What is electrical contractor tool tracking software?

Electrical contractor tool tracking software is a platform that helps electricians and electrical businesses track, manage and maintain their tools, test equipment and vehicles across multiple jobs and depots. It replaces spreadsheets, paper calibration logs and disconnected compliance files with a single source of truth for where every asset is, who has it, when it was last calibrated and when it’s due for service. MapTrack combines asset tracking (QR codes, barcodes and GPS for vans), calibration and test-and-tag compliance, maintenance scheduling and work orders, and reporting, all on mobile in the field.

Can MapTrack track calibration due dates on test equipment?

Yes. MapTrack stores calibration certificates, due dates and calibration history against each asset. You can set alerts that notify you before a calibration is due so nothing expires without action. Reports show which test equipment is current, due soon or overdue - across your entire fleet of instruments. When a calibration is completed, upload the new certificate and update the due date directly from mobile or desktop.

Does MapTrack handle test and tag compliance?

Yes. Test and tag records, inspection results and compliance certificates attach directly to each asset in MapTrack. You can run test-and-tag inspections on mobile, record pass/fail results with photos, and set next-due dates. Reports show which assets are current, due or overdue for test and tag, making audits straightforward. Failed items can trigger work orders automatically so defective equipment is taken out of service and repaired or replaced.

Can we track tools by technician or van?

Yes. Assign tools and test equipment to individual technicians, vans or jobs. MapTrack shows you exactly what’s allocated to each person or vehicle at any time. When a technician checks tools in or out from their van or the depot, the system records the transfer with a timestamp. You can filter reports by technician or van to see what’s assigned, what’s missing and what’s due for calibration or service.

How do we run van or depot audits?

Use bulk scanning (QR or barcode) to verify what’s in a van, at a depot or on a job site. MapTrack records each asset scanned, when it was scanned and who scanned it. Compare scanned results to expected asset lists and immediately see what’s missing, unscanned or unaccounted for. Van audits that used to take half a day with clipboards now take minutes on a phone. Reports by technician, van or depot give you audit-ready evidence.

Does it work offline on job sites?

Yes. MapTrack is built for field use with offline support. Technicians can scan assets, complete pre-start forms, update work orders and record inspections in areas with no connectivity - basements, switchrooms, plant rooms or remote sites. Data syncs automatically when the device comes back online. This is critical for electrical work where much of the job happens in areas with limited or no cellular coverage.

Can we track both hand tools and fleet vehicles in the same system?

Yes. MapTrack supports mixed asset types in a single platform. Use QR or barcode labels for hand tools, power tools, test equipment and smaller items. Use GPS tracking for vans and light fleet where devices are fitted. All asset types - regardless of how they’re tracked. Live in the same system alongside their calibration records, compliance history, maintenance schedules and assignments.

How does MapTrack help with AS/NZS 3760 compliance?

MapTrack helps electrical contractors meet AS/NZS 3760 (in-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment) by keeping test-and-tag records, inspection dates and next-due dates attached to each asset. You can run inspections on mobile, record results, and set automated reminders before the next test is due. All compliance evidence is searchable and exportable for audits. This ensures your portable electrical equipment is tested on schedule and records are always audit-ready.

How does MapTrack pricing work for electrical teams?

MapTrack uses per-asset pricing with unlimited users included. Not per-seat licensing. You can give access to every technician, apprentice, supervisor and admin without your costs growing as the team does. This is a significant advantage for electrical contractors where crew sizes change, apprentices rotate, and you may need dozens of people to be able to scan tools or complete forms. Pricing scales with the number of assets you track, not the size of your team.

How long does it take to get an electrical team set up on MapTrack?

Most electrical teams are running on MapTrack within one to two weeks. The typical approach is to start with one asset class, such as test equipment or power tools : import or scan in assets, set up your first workflows (usually calibration tracking or test and tag), and roll out to technicians. MapTrack’s onboarding team supports you through setup and training at no additional cost. For larger teams with multiple depots, a phased approach works well: get adoption solid on one workflow, then expand to more asset types and locations.

What we track

Every tool and instrument in your electrical business

MapTrack is built for the full mix of assets that move between technician vans, depots and job sites, from hand tools and power tools to calibrated test instruments and fleet vehicles.

The challenge

The hidden costs of untracked electrical tools and test equipment

Electrical tools and test equipment don’t sit in one place. They move between vans, jobs and depots daily, require calibration certificates, need test-and-tag compliance , and their loss or misuse creates real cost and risk for your business.

Test equipment moves between jobs with no tracking

Multimeters, cable testers and thermal cameras get left on a job, borrowed by another crew or sit in the wrong van. Without a clear chain of custody you lose visibility and end up buying replacements for gear that’s still in the business somewhere.

Calibration due dates missed across the fleet

When calibration certificates live in filing cabinets or scattered spreadsheets, due dates slip. Using out-of-calibration test equipment on a job creates compliance risk, inaccurate readings and potential rework, and you won’t know until it’s too late.

Tools go missing between vans and jobs

Power tools, hand tools and specialty gear move between vans, depots and job sites daily. Without check-in/check-out, tools disappear gradually and the cost of replacement adds up across the year.

Test and tag compliance not attached to assets

Test-and-tag records in separate spreadsheets or paper logs don’t link back to the asset. When an auditor asks to see the compliance history for a specific piece of equipment, you’re scrambling to find it instead of pulling it up in seconds.

No visibility on what’s with each technician

Supervisors can’t see what tools and test equipment are in each van or on each job without calling every technician. Reallocation of high-value gear relies on memory and phone calls, leading to underutilisation and double-purchasing.

By the numbers

The real cost of poor tool control for electrical contractors

Tool loss, untested equipment and time wasted sourcing gear all directly erode profitability. The numbers make a clear case for digital tracking.

“We went from chasing calibration certificates in filing cabinets to having everything on each asset in MapTrack. Our technicians scan tools in and out of their vans, calibration due dates are tracked automatically, and we haven’t missed a single compliance deadline since we started. It’s replaced our spreadsheets entirely.”
