ToolWorks September 2025 Updates
Smarter Construction Tool Tracking And Asset Management
Start Tracking NowThe construction industry runs on tools, equipment, and vehicles. Delays often happen not because of a lack of labor or skill, but because a critical piece of equipment breaks down, a tool goes missing, or managers don’t have visibility into what’s happening in the field. That’s why ToolWorks delivers continuous updates, to keep your teams productive, projects on schedule, and assets working harder for your business.
In September 2025, we rolled out several powerful improvements designed to make construction tool tracking faster, smarter, and more reliable. From a brand-new Issue Management module to enhanced purchase orders, vehicle information tracking, and maintenance cost management, September has been all about strengthening accountability and decision-making for field teams and managers. These enhancements are designed to reduce downtime, improve accountability, and give construction businesses greater control over their assets.
Why Continuous Updates Matter for Construction Tool Tracking
Continuous improvements keep ToolWorks evolving with your needs. Each release is designed to solve real-world problems like downtime, procurement bottlenecks, and maintenance overspending—issues that can cost thousands in lost productivity. External studies show that construction equipment downtime costs can severely affect project budgets, which makes continuous updates more critical than ever.
Every construction business depends on reliable tools and equipment. Without proper management, companies face:
- Lost or misplaced tools
- Unexpected downtime from equipment failures
- Budget overruns from poorly tracked costs
- Compliance and safety risks
With ToolWorks, you can overcome these challenges using an all-in-one construction asset management software that combines tool tracking, equipment monitoring, and cost control in one simple platform.
The September 2025 updates take this vision further by giving your team more visibility, accountability, and actionable insights.
New Issue Management: Faster Problem Resolution
In construction, equipment issues can halt productivity. That’s why we’ve introduced a dedicated Issue Management feature.
Instant Field Issue Reporting with Barcode and QR Scans
Workers can scan a barcode or QR code on any tool, attach a photo, set the priority, and submit the issue directly from their mobile device. Reporting takes seconds, not minutes.
Centralized Issues Dashboard with Full Audit Trails
Managers get a real-time dashboard where they can filter, sort, and view all tool and equipment issues. Every issue includes a complete history of actions taken.
Audit trail and accountability
Every issue comes with a full history of who reported it, what actions were taken, and when it was resolved.
Actionable Workflows and Real-Time Notifications
Comments, notifications, and issue-to-maintenance conversion are built in, so your teams never need to duplicate work.
Data Insights: Identify Unreliable Tools and Improve Safety
Issue Reports reveal trends, track resolution times, and highlight unreliable equipment—helping you improve safety and make smarter repair/replace decisions.
This ensures no reported problem goes unnoticed, reducing downtime and improving safety. Over time, the reporting data helps you make smarter decisions about repairs, replacements, and vendor reliability. This isn’t just about fixing tools—it’s about improving operational safety and reducing unexpected project delays.

Enhanced Purchase Orders: Smarter Procurement
Managing procurement is crucial for keeping projects on track and within budget. With our new Purchase Order Management feature, ToolWorks helps construction businesses streamline purchasing.
Add Non-Catalog Tools and Equipment
You can now create purchase orders for tools and assets that aren’t yet in your catalog. This reduces duplicate work and keeps procurement moving smoothly.
Attach Quotes and Supporting Documents for Compliance
Upload vendor quotes, invoices, and supporting documents directly to a purchase order, creating a clear audit trail for compliance and approvals.
Smarter Procurement Workflows for Construction Teams
Construction companies face construction procurement challenges every day. ToolWorks simplifies the process with centralized records and more flexible purchase order options.
Construction procurement teams juggle multiple suppliers, quotes, and compliance requirements. By centralizing documents and enabling non-catalog ordering, ToolWorks reduces paperwork, eliminates duplicate data entry, and creates a single source of truth for purchases. That means faster procurement cycles and better visibility into what’s being ordered and why.
With this update, procurement is no longer a manual process, it’s part of your integrated tool inventory management software.
Vehicle Information: A Complete View of Your Fleet
Many construction companies not only manage tools and equipment but also maintain a fleet of vehicles. ToolWorks now supports Vehicle Information Tracking, giving you complete visibility into your vehicles alongside tools and equipment.
Centralized Vehicle Records (Make, Model, VIN, License)
ToolWorks now lets you store essential details such as make, model, year, license plate, and VIN alongside your tools and equipment.
Track Mileage, Registration, and Insurance
Stay compliant and ensure your fleet is properly maintained by recording registration, insurance, mileage, and operating hours in one place.
Integrate Fleet Data with Tool Inventory Management
For a unified view of all assets, ToolWorks integrates fleet management in construction with tool and equipment tracking—eliminating silos and paperwork.
With vehicle information centralized alongside your tool inventory, you get a unified view of your assets. That helps with scheduling, compliance, and proactive maintenance. No more digging through paper files or separate systems—ToolWorks keeps your fleet data organized and accessible wherever you need it.
This feature turns ToolWorks into more than just a tool tracking app, it’s also a vehicle fleet tracking software for construction.
Maintenance Costs: Track the True Cost of Ownership
Unexpected equipment failures often lead to hidden costs. With our new Maintenance Cost Tracking, ToolWorks ensures every expense is recorded and transparent.
Log Expenses for Parts, Labor, and Services
Managers can now track all maintenance-related expenses, from spare parts to outside services, ensuring no hidden costs go unnoticed.
Repair vs. Replace: Smarter Decision-Making
Knowing when to repair or replace is a constant challenge. By logging costs, you can see when equipment is draining your budget and make informed decisions.
Maintenance Cost Reports for Construction Asset Planning
Generate detailed reports that highlight long-term expense patterns. According to AGC construction economics data, managing maintenance costs is key to improving project margins.
Accurate cost tracking allows you to stop overspending on repairs and know exactly when an asset is no longer cost-effective. This gives managers the power to make data-driven decisions and reduce overspending.
Other Improvements: Faster, Cleaner, Smarter
Alongside the major updates, we rolled out smaller enhancements that make ToolWorks even easier to use.
Enhanced Filters to Narrow Down Results
You can now see exactly what filters are applied, clear them quickly, and switch between Match All and Match Any modes. This makes finding the right tool or record faster.
Richer Display Options
Choose between Table or Card views, customize which columns to display, and save preferences for future use. This is especially helpful for managers who want data presented in specific ways.
Improved Navigation
A more intuitive navigation bar with shortcuts to frequently used actions helps you get work done faster with fewer clicks.
