headache, that kind of phone-first approach was the sweet spot.
