Thrasher Uses Checkmate To Improve Operations:

Thrasher Basement Systems is a 38-year-old contracting company that specializes in the

repair and remodeling of basements and foundations. Along with the increase in business came some of the typical growing pains, including the challenge of keeping track of their tools and equipment as they were issued to employees and jobs.

How Thrasher Basement Benefited:

Dan Thrasher stated that they have reduced their tool expense by at least 25% since

Installing Checkmate Toolroom. Their job foremen are able to schedule specialty tools

so that they are available for projects, eliminating the duplicate purchase of these

expensive tools. Thrasher’s management especially likes the reports that identify how

much each employee is spending on tools.  The system has significantly reduced employee waste and theft.

Checkmate Toolroom is designed to keep track of tools, equipment and consumables -

who has them, when they were checked out and when they are due back. A barcode is

scanned to identify the employee or job and another is scanned to identify the

equipment. The use of barcode for transactions has proven to be 60% faster than

manual check-out and virtually 100% accurate.

Release of Remote Site Tool Kit:
DSI has announced the launch of “Remote Job Site Tool Kit”, targeted for contractors who want to track who has their tools at each job site.  “I’m impressed with the simplicity and adaptability of your tool management system.  It’s affordable for all contractors, even those with just a few employees,” stated Bill Allen, Process Consultant to the construction industry.

Cost Justification:

If it requires one minute checking a tool out or in, and if your staff spends even 20 minutes a day searching for tools, the overhead savings is dramatic.  “Loss and theft of tools is a major overhead cost (estimated at over $1 billion a year) for the construction and manufacturing industry.  Our customers see a typical payback for the Tool Manager within 3-4 months,” states Alison Falco, President of Dynamic Systems.

Integrate Barcode Software Applications for Restoration

The ID Badge (http://www.a-barcode.com/solutions/construction-employee-card-printing) area discusses how much theft occurs from job sites that are not monitored by using employee badges. Unauthorized people enter job sites during the day and walk off with equipment and tools as though they employees.

Tool & Equipment Tracking Software (http://www.a-barcode.com/solutions/construction-tool-mgt)  discusses Herzog Construction and their solution for managing their tools. Herzog had problems with missing tools and now barcodes items as small as tape measures. They Saved $20,000/month.

Time & Attendance Software points out the problem of keeping track of employees’ hours accurately and the incidence of employee turnover. The Accounting department now has accurate employee payroll data.

Inventory Management is one of the critical components that can affect a contractor’s bottom line. Stockroom can track materials leaving the warehouse to assure that they are used on the job and any items left over are returned.  

“These software solutions share a common database that is integrated so contractors can start with one and as their needs change add additional programs”, stated Bill Allen, Process Control Specialist.

“We are pleased with the development and upgrade of The CheckMate Software. The integrated solutions show the depth of The Checkmate Barcode Software”, stated Alison Falco, President.
