OrbitEquip

What OrbitEquip is

OrbitEquip is a web service for tracking reusable tools that have individual records as they move between people and configured locations. Crews can scan QR labels from a phone browser to check tools out and back in. Each tool record shows its status, assigned location, current holder, and checkout history. Users can set optional return due dates, see which tools are overdue, and send checkout reminder emails.

For maintenance, users can report issues with photos, schedule one-time work, and manage recurring preventive maintenance. Every plan includes unlimited users with owner, admin, and worker roles. OrbitEquip is aimed at field crews sharing tools across locations, including electricians, construction teams, HVAC teams, and plumbers. The Free plan costs nothing and covers up to 25 tools, QR check-in/check-out, and CSV import for up to 25 tools. Starter costs $15 a month for up to 500 tools and adds CSV export, physical inventory audits, and recurring maintenance schedules. Pro costs $35 a month for up to 2,500 tools, while Business costs $70 a month for up to 10,000 tools. Annual billing saves roughly two months compared with monthly billing. OrbitEquip says it uses logical organization data isolation, encryption in transit, and access controls. Support is available by email, with typical replies within one business day.
