Return records can capture condition photos, notes and signatures for manager review. The system also schedules maintenance, repairs, calibrations and inspections, keeping dates, costs and service history. It can submit invoices to Poland’s National e-Invoice System (KSeF) and retrieve statuses and receipts. CSV import and export are supported for equipment and other business records; equipment import from Excel is also described. Toolero works in a browser on phones, tablets and computers, with a PWA home-screen option. Starter costs PLN 99 a month, excluding VAT, and allows up to 50 tools; higher listed plans cost 249.00 PLN and PLN 469 a month, also excluding VAT.
