Construction inventory software Know which site has the rotary hammer before you drive over.
Hoardo is free construction inventory software for the tools, equipment and materials a builder moves between job sites, the yard and the trucks. Every site, container and truck is a room, so one search shows where a tool is, who has it and what's left on the fixings rack. It runs in the browser on any phone or computer, so there's nothing to install.

Construction inventory management in three steps
Every site, yard and truck is a room
Make a room for each job site, the container on it, the yard and shop, and each truck. In each, add a numbered box for every gang box, rack, tote, crib and pallet, and write the number on the real one.
Add tools, equipment and materials
Type a tool or a material and how many, say what you're loading out loud, or take a photo of a gang box and check what Hoardo lists. Or bring in the tool list you already keep in a spreadsheet.
Label, check out and count
Print QR labels for boxes and barcode tags for tools. Check shared tools out to a crew with a back-by day, count a container against what Hoardo expects, and get an email when a material runs low.
Construction inventory software built around your sites
Each job site is a room with its own gang boxes and pallets, the container on site is another, and so are the yard and every truck. Tools and materials go in the box they're in, each with how many there are. Open a gang box on your phone and you see what should be in it before the crew locks up for the night.
When a site wraps up, move what's left back to the yard's crib in a few taps, and the site's room is a record of what was there.
Construction equipment tracking: who has the generator
Put the tools and equipment that move between sites on an asset list: the rotary hammer, the generator, the concrete saw, the plate compactor. Check one out to a foreman with a back-by day and a reminder, and scan its tag to check it back in. Late ones turn red, so you know who to call before the next pour.
Each piece keeps its asset tag, serial number, model and status (in use, in storage, in repair), and its History shows every check-out, with who did it and when.
Construction material tracking with a stocktake
Make a stocktake list for the site container and count it at the end of the week. Each material shows what Hoardo expects next to what you count: tap + or scan as you go. A match turns green, short turns orange, too many turns red, and the line at the top keeps the score. Two people can count the same rack at once.
When the count is done, “Use counted quantities” writes the numbers back, and History keeps what changed.
Low-stock emails for fixings, blades and PPE
Tap “Notify me?” beside a material's quantity and set the level that's too few: five boxes of anchors, two diamond blades, ten pairs of gloves. When the count gets there, Hoardo emails whoever set it, and the count turns red in the box's list.
Put what's low on a to-do list for the next run to the supplier, then tick it off as it goes back on the rack. Hoardo doesn't order anything for you.
Construction tool tracking with labels you scan
Print asset tags with a barcode for your tools and QR labels for gang boxes, racks and totes, on A4 or US Letter sticker sheets or a label printer. Scan a tag with your phone and that tool opens, with where it should be and who had it last.
The scanner reads the barcodes on materials' packaging too, and Bluetooth and USB scanners that type like a keyboard work as well.
Service dates that remind you
Give generators, saws, compactors and lasers a Next service date. Tap “Notify me?” beside it and pick when, from the day itself to 30 days before or after, and Hoardo sends an email and a notification in the app to whoever set it.
Construction asset tracking for the whole crew
Share each site's rooms with the foreman and crew working there, and the yard with everyone. Pick what each person can do: edit, or only view. People sign in with an email code, Google or Microsoft, and History shows who changed what, with a way to restore it.
Bring the tool list you already have
Drop your spreadsheet into Hoardo's chat: an Excel or CSV file, or a photo of the list pinned up in the container. Hoardo plans the rooms from your sites and the boxes from your gang boxes and racks, turns a minimum column into low-stock alerts and other columns into properties, and you check the plan before anything is added.

What this construction inventory software is not
Hoardo keeps track of tools, equipment and materials: what you have, where it is and who has it. It isn't construction project management software:
- No project schedules, Gantt charts, daily logs, RFIs or submittals.
- No job costing, quotes, invoices or materials billed to a job.
- No purchase orders and no automatic reorders: a low-stock email is where it stops.
- No automatic transfers between sites: you change both counts, or move the item.
- No GPS or telematics: it knows where a tool is because someone put it there or scanned it.
Free for every site and every crew
Hoardo is 100% free, with no paid plan: every feature, every site, every tool and everyone on your crew. A new job or a new hire never changes the price.
Export any site, all of them or a list as a CSV whenever you want your numbers somewhere else.
Questions about construction inventory
What is construction inventory management?
Keeping track of the tools, equipment and materials a builder owns: how many there are, which site, truck or yard they're at, and who has them. Hoardo does that with a room for each site, container, yard and truck and a numbered box for each gang box, rack and pallet.
Is there free construction inventory software?
Yes. Hoardo is free with every feature included: sites and boxes, tool check-outs, material counts, low-stock emails, labels, scanning and your whole crew. There's no paid plan.
How do I track construction equipment across job sites?
Give each piece an asset tag and put it on an asset list. Check it out to whoever takes it to site with a back-by day, and scan the tag when it comes back. Late ones turn red, and History shows who had it before.
Can I track materials as well as tools?
Yes. Materials, fixings and PPE are items with a quantity in the box they're in. Count them with a stocktake list and set low-stock alerts on the ones you can't run out of. Hoardo doesn't order them for you.
Is Hoardo construction project tracking software?
No. It doesn't do schedules, RFIs, daily logs, job costing or invoices. It tracks the things: tools, equipment and materials, where they are and who has them, next to the project software you already use.
Can the crew scan tools with their phones?
Yes. The phone's camera reads Hoardo's QR labels, barcode asset tags and the barcodes on packaging. Keyboard-style barcode scanners work too. See the tool tracking app guide for setting up a van and its cases.
Does it track tools by GPS?
No. Hoardo knows where a tool is because someone put it in a box or checked it out. There are no GPS or Bluetooth trackers.
