We use this to track gages from the crib to the floor and back. Not only do you know where a gage is but you can tell who is using it. The software is easy to use and the trace report comes in handy when you need to know which jobs a gage was used on. This is easy to use. It also lets you put permission access in to say who can modify setting. The barcode feature really helps. We now track gage usage by actual usage and calibration costs went way down.
