Everyday Tools — A Real Headache Without Method

This is about everything that isn’t “critical”, radioactive, or certified — but is used every day, on every site, by every team.

Pumps, mobile carts, rolling scaffolds, toolboxes, extension cords, ladders, drills…
And yet: losses, forgotten items, duplicates, breakdowns, untracked loans — everyone knows the pain.

Common field issues

• Tools impossible to locate: no one knows who took them or where they are
• Vague or non-existent assignments: tools lent informally, no traceability
• Damaged equipment still in circulation, never reported
• Buffer stock impossible to manage: no one knows what’s left
• No reliable inventory for audits, team rotations, or project close-out

How BROLZ helps

BROLZ offers an ultra-simple system to track everything that gets used, borrowed, moved — or forgotten.

Key features:

• Quick creation of records for each tool or tool group
• Assignment to a person, zone, cart, or worksite
• Full movement history: who had it, when, for how long
• Two-click field reporting (with photo and comments)
• Real-time status: good, broken, missing, needs check
• Instant visibility via scan (QR/NFC) or dashboard
• Management of floating or buffer stocks by zone

What changes with BROLZ

• Less loss, less confusion, less wasted search time
• Better turnover of available tools
• Tools assigned, tracked, and properly returned
• Reliable inventory for audits without paperwork overload
• Realistic, up-to-date visibility — without micromanagement

A small tool, poorly tracked, can still create big headaches.
