Readers in every van scan your tools automatically. Your techs don't change how they work. You get a dashboard that actually reflects reality, not what someone forgot to write down.
Every trade company with 3+ vans has this problem. Most just accept it as the cost of doing business. It doesn't have to be.
Tech shows up on site, discovers a missing part, and burns an hour round-tripping to the supply house at retail markup. Billable time gone, job delayed, customer waiting.
Without knowing what's actually out there, your warehouse over-orders "just in case." Techs hoard parts. Capital sits on shelves nobody checks.
That Milwaukee M18 isn't lost, it's on someone else's truck. Or a job site. Or gone. Nobody knows because nobody tracks it.
End of week, your team guesses what materials went to which job. You eat costs you should be invoicing. It adds up fast.

Tool tracking runs in the background. The only thing your guys do is a quick scan when they pull parts for a job.
Each tool gets a rugged, anti-metal RFID tag with a unique QR code. Weatherproof adhesive mount. Takes 30 seconds per tool.
~2 hours for a full vanA small RFID reader goes on the van's ceiling, powered by the vehicle. It scans every tagged tool automatically while the van is running.
Automatic tool trackingOpen the dashboard and see what's on every truck, what's missing, and where it was last seen. Get alerts when something doesn't come back.
Real-time visibilityWe hear this on every call. It's the right concern, and it's exactly why VanTrack works differently.
Tool tracking is fully automatic. The reader on the ceiling handles that. The only time your tech touches the app is a quick scan when they pull parts for a job, so materials get billed correctly.
When they do need the app (to find a tool or check inventory) it's three taps. Designed for the cab of a Sprinter, not a conference room.
Every tag has a scannable QR code. Reader dies? Phone camera works. No internet? Offline mode. There's always a path to the data.
Honest numbers. We include the time your team spends using VanTrack, not just the savings.
