About TCS

Tracking tools in and out of the crib

TCS, the Tool Control System, is software for managing tools that are checked in and out of a tool crib every day. The record shows each tool's location at all times: in the crib, under repair, checked out, or awaiting delivery from a supplier. The company says this lets a site always know where its tools are.

Stock, costs and tool kits

For each tool the system holds stock levels, costs and location, and it also handles tool kits. The company says it customizes its products and builds custom interfaces with systems such as SAP, Oracle and JD Edwards. TCS sits in a range of three products that also includes the maintenance system AMMS and the facilities system iFAMS.
