Pull reports on recent spend, run inventory audits, even see the cradle-to-grave story of any item in your inventory. TRACK TOOLS ANYWHERE Keep a virtual eye on your things when you can’t.

PREVENT THEFT & TAMPERING Protect your ONE-KEY™ compatible tool by locking it out whenever it’s not in use. If your tool is lost or stolen, render it useless by sending a remote shut-down command to the tool for the next time it comes within range of any open ONE-KEY™ app. MANAGE THE TEAM Need to set some boundaries for the guys in the field?
