Software Geared Toward Loss Prevention

Dynamic Systems Inc., Redmond, Wash., has announced the release of what it calls a low-cost tool manager program based on bar code technology.

DSI’s “Basic Tool Manager” is targeted to contractors who want to reduce the loss of tools and save time tracking down tools for working job sites.

In business since 1981, DSI offers bar code systems to the construction industry, including a tool management system, a maintenance scheduler, inventory control, time and attendance and job costing.

According to DSI, “If it requires one minute checking a tool out or in, and if your staff spends even 20 minutes a day searching for tools, the overhead savings is dramatic.” Loss and theft of tools is a major overhead cost (estimated at over $1 billion a year) for the construction and manufacturing industry, says the company. “Our customers see a typical payback for the Tool Manager within three to four months,” states Alison Falco, president of Dynamic Systems.
