Tool management is that quiet cost that eats into your margin — hammer drills that go missing, duplicate nail guns, and half an hour of searching every morning. With tools and equipment registered in ByggExp, you always know who has what and where it is.
What tool management means in ByggExp
Tool management means keeping a digital register of your company's tools and equipment — every machine with a name, location and the person responsible. In ByggExp you see the inventory in the web admin, and your crew checks it in the app. Instead of guesswork, you get an up-to-date picture of where the hammer drill, the laser and the site heater actually are.
How to do it in the web admin
- Open the tool register and add a tool: name, category, optional serial number and a photo.
- Set where it belongs – storage, service van or a specific project.
- Link the tool to the person or place that currently has it.
- When a machine is moved, update its location so the register always stays accurate.
How to do it in the app
- The crew opens the app on site and sees which tools are available and who is responsible.
- Anyone with access sees the current location and person responsible right on their phone.
Benefits
- No more duplicate purchases: you can see the machine already exists before ordering another.
- Fewer lost items: every tool has a person responsible and a location.
- Faster mornings: no one hunts for the laser when everyone can see where it is.
- Better grip on value: your entire inventory in one place, with serial numbers and photos.
Tips
Photograph every tool as you register it — a picture plus the serial number is worth its weight in gold if something goes missing or needs to be reported to insurance.
Set a simple rule: whoever takes a machine updates its location in the app. The register is only worth something if it's kept alive.
Start with the expensive machines. It's the disappearing laser and hammer drill that cost you, not the cheap hand tools.
Frequently asked questions
Can the crew see the register on their phones?

Can I see where a tool is right now?
Every tool is linked to a location or a person, so you see its current placement directly in the web admin as long as the register is kept up to date.
Add your most expensive machines to the tool register today — it takes a few minutes and saves both searching and unnecessary purchases down the line.
