Case Study: Bechtel achieves better tool control and accountability with ToolHound

Bechtel improves tool control across 5 rejected systems with ToolHound

Bechtel, a worldwide engineering and construction organization, faced a significant challenge in managing its massive tool inventory across global projects. Its equipment leasing arm, Bechtel Equipment Operations (BEO), had experimented with several inflexible inventory control systems that failed to meet its specific needs for tracking tools on mobile cribs and at individual job sites. They turned to ToolHound for a solution.

ToolHound implemented its inventory control system, which uses barcode labels and handheld radio frequency scanners to track tools in real-time. This provided Bechtel with unparalleled accountability, giving management a reliable record of tool location and responsibility. The vendor's support was also highlighted as a key benefit. As a result, BEO achieved much better control over its tool inventory and was fully satisfied that ToolHound was the system that finally fit their business.
