ALL:  Have a client with large quantities of Tools and Equipment's asking:

Steve:

In your work travels, have you seen a good off-the-shelf commercial product for tracking major tools such as we've done with the equipment database we sent to you?

I'm just wondering if you've seen a different end user (or HDR yourselves) have found an outside software product that does this well.

No big deal if you haven't.  I just thought I would ask.
Any suggestions you can give will be appreciated.  Even confirmation that no, you haven't seen a good off-the-shelf product will be helpful.

Do any of you use an off-the-shelf database for logging and tracking your tools, and as always, the capabilities to input utilities needs, sizes, weights, access zones. Etc.
Would appreciate inputs.  Thanks.
