Take Control with ToolBOSS Software

The software system that drives ToolBOSS is powerful and easy to use.

Because of the unique design of the ToolBOSS, items can be issued and returned for repeated use. This is valuable for inspection equipment and tooling applications.

The software allows issue by multiple criteria (cell, job, user) and access to restricted items, such as those required for a single job, while allowing general-use items (e.g., safety equipment) to be available to everybody.

Controlled access through permissions, passwords, and access devices enables each user a unique “profile” to suit their individual requirements. A supplier can restock the machines, but an operator can only withdraw and return items.

ToolBOSS controls items outside the unit by issuing a key or items directly. Loose items, such as screws and washers, can be issued by weight using built-in electronic scales. Batch or individual traceable items, such as inspection equipment or aircraft spares, can be managed. A coded, non-editable audit trail provides evidence of every transaction. Search routines, and the ability to display images of both items and the users, are also part of the design.

Once a report has been defined, it can be accessed anywhere on the network or sent via email. With the networking and hardware built into ToolBOSS as standard, users on the network can access ToolBOSS to reconfigure, run reports, and collect ordering information. Full EDI/electronic capability is included for analysis of information and purchasing. Multiple independent suppliers can access only their information.

Multiple ToolBOSS units can be networked together and provide information about each unit’s contents.
