ToolSense

ToolSense makes software for facility management companies that run mixed fleets of equipment. It began as an IoT startup tracking hand-operated power tools on job sites, and its current product covers any machine, robot or vehicle. It reports customers in more than 30 countries.

What ToolSense offers

• Asset register — one record for every machine, robot and vehicle, replacing scattered spreadsheets and brand portals.
• Live IoT data — connects equipment from more than 30 brands and shows location and working status.
• Fault reporting — a QR code on a machine opens a report with a photo, with no app to install.
• Work orders and service — tickets reach technicians and come back as signed reports.
• AI assistants — one guides operatives through fixes, another spots idle machines that could be redeployed.

Who it works with

The platform serves finance, procurement, operations, service, health and safety and management teams inside facility management firms. Its origins lie with contractors, rental companies and equipment makers.
