**A smarter, sharper ToolWatch experience — from icon to action.**

## **Introducing Mobile Returns**

With this release, ToolWatch is making it easier than ever to manage tool movement from the field. **Mobile Returns** lets field users create and submit return requests directly within the mobile app, keeping data accurate and workflows moving without the need for desktop access.

**Here’s how it works:**

- Choose **pickup location, destination, and date**.
- Add items using **barcode scan, item number, or search**.
- **Save drafts** or **submit returns** for warehouse pickup.
- Requests appear in **ToolWatch Cloud** as standard tickets.
- Access is managed through existing **role-based permissions**.

Mobile Returns closes the loop between the field and warehouse, helping teams coordinate faster and maintain cleaner inventory data.

Together, these updates strengthen ToolWatch’s promise to deliver a connected, efficient, and field-driven platform experience.
