Anyone using an asset tracking system for tools — worth it or overkill?

 Description

So we've had the same drill go "missing" three times this month. Found it eventually, but each time we wasted 20 minutes hunting around. My boss is tired of hearing about it and honestly so am I.

A colleague mentioned switching to a proper asset tracking system with QR tags where you scan in and out. Sounds useful in theory but I'm not sure if it's overkill for a team our size (about 15 people, one warehouse, regular site work).

For those who've made the switch — how long did it actually take to get everyone on board? And is the setup process as painful as it sounds, or does it go smoothly once you get started?

Also curious whether it actually cuts down on losses or whether people just find workarounds and stop scanning after a few weeks.

There are no comments for this issue.
