They did a little demo for us where we got to play with the Tool Link and the other Work Solutions products at the Ride & Drive... in a nutshell -- WOW.
The RFID tag thing (tool link) is one of the smartest (and most simplistic) ideas ever to go into a pick-up, in my opinion. The RFID tags are super cheap and identify what tools are in your bed (pending they're tagged).
One of the Engineers told me to hop out, go grab something out of the truck's box and lay it on the ground outside of the truck. I grabbed a Dewalt drill... He, of course, bet me that he'd be able to tell me what I pulled out... of course, he won (I didn't bet him though) because, by the time I got back in the truck, he had already run a scan and said that I'd removed the drill...
As for the printing and Crew Chief stuff -- again, WOW. A contractor that is using his truck can print information, invoices, and all kinds of stuff RIGHT FROM THEIR FRONT SEAT - just like that picture illustrates.
The system is ultra cool and will pay for itself (for the right type of person) very quickly -- I mean, leaving behind a miter saw or a drill is pretty expensive; pretty fast!
