ToolWatch by AlignOps

Pros: Ease of Use and it is always easy to translate this to other users in training.

Cons: Report Design needs the ability to have a bit more layers in filtering to make this an excellent tool.

Pros: Lots of communications sent out about things happening. I use it for tool inventories and tracking. It works perfectly.

Cons: There is nothing I can pin point that I would consider a con.

Pros: I like the functionality of Tool Watch and ease of use.

Cons: What I dislike the most is the new cloud version. It is not as fast.

Pros: The ease of tracking and rental adjustments

Cons: There are some feature I would like to be able to correct myself but I have to contact support to get them done.

Pros: It took us to the next level with regards to consumable inventory management and accuracy. It also allows us to schedule and track maintenance on our equipment which eliminated the need for extra software.

Cons: From an accounting perspective, the costing methods that are used currently do not generate an accurate material inventory value. I have been told an update is coming to include that feature.

Pros: I like how easy it is to keep track of tools across multiple jobs, warehouses, and corporate divisions. The customer support is receptive and responsive.

Cons: Features can be poorly tested and the UI could use a lot of work.

Pros: The implementation of the program was alot of work but we were able to tailor the program to fit our needs.

Cons: Learning the process of movements within Tool Watch

Pros: All the features in the system like locations of tools and being able to send out reports

Cons: It seems the cost is high compared to others systems

Pros: the aspect of being able to track tool sufficiently and in a timely manure

Cons: I don't like that there isn't more options when entering tools. the ease to do so is very time consuming

Pros: The integration with Sage 300 CRE makes the maintenance easy.

Cons: There are a few quirks regarding employee set up and emails that can cause small issues.

Pros: LOVE the reporting functions, and the ease at which one can move assets around.

Cons: Inability to split one assest amongst several jobs at the same time; have to update each individual rate sheet --> perhaps a check-box list of all your rate sheets available, and you can check the ones that must be updated.

Pros: It's great because with this platform, I can easily track the location and usage of each item, which has allowed me to reduce waste and unnecessary costs.

Cons: I may have experienced slight difficulties configuring certain features and customizing reports to my specific needs.

Pros: My favorite thing about ToolWatch is the app and the convenience of using it in the field,

Cons: I do not like the different tabs. I would like if there was an ADMIN tab that could do things in Back Office, Warehouse, and Field.

Pros: The ToolWatch interface is user-friendly. There is a lot of training material that has helped me quickly learn the back office and warehouse inventory management practices. The support from ToolWatch's team is unmatched from other programs we've tested.

Cons: The only aspect I've struggled with so far is the billing browser and understanding the dates involved.

Pros: Ease finding and locating items per job site.

Cons: At times system freezes and take a while to come back on line for tracking or adding items.

Pros: ToolWatch is a super easy product to use, very user friendly.I have also taken many on-line training sessions and thoroughly enjoyed and found them useful.The customer service is superb.

Cons: The least "user-friendly" part of ToolWatch would probably be importing a new rate sheet however customer service is more the eager to help you through the process.

Pros: The ease of inventory management for our equipment in the warehouse off site.

Cons: So far I haven't experienced any cons, everything has been great.

Pros: Having pictures for tools is helpful. Its easy to find tools using the model search

Cons: There are some billing features that do not work for us.

Pros: Toolwatch has been very helpful in finding tools, logging movement, and needs for tools/equipment across job site locations and internally for our carpenters.

Cons: Functionality has some long processes especially with set up, but once all set up it's easy to maintain and use.

Pros: Being on the finance side of the equation, I love the ability to assign costs to tools, equipment, materials and consumables and then job cost them to our projects. Next, is the general ability to track tools from inventory sites to job sites

Cons: Over the years we have had a few minor issues with components in the Service Area and Transfers in regards to Units of Measure that took some time to "correct", but overall there is no "least"! One "negative" has been the change in billing in association with the Cloud, as costs have crept upwards.

Pros: The ease of use and the training oppotunities.

Cons: That the tiers of use are so drastically different in price.

Pros: custom fields are easy to use - mobile function is great on the Iphone

Cons: more functions in the mobile application like further filter search reports and secondary - tertiary filters to drill down like the desktop version
