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.

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.
