What's the quick summary of MapTrack vs Cheqroom?

Cheqroom covers equipment checkout, booking, work orders, inspections and cost reporting. MapTrack adds native GPS, telematics-driven maintenance, AS/NZS pre-starts and offline-first mobile, alongside cost tracking, for construction, mining and field services. Here is a clear, side-by-side comparison.

TL;DR: MapTrack and Cheqroom overlap more than they used to. MapTrack is built for heavy industry (construction, civil, mining, facilities) with native GPS trackers (including ultra long-life battery units), 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources, geofencing, telematics-driven meter-based maintenance, AS/NZS-aware pre-start inspections, per-asset cost tracking, job/project costing, inventory management and offline-first mobile. Cheqroom is an equipment management platform spanning industrial, construction and media teams, with QR/barcode scanning, calendar booking, custody tracking, kit management, work order management, preventive and calibration scheduling, pass/fail inspections and certificates. Cheqroom now covers maintenance and inspections; MapTrack differentiates on native GPS, telematics-driven PM, AS/NZS pre-starts and offline-first depth, not on their absence. MapTrack prices per asset with unlimited users; Cheqroom prices per admin with unlimited regular users (from around $184 per admin/month). Choose MapTrack for native GPS, telematics-driven maintenance and AS/NZS workflows in heavy industry; choose Cheqroom if checkout, kit management and calendar booking are your primary needs. MapTrack covers tools, plant, trailers and vehicles on one record, from any phone, and holds Capterra’s Best Ease of Use award for 2026.

Which platform fits your team?

Pick the persona that sounds most like you. The recommendation reflects where each platform is strongest.

The media or AV equipment manager

Do you manage cameras, lighting, audio gear or AV equipment with a focus on checkout and booking?

Cheqroom is a strong fit. Calendar-based booking, kit management and custody tracking are built for media and AV workflows. MapTrack suits this too, but its depth is in heavy-industry GPS, telematics and AS/NZS workflows you may not need here.

The construction or mining operator

Do you manage plant, vehicles, tools and equipment across job sites with compliance requirements?

Choose MapTrack. Native GPS, AS/NZS-aware pre-start inspections, telematics-driven maintenance, job costing and offline-first mobile are built for heavy industry. Cheqroom covers inspections and maintenance, but MapTrack goes deeper on plant, fleet and AS/NZS workflows.

The multi-site field services team

Do you need real-time GPS location, telematics-driven maintenance and cost tracking across multiple sites?

Choose MapTrack. Native real-time GPS, 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources, meter-based maintenance, cost tracking and offline-first mobile are built for distributed field operations.

The cost-conscious large team

Do you have many users who need access but a moderate number of assets?

Both platforms include unlimited regular users, but Cheqroom also bills anyone assigned to work orders (repairs, inspections, calibrations) as an operator seat in its Work Orders add-on. Cheqroom prices per admin (from around $184 per admin/month, from 3 admins) while MapTrack prices per asset. Model per-asset against your asset count, and per-admin plus operator seats against the admins and technicians you need, then compare total cost.

How MapTrack and Cheqroom compare on features

Which platform offers GPS tracking for assets?

MapTrack ships native GPS trackers (including ultra long-life battery units) with real-time location on a map. Cheqroom shows last-scan or manual location on an item map, with live tracking through partners such as Tive; native GPS hardware is not publicly documented.

MapTrack supports native GPS trackers, including ultra long-life battery units that run for years without charging, so you get continuous real-time location on a map for plant, vehicles and high-value equipment across job sites. MapTrack also integrates with 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources, consolidating location and machine data from multiple sources into a single platform. BLE beacons can be added for proximity detection inside sheds and laydown areas. Cheqroom shows an item’s location on a map from its last mobile scan or a manual entry and offers live tracking through partners such as Tive, but real-time GPS hardware of its own is not publicly documented. If you need continuous, hardware-level location across a mixed fleet, not just last-scan position, MapTrack covers that gap.

How does equipment checkout and custody tracking compare?

Both platforms support equipment check-out, check-in and advance booking. Cheqroom adds kit management and a booking-first calendar. MapTrack adds native GPS, telematics-driven maintenance and AS/NZS-aware compliance alongside custody and Requests.

Cheqroom is strong at equipment checkout. Its core workflow tracks who has what, where and when, with calendar-based booking, availability views and kit management (grouping items into kits for a shoot, event or crew). MapTrack also supports asset assignment, check-out/check-in with due-back dates and accessories, and reservations through Requests with optional approval, but goes further by adding native GPS tracking, telematics-driven maintenance, AS/NZS-aware pre-start inspections, cost tracking and inventory in the same platform. If your primary need is equipment checkout with booking calendars and kit management, Cheqroom does that well. If you need checkout plus continuous real-time location, meter-based maintenance and heavy-industry compliance, MapTrack is the broader platform.

Which platform includes maintenance and work orders?

Both platforms offer work orders and preventive maintenance; on Cheqroom, work orders are a paid add-on. MapTrack adds telematics-driven, meter-based PM and automatic inspection-to-work-order escalation. Cheqroom schedules preventive maintenance, calibration and service history, and turns flagged items into maintenance work orders.

Cheqroom now markets work order management, preventive maintenance and calibration scheduling, and service history, so the basics of a CMMS are covered on both sides. MapTrack differentiates on how maintenance is triggered: meter-based, telematics-driven preventive maintenance using live engine hours, odometer and fault codes, plus failed pre-start items that escalate automatically to work orders, all tied to asset history, compliance records and cost tracking. If your servicing is driven by live machine data and condition rather than calendar dates, MapTrack goes further. If calendar-based preventive maintenance and calibration scheduling meet your needs, Cheqroom now covers that too.

Which is better for compliance and pre-start inspections?

Both platforms offer inspections and certificates. MapTrack adds AS/NZS-aware pre-start templates you adapt to your standard, with failed items escalating to work orders. Cheqroom offers pass/fail inspections with certificates and compliance trails, and can trigger work orders in connected service tools such as ServiceNow or Jira when a routine check finds a problem.

Cheqroom now offers pass/fail inspections, certificate management and compliance and audit trails, so inspections and certificates exist on both sides. MapTrack differentiates with AS/NZS-aware pre-start templates you adapt to your own standard (MapTrack provides the templates and evidence trail but does not certify conformance), failed items that escalate automatically to work orders, and a mobile-first app that gives field teams full capability offline, which is critical on remote construction and mining sites without connectivity. If your inspections need to map to AS/NZS pre-start expectations for excavators, elevated work platforms or cranes and feed directly into maintenance, MapTrack is built around that.

Which platform tracks costs with job and project costing?

MapTrack tracks full cost of ownership per asset and supports job/project-level costing. Cheqroom tracks costs, depreciation and warranty status in its reporting, and its invoicing workflow allocates costs to projects and cost centres.

MapTrack tracks the full cost of ownership per asset: purchase price, depreciation schedules, service and repair costs, hire and rental charges, fuel and operating expenses. Roll-up reports give you total cost of ownership (TCO) by asset, category, site or project. MapTrack also supports job and project-level costing with geofence-based time onsite where GPS is configured, so you can answer "what did this excavator cost on this project?" Cheqroom documents asset depreciation and enterprise reporting on its pricing page (verified Jun 2026). Its invoicing workflow (part of the Work Orders add-on) also assigns items, reservations or usage periods to a department, project or cost centre, with chargeback reports and spend by project. What its public sources do not document is lifecycle TCO roll-ups (hire, fuel and operating costs per asset) or time on site by job. If cost visibility at that depth matters, MapTrack is the stronger fit; verify Cheqroom's reporting against your needs in a pilot.

Which goes deeper for heavy industry?

Both platforms now target industrial and construction. MapTrack goes deeper on plant and fleet registers, AS/NZS pre-starts, native GPS plus telematics and offline-first mobile.

Cheqroom now markets to industrial, construction, manufacturing, energy, government and facilities teams alongside media and events, so both platforms address heavy industry. The difference is depth. MapTrack is built around mixed plant and fleet registers, AS/NZS-aware pre-start inspections, site transfers, plant compliance registers, native GPS combined with telematics ingestion (engine hours, odometer, fault codes) and offline-first mobile for remote sites without connectivity. It keeps vehicles, plant, tools and equipment in one register with maintenance and compliance attached. If your operation rotates crews across remote job sites and leans on machine data and AS/NZS workflows, MapTrack goes deeper on those specifics.

Which offers inventory management alongside asset tracking?

MapTrack includes inventory management for consumables, spare parts and materials. Cheqroom centres on equipment items and kits, and also documents bulk (non-serialised) items with low-stock thresholds and restock alerts through a Consumables Management module (included on Enterprise).

MapTrack includes inventory management alongside asset tracking: consumables, spare parts, materials and stock levels with reorder alerts. Teams can manage tool cribs, parts stores and site stock without a separate system. Cheqroom manages equipment items and kits (assets that get checked out and returned); it also documents bulk (non-serialised) items with low-stock thresholds, usage tracking and restock alerts through a Consumables Management module (an add-on on Core and Business, included on Enterprise), and spare parts tied to work orders appear as procurement work orders in its Work Orders add-on. If you need one platform for both assets and consumable inventory, MapTrack covers both; confirm Cheqroom's scope in a pilot if inventory matters.

Which is better: MapTrack or Cheqroom?

MapTrack leads for heavy-industry teams needing native GPS, telematics-driven maintenance, AS/NZS pre-starts, cost tracking and job costing across job sites. Cheqroom leads for checkout-led teams needing calendar booking and kit management, and now covers work orders and inspections too. Both serve industrial buyers; the fit comes down to depth in GPS, telematics and AS/NZS workflows.

Frequently asked questions: MapTrack vs Cheqroom

Cheqroom shows an item’s location on a map from its last mobile scan or a manual entry and supports live tracking through partners such as Tive, but native real-time GPS hardware is not publicly documented. MapTrack offers native GPS trackers (including ultra long-life battery units), real-time location on a map, geofencing and integrations with 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources. If you need continuous, hardware-level real-time location across plant and vehicles, MapTrack covers that gap.

Yes. Cheqroom now offers work order management, preventive maintenance and calibration scheduling, and service history through its Work Orders add-on, which is a paid add-on on every plan with a 60-day free trial (the operators who do the assigned work are billed inside it). It also turns flagged items into maintenance work orders. MapTrack covers the same ground and adds telematics-driven, meter-based preventive maintenance (triggered by engine hours, odometer and fault codes) plus automatic failed-inspection-to-work-order escalation. If your maintenance is driven by live machine data rather than calendar dates, MapTrack goes further.

Cheqroom prices per administrator with unlimited regular users, from around $184 per admin/month (Core) to $275 (Business) and $367 (Enterprise) on annual billing, subject to admin minimums. MapTrack prices per asset with unlimited users. Both include unlimited end-users, but Cheqroom also bills work-order operators (anyone assigned repairs, inspections or calibrations) as seats in its Work Orders add-on, so the comparison comes down to per-asset versus per-admin plus operator seats: model MapTrack against your asset count and Cheqroom against the admins and operators you need. Compare total cost for your team.

MapTrack includes reservations and scheduling for assets, so teams can book equipment in advance through Requests, with optional approval, conflict checks, fulfil-by-scan and conversion to a check-out. It also adds native GPS, telematics-driven maintenance, AS/NZS-aware pre-start inspections, inventory and cost tracking. If your primary need is equipment checkout with calendar booking and kit management, Cheqroom does that well. If you need checkout plus native GPS, meter-based maintenance and heavy-industry compliance across job sites, MapTrack handles that in one platform.

Yes. Cheqroom now offers pass/fail inspections, certificate management and compliance and audit trails. MapTrack covers inspections and certificates too, and adds AS/NZS-aware pre-start templates you adapt to your own standard, with failed items escalating automatically to work orders. MapTrack provides the templates and evidence trail but does not certify conformance to any standard.

Both platforms now target industrial, construction and field operations, so the question is depth. MapTrack is built around heavy-industry needs: plant and fleet registers, AS/NZS-aware pre-starts, native GPS plus telematics, meter-based maintenance and offline-first mobile for remote sites without connectivity. If you run mixed fleets of plant, vehicles and tools across job sites, MapTrack goes deeper on those workflows.

MapTrack supports CSV and spreadsheet imports so you can migrate your asset register and equipment data from Cheqroom. The MapTrack onboarding team provides guided setup, data mapping and training for your crew. Most teams are operational within a week.

Yes. MapTrack sells AI dash cams and shows their live video and saved event clips in the MapTrack app, beside each vehicle’s pre-starts, servicing and costs. ADAS alerts are on the Pro plan and driver monitoring is on the Advanced plan.

Yes. MapTrack works with QR, barcode and Data Matrix labels: scan them with the phone camera or a handheld Bluetooth or USB scanner, and MapTrack prints durable labels for harsh sites.

Yes. MapTrack runs preventive maintenance on time or meter triggers, with tiered service plans (for example 250, 500 and 1,000 hour services), work orders raised from meter readings, one work order across many assets with a pass or fail for each, parts by location and bin, and a full service history on every asset.

Yes. MapTrack rate cards set daily, weekly and monthly hire rates by asset category or individual asset, for dry, wet or standby hire, and record the hire cost when equipment comes back. Finance dashboards keep a cost ledger for every asset, location and person, with budget vs actual, depreciation and repair-or-replace guidance. Divisions give each division its own assets and team access, while account owners see across every division. Rate cards, finance and divisions are an add-on on the Pro and Enterprise plans.

Yes. MapTrack runs shared phones and tablets in workstation mode, with a personal four-digit PIN for each person, so every check is recorded against the right person. Labels scan with the device camera or a handheld Bluetooth or USB scanner, and check-out and return need a connection.

Yes. Snap a photo of an asset or part and MapTrack’s AI fills in its details for the person adding it to check and save.
