At the core of ARMD’s offering is a comprehensive insurance protection package that combines proactive protection and rapid reimbursement. A groundbreaking approach, this package aims to revolutionize the way tradespeople safeguard their livelihoods. By addressing both prevention and compensation, ARMD provides a holistic solution that significantly minimizes the financial burden and stress associated with theft or damage to tools.

As an added layer of protection, ARMD also offers ARMD Guard, a smart alarm and vehicle tracker that is seamlessly integrated with the ‘ARMD Tools In Transit’ product.
