Introducing ONE-KEY™, the first digital platform for tools and equipment. Combining a free-to-use inventory program with the industry’s smartest tools, ONE-KEY™ provides a new level of control and access to information that will revolutionize the way work gets done. Get started today to streamline your productivity. A CENTRAL PLACE TO KEEP ALL YOUR TOOLS Keep the important information right at your fingertips. Snap receipts, log purchase info, set up service reminders, and assign tools out to your employees. BUILT AROUND YOU Manage your equipment down to the project level. 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. Any ONE-KEY™ app will automatically keep records of the last time it was within 100ft of your ONE-KEY™ compatible tools, allowing you to pinpoint missing items quickly. 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? Set up your complementary guest login to share with your team, allowing you to set permissions on who can change what. Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
