9 best asset tracking software in Australia (2026)
Comparing asset tracking software for Australian sites? We evaluated 9 platforms on tracking methods, maintenance, pre-starts and compliance, offline use, pricing and Australian presence.
GM of Operations
For Australian teams tracking a mix of tools, plant, equipment and vehicles across sites, the best asset tracking software keeps them in one register with QR labels, GPS where it matters, offline pre-starts and maintenance. MapTrack (built in Brisbane) fits that brief with per-asset pricing and unlimited users. SafetyCulture suits inspection-led teams, Teletrac Navman vehicle-led fleets, Assignar crew and plant scheduling on civil jobs, and Hilti ON!Track Hilti-heavy tool fleets.
Key takeaways
- Most Australian operators need one register for tools, plant, equipment and vehicles, not a vehicle-only telematics tool plus a spreadsheet.
- Remote sites make offline pre-starts and inspections a requirement: run a demo with the phone in flight mode.
- Pricing models differ: per asset with unlimited users (MapTrack), per user (MaintainX, SafetyCulture) or unpublished (Teletrac Navman, Assignar, Kynection, Track'em).
- Several options are Australian: MapTrack (Brisbane), Kynection (Victoria), Track'em (Perth) and Hardcat, with Assignar and Teletrac Navman running Australian offices.
- On data hosting, ask where every sub-processor runs, not only the main database.

How we evaluated these platforms
We assessed each platform on the criteria that matter to Australian field operations: how assets are identified and located (QR, GPS, Bluetooth, telematics), maintenance, pre-starts and compliance records, mobile offline use, pricing model, trial, and Australian presence. Competitor details come from each vendor's own website as of Sep 2026; where a capability is not stated publicly we say so rather than guess.

Hilti ON!Track
Best for Hilti-centric tool fleetsSolid construction tool tracking if your fleet is Hilti-heavy - vendor lock-in and BLE-only tracking limits mixed-brand teams.
Pricing: Quote only · Trial: Free consultation
Hilti ON!Track is a cloud-based asset and inventory management platform for construction. Tracks tools, equipment, supplies and consumables (any brand) via barcode, Bluetooth tags and Hilti gateways. Job costing integration with Trimble Viewpoint.
BLE tracking uses Hilti’s own tags and gateways for warehouse, vehicle and jobsite visibility - but this is “last-seen” proximity, not real-time GPS. Quote-only pricing and hardware costs (tags, gateways) add complexity. Free productivity analysis and on-site implementation support included.
Key features
- ✓Barcode and BLE tag tracking (Hilti hardware)
- ✓Van, warehouse and jobsite gateways
- ✓Maintenance scheduling and service history
- ✓Safety certifications and training records
- ✓Job costing via Trimble Viewpoint

What Australian teams should check before choosing
Australian operations put a few specific demands on asset tracking software. Test each one in a demo rather than taking it on trust.
- Offline on remote sites. Pre-starts and inspections should complete without reception and sync later.
- Evidence against the asset.Each pre-start, inspection and defect should be recorded on that machine's record, so WHS evidence is one search away.
- Test and tag in the same record. If you manage electrical equipment, keep AS/NZS 3760 results with the rest of the asset history. See test and tag in MapTrack.
- Servicing on run hours. Plant is serviced on hours, not only calendar dates; check the system can raise services from meter readings. See maintenance.
- Who has what, and where. Custody and location should be visible for every tool, not only vehicles with trackers.
- Local fit. Pricing in Australian dollars, support in Australian hours, and a clear answer on where every part of the service is hosted.
How much does asset tracking software cost in Australia?
There are three common models. Per-asset pricing with unlimited users suits large crews; per-user pricing suits small teams with many assets; quote-based pricing is common for enterprise and telematics platforms. GPS trackers and tags are usually separate hardware.
MapTrack is priced per asset: tools and equipment from $1 per asset per month, and fleet, plant and heavy machinery from $8 per asset per month, with unlimited users on every plan and a 30-day free trial. See pricing or the Australian cost guide.
Asset tracking vs fleet management software
Fleet management software centres on vehicles: telematics, fuel, drivers and heavy-vehicle compliance. Asset tracking software covers everything you own, from hand tools to plant. If vehicles are the whole story, compare the best fleet management software in Australia; if you also run plant and tools, the broader register usually saves a second system.
Choosing asset tracking software in Australia
Start from what you actually track and where your crews work. If it is a mix of tools, plant and vehicles across remote sites, prioritise one register, offline pre-starts and maintenance on the same record, then compare pricing models on your real asset count. MapTrack covers asset tracking, pre-starts and maintenance in one system; a demo shows how it handles your own assets.
