Sound familiar?
Three problems we hear from every contractors team we talk to. metItem is built specifically to fix them.
Which truck has the impact driver?
Tools are scattered across vans, trucks, and three job sites. Nobody knows where anything is until 6 AM when the crew needs it and it's not there.
That $800 laser level never came back
A tool gets loaned to a sub or a crew member and quietly disappears. By the time you notice, it's three jobs later and nobody remembers who had it.
Is the generator overdue for service?
Equipment needs maintenance, calibration, and inspection dates tracked — but they live on a sticky note in the shop, if they're written down at all.
Built for the way contractors actually work
No bloat. No 40-tab settings panel. Just the features that turn tracking into a habit instead of a chore.
Check tools out to crews, trucks, or job sites
Assign every tool to a person, vehicle, or project. Check-out/check-in means you always know who had it last, and late returns surface in a dashboard so nothing walks off for good.
Barcode + QR labels that survive the job site
Slap a label on the case, scan it with your phone. Adding a new tool takes seconds, not minutes of typing — and the labels are rugged enough for the truck bed.
Service, calibration & inspection reminders
Set maintenance or inspection dates on any piece of equipment. metItem emails you before they're due — stay compliant, pass inspections, and avoid downtime from a tool that died mid-job.
Job-site materials & consumables
Track fittings, fasteners, PPE, and supplies with low-stock alerts, so you reorder before the crew runs out and someone has to drive to the supply house mid-shift.
What teams like yours say
“We were writing off a few thousand dollars in tools every year — drills, bits, meters. Now every tool's labeled and checked out to a truck. Last quarter the whole company lost one set of drill bits.”
“Checking tools out to crew members changed how we close out a day. If a tool doesn't get scanned back in, the foreman knows before the crew clocks out — not three weeks later.”
“The service-date reminders alone pay for it. Our gauges and recovery machines stay calibrated, and we stopped getting dinged on the occasional inspection.”
