In a lot of operations, equipment isn’t static—it evolves. Parts wear out, components are swapped, and what started as a standard tool becomes a custom assembly over time. This is especially true in maintenance environments, where tools are regularly broken down, rebuilt, or reconfigured to meet the task at hand.

The challenge? Most inventory systems aren’t built to handle that. They track parts or assets—but not tools as assembled systems.

This is where tooling often falls through the cracks:

A torque tool rebuilt with new internals might still be “in stock,” but its performance and cost profile have changed.

Maintenance swaps aren’t always reflected in system records.

Costing doesn’t always capture the full picture of what's in the field.

With Equi-Track, we’ve focused on bridging that gap—tracking not just individual components, but how they're assembled, used, and maintained over time. It brings a system-level view to tooling, helping teams make smarter decisions around lifecycle, cost, and readiness.

If you’re managing tools that change as much as the work does, it’s worth thinking about how your system sees them.
