🎯 Why Build a Tool Management System?
The core motivation is to move away from unreliable manual systems (like paper sign-out sheets). Key problems these projects solve include:
Asset Visibility & Security: Knowing which tools are available, who has borrowed them, and preventing theft or loss.
Operational Efficiency: Reducing the time wasted searching for tools and streamlining the check-in/check-out process.
Data-Driven Decisions: Using collected data (e.g., usage frequency, maintenance history) to improve purchasing and maintenance planning.
