How MapTrack and Hilti ON!Track compare on features
Which is better for GPS asset tracking?
MapTrack offers GPS trackers (including ultra long-life battery units) and integrates with 140+ OEM GPS vendors. Hilti ON!Track uses BLE proximity-based tracking via Hilti hardware.
MapTrack supports GPS trackers -- including ultra long-life battery units that run for years without charging -- so you get real-time location on a map for plant, vehicles and high-value equipment across job sites. MapTrack also integrates with 140+ OEM telematics and GPS vendors, consolidating location data from multiple sources into a single platform. BLE beacons can be added for proximity detection inside sheds and laydown areas. Hilti ON!Track uses Hilti BLE tags and gateways for proximity-based tracking (knowing when a tool passes through a gateway or van) but does not offer dedicated GPS tracker integration or real-time location on a map via GPS. If you need to see where your excavators, trucks and generators are right now across multiple sites, MapTrack is the stronger choice.
Which platform consolidates fleet telemetry from 140+ OEM vendors?
MapTrack integrates with 140+ OEM telematics and GPS vendors, consolidating fleet data into one system. Hilti ON!Track offers telematics via Hilti hardware only.
MapTrack integrates with 140+ OEM telematics and GPS vendors -- engine hours, odometer, fuel consumption, fault codes and DTC alerts flow from multiple standalone systems into a single platform. This data powers automated maintenance triggers (e.g. service at 500 engine hours), geofence entry/exit alerts and fault-code-to-work-order workflows -- replacing the need to log into multiple standalone GPS or telematics systems. Hilti ON!Track offers telematics through Hilti hardware but does not consolidate data from 140+ OEM vendors. For mixed-brand fleets of trucks, excavators or generators, MapTrack turns live machine data from any OEM into proactive maintenance.
Which tracks costs per asset with TCO reporting?
MapTrack tracks full cost of ownership per asset. Hilti ON!Track offers job costing via Viewpoint but no built-in TCO across all asset classes.
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. Hilti ON!Track integrates with Trimble Viewpoint Vista/Spectrum for job costing -- strong if you already use Viewpoint -- but does not provide a built-in depreciation engine or full TCO reporting across all asset classes. If you need to answer 'what does this excavator actually cost us per hour?' MapTrack provides it out of the box.
Which is vendor-neutral vs hardware-locked?
MapTrack is vendor-neutral: use any compatible GPS, QR or OEM device. Hilti ON!Track requires Hilti hardware (BLE tags, gateways).
MapTrack is vendor-neutral -- use QR codes, barcodes, GPS trackers from any compatible vendor, or ingest OEM telematics data from 140+ sources. You are not locked into one hardware ecosystem. Hilti ON!Track tracks any brand of tools and equipment but requires Hilti hardware: BLE tags, Van Gateways, Heavy Equipment Gateways and telematics devices. If you want to avoid hardware lock-in, use mixed-brand tracking devices, or switch tracking methods as your fleet evolves, MapTrack gives you that flexibility. If you are standardising on Hilti tools and infrastructure, ON!Track integrates tightly with that ecosystem.
How do maintenance and work orders compare?
MapTrack is a unified tracking + CMMS platform with telemetry-driven triggers. Hilti ON!Track focuses on tool tracking and job costing; verify maintenance depth.
MapTrack is a unified tracking + CMMS platform: work orders, meter-based triggers driven by live telemetry from 140+ OEM vendors, inspection-to-work-order escalation and planned maintenance schedules. Hilti ON!Track focuses on tool and equipment tracking with assignment, job costing (via Viewpoint) and telematics via Hilti hardware; verify the depth of work order and preventive maintenance features in a demo. If you need a single system for 'who has it, where it is, what it costs, and when it is due for service,' MapTrack is built for that.
Which offers inventory management alongside asset tracking?
MapTrack includes inventory management in the same platform as asset tracking, GPS and maintenance. Hilti ON!Track offers tool crib management; verify inventory workflows.
MapTrack includes inventory management -- consumables, spare parts, materials and stock levels -- alongside asset tracking, GPS, maintenance and cost tracking in a single platform. Teams can manage tool cribs, parts stores and site stock without a separate system. Hilti ON!Track supports tool crib management and assignment but verify whether it offers dedicated inventory workflows like stock counts, reorder alerts or consumption tracking tied to work orders. If you want one platform for both assets and inventory, MapTrack covers both.
Which is better for compliance, inspections and offline mobile?
MapTrack keeps compliance attached to each asset with full offline support. Hilti ON!Track focuses on tool tracking; verify pre-start and offline capability.
MapTrack keeps compliance attached to each asset: pre-starts, inspections, certificates and evidence trails in one place for audits. The mobile-first app gives field teams full capability offline -- critical on remote sites without connectivity. Hilti ON!Track provides a mobile app for tool tracking and assignment; verify pre-start inspection and offline capability in a demo. If your teams do pre-starts on excavators at 5 am with no signal, compare offline depth in a pilot.
Which is better: MapTrack or Hilti ON!Track?
MapTrack wins for teams that need vendor-neutral GPS tracking, fleet telemetry from 140+ OEM vendors, per-asset cost tracking and a full asset lifecycle platform (tracking, maintenance, inventory, compliance, cost). Hilti ON!Track is a strong choice if you are standardising on Hilti hardware and need tight integration with Trimble Viewpoint for job costing.
