Frequently Asked Questions About Tool Tracking Software

Find answers to the most important questions about Timly – the digital tool management solution. These FAQs make it easier to get started and use the tool tracking software in your daily work.

In the tool management app, tools and equipment are mainly organized via QR codes, mobile scans, and imports of existing inventory lists. Instead of entering each item manually, every tool receives its own QR label, is scanned with a smartphone or tablet, and is then uniquely stored in the database. Existing inventory—such as Excel lists—can easily be imported and linked to QR codes so that ongoing inventory audits run seamlessly and are fully digital.

With the Timly inventory app and the integrated tool management software, you can centrally record virtually any type of asset and equipment—from physical devices to less tangible resources. This typically includes tools, machines, IT and office equipment, vehicles, furniture, and consumables. You can also map licenses and contracts, location‑based assets such as rooms, storage areas, or outdoor spaces, as well as project‑based objects and rental equipment in a structured way and manage them clearly over the long term.

Yes, Timly's tool inventory management software can be used both on the go and in the office. The inventory and tool management app runs on smartphones and tablets (iOS and Android) for scanning QR codes and working directly on site, and you also have full functionality conveniently available in the desktop browser.

Timly can be used as digital tool management software in many different industries because equipment management is not limited to a specific sector. Common areas of use include construction and skilled trades, manufacturing and production, logistics and transportation, public administration, healthcare, service companies, and offices with extensive IT and office equipment.

Implementing Timly's equipment management software  is usually straightforward and does not require any special IT know‑how on the customer side. Because the equipment management software runs in the cloud—in the browser and as an app—there is no need for your own servers or special hardware; a smartphone or tablet plus a PC is enough.

Our team supports you during setup, data import, and configuration. Depending on the size of the project, we provide structured onboarding and training so that your employees can work with Timly quickly and confidently.

The software is operated in European data centers run by OVHcloud, whose servers are certified according to ISO 27001 and also comply with standards such as ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 for cloud security and data protection. Together with encrypted data transmission, strict access controls, and a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR, Timly offers a high level of protection for your data.
