The employee toolbox tracking feature may be used to itemize and inventory the contents of the employee's toolbox. This is generally done for insurance purposes when the employee's personal tools and toolbox are covered by the shop's insurance carrier. The contents of the toolbox can be 'validated' by a supervisor, certifying that the contents of the toolbox was accurate as shown on specific dates.
