		Tool Inventory Tracking Simplifies Tool Theft Reports

		It's an unfortunate fact that the words "construction site" and "theft" go hand-in-hand. Reducing construction tool theft is one way in which ToolHound tool and equipment management systems can benefit almost every construction business. At ToolHound, we provide construction companies and worksites with tool tracking solutions that utilize barcode and radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology. Each valuable tool or piece of equipment has a barcode label or RFID tag attached. Employees or jobs are also identified using a bar code or other ID. When a tool is required, the employee or job ID is scanned followed by the tools being issued. By tracking who has what tools, ToolHound makes employees accountable and reduces theft. Minimizing tool loss can significantly decrease overall expenses for any construction firm of any size... Click here to see full blog.

		Common Misconceptions About Tool Tracking Systems You know that the outdated system being used to maintain your company's equipment inventory needs to be replaced but you haven't done anything about it because you think a new system would require too much time and money to set up. Sound familiar? Here are some of the most common misconceptions that might be holding you back... Misconception #1 : I have more flexibility if I use paper or spreadsheets because a digital inventory system can only be accessed when I'm in the main office. Misconception #2 : In order to track tools in oil and gas, construction or mining, we need to use brass tags because nothing else holds up in harsh, dirty environments. Misconception #3 : It t akes too long to see a return on investment. Visit our blog to see these misconceptions debunked!						ToolHound Tech Tip - How to Access the Tab Key on MC 9100/9200 Handheld Computers The tab key is useful for moving to the next input field on the screen. Unfortunately, for those of you using the MC 9100/9200 series handheld devices from Zebra, you may have noticed there is no tab key on the keyboard. You could access the tab key by opening up the on screen keyboard but this is a bit cumbersome.
