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.
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, so headcount alone will not decide it. Cheqroom prices per admin (from around $184 per admin/month) while MapTrack prices per asset. Model per-asset versus per-admin against your asset count and the number of admins 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 offers scan-based location and a live map, with third-party GPS via Tive, but no native GPS hardware.
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 scan-based location on a live map and can connect third-party GPS through a Tive integration, but it does not ship its own real-time GPS hardware. 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 and check-in. Cheqroom adds calendar booking, availability views and kit management. MapTrack adds native GPS, telematics-driven maintenance and AS/NZS-aware compliance alongside custody.
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 and reservations, 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 include work orders and preventive maintenance. MapTrack adds telematics-driven, meter-based PM and automatic inspection-to-work-order escalation. Cheqroom schedules preventive maintenance, calibration and service history.
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 and compliance trails.
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 does not offer cost tracking or job costing.
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). What its public sources do not document is lifecycle TCO roll-ups (hire, fuel and operating costs per asset) or job-level cost allocation. 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; consumable inventory is not documented.
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); consumable inventory, spare parts management and stock-level tracking are not documented in its public sources. 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.
