Special tool management for dealership service departments

The special tools your shop relies on, accounted for.

Every tool out has a name next to it. Every return is on the record. If it’s late, it flags itself. If it’s damaged, there’s a paper trail. You find out from the dashboard, not from the next tech who needed it.

Built for franchise service departments — BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and any shop where the special tools cost more than the car in the bay.

How it works — the everyday setup

On every computer in the shop, ready when you need it.

TulTag is an encrypted, cloud-based web app, not a machine in the corner. It runs right on the techs’ own bay computers — and it deserves a bookmark on every one, so the tool room is always one click from the repair manual.

  • Bookmark it once on each computer and it’s always ready — it stays signed in, nothing to install, updates arrive on their own.
  • Copy the tool number straight out of the repair manual, paste it into the search, and TulTag shows exactly which cabinet and drawer the tool lives in. Techs have to look that up anyway — so tagging out is the same step, not an extra one.
  • The foreman’s view sees every tag-out the moment it happens — who has what, how long it’s been out, what came back damaged. Always current, nothing to refresh.

And the shared station below? Included with every shop, no extra charge — a kiosk mode for the tool room that runs right alongside everyone’s own computers.

Shared Station Mode

One screen in the tool room. The whole crew covered.

Dedicate any shop computer into a locked station — a kiosk mode built for the tool room, shared by everyone and locked to your shop.

  • Techs tag in with their employee number — same four-second habit, no accounts, no passwords.
  • Foremen open their own dashboard with a 6-digit PIN — every foreman lands in their own account, right on the floor.
  • It runs on your dealership’s account, not anyone’s personal login — the device locks to the shop itself and tightens its own security rules in station mode. Nothing is tied to one person.
Locks into full screen

The station is the only thing on that screen — no desktop, no browser, no wandering off.

Signs out on a timer

Walk away and it locks itself for the next person — 30 seconds to 5 minutes, you pick.

Try It in the Demo

Fully compatible with the everyday setup — add one station or none, and every other computer in the shop stays exactly as it is.

How you integrate station mode is up to you. We’re fully remote — no hardware from us, nothing we install, and we never touch your tool room. Any computer you already have can become the shared station. And station mode isn’t a necessity — it’s an additional tool, there if your shop wants it.
AI-powered setup

Your inventory builds itself.

Every dealership has a tool list somewhere — an Excel file, a PDF from the manufacturer, even a binder page. Hand it to TulTag and you're done.

  • Upload your shop’s tool list — Excel, CSV, or PDF — and AI reads every line. Only have it on paper? A photo works too.
  • Names, numbers, and categories are filled in automatically. You review everything before it saves.
  • Unlimited tools in minutes, not a week of typing. Most shops are fully loaded the same afternoon they sign up.

Built for real shops

Everything you need. Nothing you'll ignore.

No new hardware

TulTag runs in the browser on the shop PCs you already have. Want a dedicated screen in the tool room? See the shared station

Live in one second

Tag a tool out at the cabinet and it’s on the foreman’s dashboard one second later. Every screen in the shop stays in sync on its own — nobody touches a refresh button.

A real audit trail

Every checkout is tied to a tech’s own employee number. Who had it, how long they kept it, and what shape it came back in — one search answers all three.

Smart reminders

Every tool gets its own late timer — run past it and the tech is pinged automatically, with the tool number and exactly where it goes back. The foreman never has to play collections.

Locked down, backed up

Every dealership is sealed off in its own walled section of the database, and everything is backed up to the cloud automatically. Settings, imports, and history stay foreman-only.

Set up in an afternoon

No data entry, no new logins. AI reads your tool list, techs use their existing employee numbers, and the dashboard’s setup checklist marks itself done step by step.

Pricing

No tiers, no feature gates. Just pick how long you’re in.

Every plan is the full product, billed monthly, per dealership. The commitment just sets your rate — longer term, lower price.

Do the math before you decide
Ten minutes a day across 20 techs at $200/hr is ~$13,300 a month in lost wrench time. TulTag recovers it — and pays for itself about 44 times over.
And that’s before you count the tools you stop replacing.

Questions foremen ask

Fair questions, straight answers.

Do my techs need accounts or passwords?

No. Techs only ever type their employee number — the one they already know. Each shop PC gets unlocked once with a shared shop login, and that's the last password anyone on the floor sees.

What do we need to install?

Nothing. TulTag is a web app built for the shop’s computers — open it in the browser, bookmark it, done. Updates and new features show up on their own.

Our tool list is a mess of paper and old spreadsheets. Is setup painful?

That mess is exactly what the AI import is for. Photograph the binder pages or upload the spreadsheet — TulTag reads every tool, suggests categories, and you approve the list before anything saves. Setup happens the same day.

Honestly — will my techs actually tag out?

A tech skips a system for one of two reasons: it’s slow, or nobody notices. TulTag is four seconds and everybody notices. That combination fixes the habit fast.

What happens after my dealership enrolls?

Your dealership’s system is created automatically — no waiting on us. Within about a minute you get a welcome email with your claim link and your shop code. Click it, pick a password, and the dashboard is yours. Most shops are up and running the same day.

Am I locked in? How does the commitment work?

You’re billed monthly for the length of the term you pick, and that term is what locks in your lower rate. When it ends, nothing jumps — it simply continues month-to-month at the same price until you decide to stop.

How does the 14-day guarantee work?

Within 14 days of your first payment, email us and we refund everything you’ve paid and cancel the plan on the spot — you owe nothing further. If TulTag doesn’t earn its place in your shop, you don’t pay for it.
