metItem for Contractors
Stop losing tools between trucks and job sites.
Know which truck has the impact driver, who checked out the laser level, and when the generator's due for service. Every tool is checked out to a person, a vehicle, or a site, so you can always see who had it last. Free for 100 items, forever.
Free for 100 items, forever — no credit card, no trial countdown
See it work in 23 seconds
A real run through the app, recorded on a phone and on a computer and edited into one 23-second clip — scanning a box of dryer sheets, checking it out, and the low-stock alert.

Point your phone at a barcode and the item is added, code and all.
Check it out
Hand it to a person or a truck, and the quantity moves right away — free on every plan.
Get the alert
Cross your minimum level and the low-stock notification fires.
Sound familiar?
Three problems metItem is built to fix for contractors.
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
Check every tool out and type where it went, such as a person, a truck or a site. Check it back in and the quantity returns. Every check-out records who did it and when, so you can see who had a tool last.
Scan a barcode with your phone
Scanning uses the phone camera and is free on every plan, and metItem enters a tool's code for you. Printed QR labels start on the Essential plan, and printed barcode labels on Ultra.
Service, calibration & inspection reminders
Put a service or inspection date on a tool using a date field you define yourself. The free plan includes one field for the whole account, and the Essential plan raises it to five. Emailed reminders before the date are on the Ultra plan and above.
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.
