A Digital Platform for Tracking Jobsite Tools from Milwaukee Tools

Milwaukee Tool launches ONE-KEY, a free web and mobile platform dedicated to labeling, maintaining, and locating all of your tools in real time. I have seen it in action and am happy to say that it lives up to its claims, providing an easy way to add and update everything you bring to the jobsite. You can even add non-tool items and non-Milwaukee brand products, giving you a full range of inventory options.
