Cost: $5,000–$20,000+“Where's the Impact?”
30 minutes of four guys digging through the truck bed. Nobody remembers who had it last. Boss calls screaming about lost billable time.
Cost: $200–$500 every timeDead Tool, No Spare
Circular saw got dropped yesterday — nobody logged it. Dies mid-cut today. 2-hour run to Home Depot. Boss docks pay.
Cost: 2+ hours + emergency premiumYour Tool Crib, In Your Pocket

Questions from the Job Site
Do my crew members need to create accounts?
Nope. You create a simple profile for each worker (just a name and 4-digit PIN). They open the web app on their phone, enter the PIN, and start scanning. No email, no password, no app download. Even the greenest apprentice can do it.
What if there's no cell signal on the job site?
ScanCrib works fully offline. Check tools in and out, view your inventory — everything works with zero signal. When you're back in range, data syncs automatically in the background. No “full sync” pauses, no data loss.
How is this different from Sortly?
Three big differences: 1) Your crew scans for free — Sortly counts every user against your license limit (8-person crew = $149/mo on Sortly vs. $19/mo on ScanCrib). 2) Free QR code generation — Sortly charges extra for that. 3) Real offline mode — not “full sync” that freezes your app. See the full comparison →
Will you jack up the price after I upload all my tools?
No. We offer a price-lock guarantee: any price change is announced 90 days in advance, and existing customers keep their current rate for 12 months. Your data is always exportable. No hostage situations.
Can this help with insurance claims?
Yes — that's one of our key features. ScanCrib stores serial numbers, photos, purchase dates, and values for every tool. If something gets stolen, you generate a claim-ready PDF in 60 seconds instead of rebuilding your tool list from memory.
I'm already using an Excel spreadsheet. Can I switch easily?
Absolutely. You can import your existing Excel or CSV file in about 5 minutes. We even offer free professionally-designed Excel templates to help you get organized first — download them here.
