Align knows that you must get users to adopt a system for it to provide value. Our team supports every customer with implementation and training to ensure the system gets set up correctly and users know exactly how to start tracking assets on day one.

Align Technologies(formerly ToolWatch) started as a tool-tracking system 30 years ago. Since then, we expanded upon the core asset tracking use case to broadly address construction operations management. This means not only tracking tools but all types of construction assets – tools, heavy equipment, materials, and consumables.

We moved beyond tracking to include many ways to manage assets, such as requests, transfers and returns, job cost & billing, purchasing and receiving, equipment maintenance and scheduling, workforce management, safety management, and more. The result is a comprehensive solution that allows construction companies to streamline operations by providing enterprise-wide visibility, controls, and reporting of assets of all types.
