Tool Assignment & Tracking System
We would like to request the addition of a dedicated tool-tracking feature within Workiz to help us manage equipment assigned to our technicians and service vehicles more effectively. Currently, we are using the Inventory module as a workaround to track company tools. While it allows us to record some information, it is not designed for this purpose, and it limits our ability to manage tool assignments and movement accurately. Requested Enhancement: A Dedicated Tool Management Feature We are requesting a feature that allows us to: Assign tools to individual trucks or technicians Each tool would have its own record with details such as serial number, condition, date assigned, and responsible technician. Track tool transfers and temporary loans Ability to record when a tool is borrowed by another technician or truck. Track dates borrowed, expected return dates, and confirmation of return. Maintain a complete tool history Visibility into where a tool has been, who has used it, and any related notes (repairs, replacements, calibration, etc.). Improve accountability and reduce loss A structured tool-tracking system helps ensure technicians know what they are responsible for and reduces confusion when tools move between trucks. Why This Feature Matters Using Inventory to track tools is not an ideal or accurate method for our workflow. A dedicated tool-tracking module would improve accountability, reduce loss or misplacement, and give us stronger operational visibility. Many field-service businesses have similar needs, and this feature would be a significant value-add for companies managing equipment across multiple trucks and technicians. We appreciate your consideration and would be happy to provide additional examples or discuss specific use cases that would help in the development of this feature.
