Digital device file per machine

Every piece of construction equipment and every tool is assigned a complete digital profile: serial number, proof of purchase, operating hours, all inspection reports, and a complete repair history. All of this can be exported—for BG Bau inspections and site manager audits.

Automatically track UVV and DGUV inspection dates

Lifting and load-handling equipment, power tools, and construction machinery are subject to mandatory inspections. Inventory ONE automatically calculates due dates and sends timely email reminders to the responsible equipment operator or site manager.

Track maintenance based on operating hours

For excavators, wheel loaders, and other machines with hourly service intervals, enter the manufacturer's recommended interval. Inventory ONE will remind you when the next service is due—before engine failure brings the construction site to a standstill.

Document repair costs and downtime

Machine downtime: Set the status, assign a repair shop, and record downtime and repair costs. The complete maintenance history remains on the machine—serving as the basis for cost-benefit analyses and replacement investments.

THE device management system for your business

Click on a topic to find out more.

With Inventory ONE, you can see at any time where which devices are located, who is currently using what, who has reserved what and when, or whether maintenance or inspection dates are due for certain devices. You can also view your stock at all times.

Inventory ONE also gives you a very good overview of your consumables, such as masking film, adhesive tape, nails, etc., at all times. When the specified quantity of a material is reached, you are automatically reminded of what needs to be reordered via the application and by e-mail.

To ensure that your appliances are always in good working order, appointments can be created so that you don't miss any maintenance or prescribed checks. You will be automatically reminded of the appointment in the app and by email if you wish.

With Inventory ONE, every authorized person has access to information about the devices. In addition to the overview, reservations and appointments, you can also upload information (such as user manuals) for a device, which can be accessed anytime and anywhere.

Inventory ONE can process scanned QR codes. Although these are not absolutely necessary, they save you a lot of time if you want to enter new devices or retrieve data on existing inventory. Inventory ONE offers QR codes that are ideal for this at a reasonable price (More info). But Inventory ONE can also process the existing barcodes on your devices.

Assignments in Inventory ONE are very flexible. Devices can be assigned not only to colleagues and employees, but also to external persons, projects, locations and rooms. You can also flexibly set the access rights in Inventory ONE. Employees can independently pass on and exchange equipment among themselves and document this in a verifiable manner. For example, if you assign a device to an employee, this action is actively confirmed by the employee concerned. The same happens in reverse when the equipment is returned.

When equipment is issued or loaned out, you can quickly find each individual piece of equipment using our detailed search function. You can also specify whether employees can search the entire equipment or only for individual devices assigned to them.

To organize your operating resources in the best possible way, you need the option of reserving individual tools and machines directly in the system. This is exactly what Inventory ONE makes very easy to do. This practical function will help you to plan the use and availability of operating resources well. This avoids hassle and no one will be unpleasantly surprised if, for example, a piece of equipment that is urgently needed is not available.

If certain devices cause problems or are damaged, employees can record this directly in the app. In their overview, those responsible can always see whether a new problem has been reported and can therefore react in good time. This prevents the problem from being remembered until someone already needs the device.

With Inventory ONE, you can see the "life cycle" of all devices. How long has it been in your company, who has used it and for how long, and what was its overall utilization? When was it broken, when was it repaired and when was it serviced? This information is not only helpful as proof, but also when planning the purchase of new equipment. Our software makes the complete documentation of your equipment very easy.

For the initial equipment of new employees or for recurring projects, Inventory ONE supports you in issuing the required equipment. In this case, lists can be defined which equipment is issued as standard. This saves you a lot of time with recurring tasks.

Have you already recorded your devices in a large Excel list or have you been using other device management software? In this case, we will be happy to help you move to Inventory ONE. With our data import, the switch is usually straightforward. And if the existing data is a little more complex, we will be happy to help you with the import.

Inventory ONE was developed to make day-to-day work in the construction industry much easier. It may make sense to integrate the application into your IT environment. If you need interfaces for this, please contact us.

Inventory ONE is currently available in German, English, French and Italian. Other languages will follow. If you urgently need another language, please let us know. Our experts will try to help as quickly as possible.

From the field.

Case Study: Construction Company with an Expired Inspection Log for Chain Hoists

A construction company in Bavaria used chain hoists and lifting slings at several job sites. During an inspection by the BG Bau, it was discovered that the inspection logs for three chain hoists had not been updated for over 24 months—the legally required inspections had expired. After implementing Inventory ONE, every lifting device was digitally recorded and assigned an inspection interval. Due dates appear 30 days in advance on the dashboard, and inspection reports are stored as PDFs directly in the device profile. The most recent BG Bau inspection was completed without any issues.

Our Customers are Enthusiastic and you will be too.
