Developed with the trade to protect tools & livelihoods – beat tool theft and get ARMD!

Tool theft is the scourge of the construction industry, often putting tradespeople out of business. ARMD, built to protect the livelihoods of all tradespeople, is now encouraging the trade to protect themselves against thieves.

“There's one tool theft every 23 minutes, which equates to approximately 23,000 a year – and that figure is only those that are reported,” explains Stephen Holland, ARMD’s co-founder.

“More than half of UK builders have had their tools stolen and on average, the daily loss of income is around £350, not including damage to vehicles and reputation. Worryingly, approximately half of all tradespeople don't have insurance to cover them if they suffer a tool loss. It can’t go on and that's why we developed ARMD. In just a few minutes, you can insure your tools, protect your livelihood and secure peace of mind.”

ARMD is designed to protect tradespeople so that if a loss is experienced, it'll get you back up and running as quickly as possible. ARMD lets you quickly record, protect, insure and replace your tools, either on the website or via the easy-to-use app.

“We listened to and developed ARMD with the trade, to tackle the many different pain points experienced when trying to protect themselves and their tools,” continues Stephen. “We're proud that our products keep the trade working – they’re the backbone of our country and no-one should be left out of work as a result of tool theft.”

The ARMD platform protect the trade and their business in four ways:

* A free Tool Inventory lets you easily record your tools in one place. This is useful for audits, accounting and insurance claim purposes.

* A fit for purpose tool insurance. If you suffer a loss, ARMD is there to help you get sorted and back to work quickly. The policy is dedicated to tool insurance, so you don't have to remove tools from your van at night, which is often a requirement of other policies. Plus, you can claim digitally once your tools are in the inventory, thus saving hassle and time.

* ARMD also gives you access to smart anti-theft security products for your van, protecting your tools with a range of powerful locks, alarms and smart sensors, which automatically alert you if and when someone tries to break in.

* The ARMD tool shop. Here you can choose from over 30,000 tools from the world’s leading brands and at checkout, you can quickly and easily insure them so you're protected from the outset. Tools bought or replaced via the tool shop are automatically added to your tool inventory, meaning these don't have to be manually uploaded.

“Put together, ARMD completes the loop – record, protect, insure and replace - which provides tradespeople with a practical way of preventing and recovering from tool theft,” continues Stephen. “Our first claim was approved in just under 72 hours, keeping a livelihood intact and hassle to a minimum. That’s the difference ARMD can make.”
