Which platform fits your team?

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

The small business owner

Do you need a simple visual inventory to track items, photos and quantities with folders and tags?

Sortly is a good fit. It is quick to set up, visual-first and affordable for small item counts. If you do not need GPS, maintenance or compliance, Sortly covers basic inventory well.

The construction or mining operator

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

Choose MapTrack. GPS tracking, pre-start inspections, CMMS, compliance registers and job costing are built in. Sortly does not cover these, beyond date-based maintenance and repair alerts.

The growing team that has outgrown spreadsheets

Have you outgrown a simple inventory tool and need GPS, maintenance or cost tracking?

Choose MapTrack. It includes everything Sortly offers for asset tracking plus GPS, maintenance, compliance and job/project costing. One platform instead of multiple tools.

The fleet and field services manager

Do you need 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources, offline pre-starts and inspections on every plan and enterprise controls (SSO, RBAC)?

Choose MapTrack. Sortly does not publicly document telematics integrations, and its documented integrations are QuickBooks Online, Slack, Teams, Amazon Business US, webhooks and an API, and its Offline Mobile Access is on every plan, including Free. MapTrack includes telematics data sources, offline on all plans (including pre-starts and inspections) and RBAC built for operational scale.

How MapTrack and Sortly compare on features

Which platform offers GPS asset tracking?

MapTrack provides GPS trackers (including ultra long-life battery units), real-time location on a map and geofencing. Sortly does not publicly document GPS tracking.

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 connects 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources in its integration directory, consolidating location data from multiple sources into a single platform. BLE beacons can be added for proximity detection inside sheds and laydown areas. Geofencing enables entry/exit alerts, time-on-site reporting and job costing. Sortly does not publicly document GPS tracking, telematics integrations or geofencing on its features or pricing pages, so we mark those not publicly confirmed rather than absent. What it does document is QR and barcode scanning for check-in and check-out, and organising items by folder, tag and location. If you need to know where your assets are in real time, confirm that directly with Sortly.

How does visual inventory compare between the two platforms?

Sortly is built around visual, photo-based inventory with folders and tags. MapTrack also supports photo capture but adds GPS, maintenance and compliance on top.

Sortly is designed as a visual-first inventory tool. You can photograph items, organise them into folders and tags, track quantities and scan QR or barcodes for check-in/check-out. It is simple to set up and well-suited for small businesses, home inventory and basic asset lists. MapTrack also supports photo capture, QR/barcode scanning and asset registers, but it layers on GPS real-time tracking, maintenance scheduling, pre-start inspections, compliance registers, cost tracking and job/project costing. If your needs are limited to a visual inventory list, Sortly is straightforward. If you need operational depth alongside asset visibility, MapTrack covers both.

Which platform includes maintenance and work orders?

MapTrack includes a full built-in CMMS with work orders, scheduled maintenance and telemetry-driven triggers. Sortly schedules maintenance via date-based alerts, but does not document work orders.

MapTrack is a unified tracking and CMMS platform: work orders, meter-based triggers driven by live telemetry (engine hours, odometer, fault codes), inspection-to-work-order escalation and planned maintenance schedules. You can tie maintenance to job costing and mixed-asset workflows. Sortly does schedule maintenance, and it is worth saying so plainly: its features page states date-based alerts let you track maintenance and repair schedules for assets, tools and equipment, and its equipment tracking page describes scheduling maintenance and repairs and setting warranty and expiry reminders. What is not publicly documented is a work-order module, or triggers driven by live meter data. So the difference is depth rather than presence: reminders on a date field versus work orders raised, assigned, costed and closed against an asset.

Which is better for compliance, inspections and audit trails?

MapTrack keeps compliance attached to each asset with pre-starts, inspections and evidence trails. Sortly does not publicly document compliance workflows.

MapTrack keeps compliance attached to each asset: pre-start inspections, certificates, licences and evidence trails in one place for audits. Inspections can escalate to work orders automatically. The mobile-first app gives field teams full capability offline, which is critical on remote sites without connectivity. Sortly does not publicly document pre-start inspections, compliance registers or audit trails, though its date-based alerts can flag warranty and expiry dates. If your industry requires documented inspections, compliance evidence or regulatory audit readiness, MapTrack is built for that and you should confirm the current Sortly scope with them directly.

Which tracks costs per asset with depreciation and job costing?

MapTrack tracks full cost of ownership per asset with depreciation, service costs and job/project-level costing. Sortly tracks basic item values only.

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?" Sortly documents cost as an item detail alongside quantity and location, and its Jobs feature links items to projects, work orders and requests. Depreciation tracking, TCO reporting and job-level cost allocation are not publicly confirmed. If cost control and project costing matter, this is a significant differentiator.

Which is purpose-built for heavy industry?

MapTrack is designed for construction, civil, mining and facilities. Sortly is designed for small business and home inventory.

MapTrack is designed for construction, civil, mining, oil and gas, facilities and field services, where assets are mobile, crews rotate, and compliance is non-negotiable. Workflows like pre-start inspections, site transfers, plant compliance registers, job-site geofencing and 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources are first-class features. MapTrack handles mixed fleets: vehicles, plant, tools and equipment in one register. Sortly is designed for small businesses, retail shops, home inventory and simple office asset tracking. Industry-specific workflows for heavy industry are not publicly documented. If you operate in construction, mining or any field with regulatory compliance requirements, MapTrack is built for your environment.

Which works offline on remote sites?

MapTrack is built mobile-first with full offline mode standard on all plans. Sortly offers Offline Mobile Access on every plan, including Free.

MapTrack is built mobile-first with full capability on phone and tablet including offline mode with background sync, standard on every plan. This is critical for remote construction and mining sites where connectivity is unreliable or unavailable. Crews can complete pre-starts, inspections, asset transfers and scanning without a signal. Sortly markets Offline Mobile Access (track and update items offline) on every plan, including Free. Its mobile app (iOS and Android) supports photo capture and QR/barcode scanning. If your teams work on remote sites at 5 am with no signal, compare offline depth with both vendors.

Which is better: MapTrack or Sortly?

MapTrack wins for teams managing operational assets in heavy industry. GPS tracking, maintenance, compliance, cost tracking, job costing, 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources and offline mobile on all plans, with pre-starts and inspections that work without signal, are built in. Sortly wins for small businesses that need a simple, visual inventory tool without operational requirements like GPS, maintenance or compliance.

Frequently asked questions: MapTrack vs Sortly

Sortly does not document GPS tracking or real-time map location on its features or pricing pages, so we mark it not publicly confirmed rather than absent. What Sortly does document is QR and barcode scanning for check-in and check-out workflows, and folder- and tag-based organisation by location. MapTrack provides GPS trackers (including ultra long-life battery units), real-time location on a map, geofencing with entry/exit alerts and 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources in MapTrack's integration directory. If you need to know where your assets are in real time, MapTrack covers that.

Partly, and it is worth being precise because this is often reported wrongly. Sortly's own features page states that date-based alerts 'let you track maintenance and repair schedules for assets, tools, and equipment', and its equipment tracking page describes scheduling maintenance and repairs and setting reminders for warranty and expiry dates. So Sortly can schedule maintenance, via alerts on a custom date field. What is not publicly documented is a work-order module: raising, assigning, tracking and closing a job with parts and labour against it. MapTrack includes a full built-in CMMS with scheduled maintenance, telemetry-driven triggers (engine hours, odometer, fault codes), work orders, inspections and inspection-to-work-order escalation. If maintenance is a core requirement, MapTrack is built for that.

Sortly positions itself for small businesses, home inventory and simple asset lists. GPS tracking, pre-start inspections, compliance registers and job costing are not publicly confirmed on its own pages. Offline is the exception and we should not claim otherwise: Sortly markets Offline Mobile Access on every plan, including Free. MapTrack is purpose-built for construction, mining, civil, oil and gas, facilities and field services with all of those capabilities included.

Sortly offers a Free plan (up to 100 items), Advanced at $49/mo billed monthly or $24/mo annual in the first year (up to 500 items, 2 users), Ultra at $149/mo billed monthly or $74/mo annual in the first year (up to 2,000 items), Premium (up to 5,000 items) and Enterprise (10,000+ items) on request. User licences are bundled per tier (rising from 1 to 12+ as you move up), not sold as per-seat add-ons. MapTrack uses asset-based pricing with unlimited users, files, scans, documents, forms, alerts and automations included. No per-seat fees. Compare total cost for your asset count and whether you need GPS, maintenance and compliance.

Yes. MapTrack includes everything Sortly offers for asset tracking (QR/barcode scanning, asset registers, photo capture) plus GPS real-time location, maintenance and CMMS, pre-start inspections, compliance registers, job and project costing, inventory management and 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources in MapTrack's integration directory. If you have outgrown a simple inventory tool, MapTrack is the next step.

Sortly markets Offline Mobile Access (track and update items offline) on every plan, including Free. MapTrack is built mobile-first with full capability on phone and tablet including offline mode standard on all plans, which is critical for remote construction and mining sites without connectivity. If your crews work in areas with limited or no signal, compare offline depth with both vendors.

MapTrack supports CSV and spreadsheet imports so you can migrate your asset register and item data from Sortly. 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. One work order can cover many assets, each with its own pass or fail, for test and tag, calibration and inspection rounds. The maintenance service board shows servicing across your assets, and due-soon emails reach the assigned person when a service falls due within 7 days.

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.
