Know Where Every Tool Is
Track any tool in real-time
Why Construction Tool Tracking Software Matters
Tool theft costs the construction industry over $1 billion annually in the US alone. Beyond theft, the average contractor loses 15-20 minutes per worker per day searching for misplaced tools—that's over $5,000/year per worker in lost productivity.
AirPinpoint's construction tool tracking software solves both problems. Attach a small Bluetooth tracker to any power tool, hand tool, or piece of equipment. Our app shows every tool's location across all your job sites in one dashboard—no monthly cellular fees, no complex wiring, no GPS subscriptions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our tool tracking solutions.
What is the best construction tool tracking software?
AirPinpoint is the most cost-effective construction tool tracking software available. It uses Apple AirTags and the Find My network (2+ billion devices) to track tools globally—no monthly cellular fees. Unlike brand-locked solutions like Milwaukee ONE-KEY or DeWalt Tool Connect, AirPinpoint works with any brand of tool. Features include geofence alerts, location history, team access, and a REST API.
How does construction tool tracking work with AirTags?
You attach a small AirTag ($29) to each tool. The AirTag broadcasts a Bluetooth signal that's picked up by any nearby Apple device (iPhone, iPad, Mac). That device anonymously relays the tool's location to Apple's servers. AirPinpoint then pulls this location data into a business dashboard where you can see all your tools across every job site, set geofence alerts, view location history, and manage your entire inventory.
How much does a construction tool tracking app cost?
AirPinpoint plans start at $11.99 per tag per month, with volume discounts for larger deployments. Each AirTag costs $29 one-time (no recurring hardware lease). There are no contracts, no setup fees, and no cellular subscriptions. Compare this to GPS-based tool trackers that charge $25-45/month per device plus $100-400 in hardware costs.
Can I track tools across multiple construction job sites?
Yes. AirPinpoint shows all your tracked tools on a single map dashboard, regardless of which job site they're at. You can create geofence boundaries around each job site and get automatic alerts when tools move between sites or leave a site after hours. Team members can access the dashboard with role-based permissions.
How long do AirTag batteries last on construction tools?
AirTag batteries (standard CR2032) last 8-18 months depending on environmental conditions. The AirTag 2 lasts up to 2 years. Replacement batteries cost about $0.50 each and take 10 seconds to swap. AirPinpoint's dashboard shows battery status across your whole fleet so you can replace batteries before losing tracking coverage.
Is tool tracking accurate enough for construction sites?
AirTag-based tracking provides location accuracy of 10-30 meters outdoors, which is sufficient to identify which job site or area a tool is at. In dense urban areas with many Apple devices nearby, accuracy improves. For tool crib management, the system reliably shows whether a tool has left the building or is still on-site.
Can I get alerts when tools leave a job site?
Yes. AirPinpoint's geofencing feature lets you draw virtual boundaries around any job site, warehouse, or tool crib. You'll receive instant email and webhook notifications when any tracked tool crosses the boundary. This is the most effective way to prevent tool theft from construction sites.
