TOOL TRACKING CAN BE EXPENSIVE
On average, the construction industry loses an estimated $400 million annually due to tool theft. This does not include the losses due to lost time, replacement fees and other project disruptions. [1]
One insurance company estimates that the average price of a stolen piece of equipment is $46,000. [2]
On average, it takes between 45 to 90 minutes for workers to locate missing tools, halting your projects.
In 2016, only 21% of known stolen tools were found. This number does not include any theft that went unnoticed. [1]
