Controlled Toolstore
A custody and assurance platform for industrial sites. It tracks anything in and out against a person and a job — and, where an item must be inspected or calibrated, it physically prevents an out-of-date item from being issued before it leaves the store, with a complete certificate trail behind every transaction.
Eleven A4 pages, 746 KB. What the platform does, where it applies, what set-up asks of you, and what is included.

Custody
Issue and return recorded against a person and a job, at the moment it happens. Usage and job-cost allocation, replenishment on real movement, and offline resilience so the store keeps working when the connection does not.
Inspection & calibration
Every periodic check in one place, with unlimited inspection regimes, a certificate trail, and in-date gating that refuses to release an item that is out of date.
Points & access
The terminal and peripherals at the point of issue, and whatever gating the location warrants. Matched to the process the location runs, not to what installs easily.
We supply the process and the technology. Your people stay yours.
Sierra Acuity owns and runs the platform and supports it around the clock. Your equipment stays yours, and your people run the store. We track and distribute items, we do not supply them, and we do not supply labour. That boundary is the same one stated in the contract structure and it does not move.
A record cannot stop a hand reaching for it. Where an item must be gated rather than recorded, that is what the hardware layer is for, and the sheet is explicit about which applications need it and which do not.
One platform, many controlled stores.
- Special tools and consumables — the general case, and usually the first installation.
- Gas monitor fleets — where an instrument must be in bump test and in calibration to be issued at all.
- Rigging and lifting equipment — where the certificate trail is the control, and inspection dates decide what may leave.
- General equipment and assets — anything that has to be tracked to a person, or kept in date.
Up and running from the information you already have.
Set-up runs off three things you can already export: product, location and people. From there it is short and iterative — send your data, we propose a layout, we refine it together, then go live and improve it. There is no site visit required to get a price, and the questionnaire is the only thing you need to complete.
The sheet sets out what is included with a terminal and how the three layers are priced relative to one another. No rates are published on this site; every figure is sized from the three drivers and confirmed at a short scoping review.
We are the experts. Give us some details and we will tell you what we think.
Four steps and no site visit: tell us the requirement, complete the questionnaire, we size it, and you get a price.
