The challenge

The real costs of poorly managed farm assets

Farm assets sit idle for months, then run flat-out for weeks. They live in paddocks with no signal, share gear with neighbours and contractors, and a single breakdown at harvest can cost more than the machine itself. Spreadsheets and shed whiteboards do not stand up to that pressure.

Seasonal idle gear breaks down on the first day of harvest

Headers, sprayers and seeders sit in the shed for nine months of the year. Without an end-of-season service triggered by runtime hours and a clear shed-storage record, you discover the failed bearings, perished hoses and flat batteries on day one of cutting, when every hour off-paddock costs serious money.

Biosecurity audit trails living in paper folders

Wash-down records, paddock-to-paddock movement logs and decontamination evidence are exactly what biosecurity audits expect, and exactly what spreadsheets and paper folders fail to produce on demand. A missing record can stop equipment moving, delay a contract or trigger a property quarantine.

Servicing runs on calendars, not engine hours

Tractors, headers, sprayers and ag pumps wear based on engine hours and runtime, not arbitrary monthly reminders. Missing service intervals causes unplanned breakdowns mid-paddock, expensive after-hours mechanic call-outs and gear sitting idle when it should be earning.

Multi-property visibility fragmented across sheds and contractors

Tools, headers, augers and ute kits move between properties, share sheds with contractors and travel on low-loaders between farms. Without a single view, the farm manager finds out gear is missing the week they need it most. Insurance claims become an exercise in remembering serial numbers.

Theft and equipment loss eat the bottom line

Rural theft is a documented and growing risk across Australia. Ute-mounted gear, generators, chemical drums, hand tools and even quad bikes walk off properties every year. Without a clear chain of custody, GPS on high-value gear and an evidence-ready asset register, the loss is written off and insurance pays slowly.

By the numbers

The real cost of poor asset management on the farm

Agriculture runs on a tight seasonal window. Equipment failures, biosecurity gaps and unplanned downtime carry a direct line to crop revenue. The numbers make a clear case for digital asset management.

MapTrack customer data

Pre-starts

Mobile pre-starts and wash-downs from the paddock

Operator pre-starts, end-of-shift checks, wash-down records and biosecurity sign-off completed in the MapTrack app on any phone. Failed items automatically raise work orders for the workshop or local mechanic. Compliance evidence captured at the point of work, even with no signal.

  • Tractor, header, sprayer and seeder pre-start templates included
  • Failed items automatically trigger work orders to the workshop
  • Photos, GPS location and timestamps captured on every check
  • Works fully offline in paddocks and syncs back at the homestead
  • Build forms with AI or upload your existing pre-start templates

Accountability

Scan, assign and audit from the shed

QR code every shed-stored tool, header front, auger, chemical drum and ute kit. GPS track high-value mobile gear and ute-mounted equipment. Bulk scan at end of season, assign assets to operators or contractors, and run audits against expected shed lists in minutes.

  • Check-in and check-out gear on mobile or tablet
  • Bulk scanning for end-of-season shed audits and stocktakes
  • Assign assets to operators, contractors or properties
  • GPS location for tractors, headers and ute-mounted gear
  • Geofence alerts when assets leave a property boundary

Maintenance

Service gear when engine hours say so, not the calendar

Trigger work orders from engine hours, runtime and odometer rather than arbitrary monthly reminders. John Deere, Case IH and other OEM telematics feeds in automatically where integrated. Every service record lives alongside the asset tracking and compliance history, ready for end-of-season reviews and resale.

  • Meter-based triggers: engine hours, runtime, odometer
  • OEM telematics data feeds in automatically where fitted
  • Work orders dispatched to workshop techs or local mechanics
  • Complete parts, labour and cost tracking by asset
  • Overdue alerts to prevent harvest-day breakdowns
Maintenance & work orders
"Last harvest we lost a header for three days because no one logged the bearing noise the operator picked up at end of season. Since rolling out MapTrack, every operator does the pre-start on their phone and any defect raises a work order before the gear goes back in the shed. That alone has paid for itself."

Integrations

OEM and telematics data, in one place

MapTrack integrates with the OEM telematics platforms Australian growers and ag contractors already run, so engine hours, runtime and GPS location drive maintenance and utilisation automatically without manual data entry.

Field-ready

Built for paddocks, sheds and the workshop

Farm operations happen in the paddock and the shed, not the office. MapTrack runs on any phone or tablet with no specialist hardware required. Operators complete pre-starts, raise defects and update meter readings directly from the cab.

Offline mode means operators can keep working in paddocks with no signal, and data syncs automatically when back near the homestead. Unlimited users means every operator, casual, contractor and mechanic has access without per-seat fees.

Get started

How farms and ag contractors get started

Most growers and ag contractors have their core machinery imported, tagged and pre-starting in MapTrack within days. Start with tractors, headers and sprayers, then expand to shed tools, ute kits and chemical inventory.

Step 1

Import your asset register

Upload your existing machinery list or start with the gear that hits the paddock first this season. Connect John Deere or your OEM telematics so engine hours and meter data feed in automatically.

Step 2

Tag shed equipment and assign by property

Print durable QR labels for headers, fronts, augers, ute kits, hand tools and chemical drums. Organise assets by property, paddock or shed so each manager and contractor sees only what they need.

Step 3

Roll out pre-starts, schedule services, prove biosecurity

Operators complete pre-starts on mobile from day one of the season. Set engine hour triggers for servicing. Wash-downs and movement records captured automatically against each asset for biosecurity and audit-ready evidence.

Unplanned breakdowns and equipment loss are the two biggest controllable costs in farm asset management

MapTrack gives your operators and farm managers the visibility, accountability and maintenance triggers to cut both without adding headcount or replacing your existing OEM telematics.
