Anyone using an asset tracking system for tools — worth it or overkill?

 Description

So we've had the same drill go "missing" three times this month. Found it eventually, but each time we wasted 20 minutes hunting around. My boss is tired of hearing about it and honestly so am I.

A colleague mentioned switching to a proper asset tracking system with QR tags where you scan in and out. Sounds useful in theory but I'm not sure if it's overkill for a team our size (about 15 people, one warehouse, regular site work).

For those who've made the switch — how long did it actually take to get everyone on board? And is the setup process as painful as it sounds, or does it go smoothly once you get started?

Also curious whether it actually cuts down on losses or whether people just find workarounds and stop scanning after a few weeks.

we rolled out qr check-in/out for a 12-person crew and it cut the “where’s the drill” drama a lot, but only after we made scanning faster than arguing. the setup wasn’t awful, the painful part was tagging everything and deciding who owns the process when people forget. what worked was tying scans to toolboxes at end of day and doing quick weekly audits instead of policing every single move. i keep a few qr sheets in a shared tablet, and after one guy kept opening https://fortune-king-jackpot.com/apps/ on the same device it turned into an unplanned distraction, so we locked the tablet to the tracking app only. we also had someone wasting time on https://color-games.com/apps/ during breaks, which didn’t help buy-in at first. once the crew saw the scan history settle disputes and stop blame games, compliance stayed decent, even with the odd person trying to skip it for “just one job” https://oceankingfishgame.com/apps/
