$1 Billion a Year in Tool Theft. Your Site Is Not the Exception.
Construction tool theft costs the industry over $1 billion a year. The average jobsite loses $23,000 annually. Your site is not the exception — you just do not have the data to see it yet. POD finds the pattern and closes the gap before the next tool walks off.
Same Site. Two Security Realities.
Unmonitored gates on east and north perimeter — open after 5pm
Tool storage area unlocked, no count check at end of shift
$23,000 per year lost — replacement orders mixed into normal supply runs
No data on when or where tools go missing — only that they do
ProximityRiskScore identifies Gate 3 as the primary loss vector
Storage area monitoring activated — end-of-shift tool count via voice check-in
ToolShrinkage tracks loss by zone, crew, and time — pattern identified in 2 weeks
Replacement spend drops 80% when the access gap is closed
Where Tools Go Missing — And What It Is Actually Costing You
ToolShrinkage and ProximityRiskScore — the KPI pair that turns a mystery into a mapped, addressable security gap.
Tool Shrinkage
PODThe Perimeter Your Tools Disappear Through
Before POD: open gates, unmonitored storage, tools vanishing through the gaps. After POD: gates secured, storage locked, losses zero.
Close the Gaps Tools Walk Through
Pattern Detection by Zone
Not just "tools are missing" — POD identifies the specific time window, crew shift, and site zone where losses concentrate. Gate 3 after 5pm is actionable. "Tools disappear" is not.
ProximityRiskScore
A composite score of site perimeter gaps: unmonitored access points, after-hours activity density, and unsecured storage exposure. The score tells you which gaps to close first.
After-Hours Activity Alerts
When tool movement is detected outside normal shift hours near unmonitored exits, POD fires a push alert — before the missing tool becomes a replacement order.
End-of-Shift Voice Check-In
Superintendents complete a 60-second tool count during their voice report. POD flags discrepancies the same day — not three weeks later at reorder time.
Insurance Documentation
POD maintains a record of tool inventory, shrinkage events, time stamps, and site zone data — the evidentiary trail your insurer needs for a paid claim.
Annual Cost Projection
At current loss rate, your annualized tool theft cost is $X. POD shows this number prominently — because the only way to fix a cost you cannot see is to see it.
