Asset tracking software for energy and utilities helps networks and field crews manage test instruments, switchgear and substation assets across depots and regions from one register. MapTrack combines QR scanning and GPS with offline mobile capture for remote substations and overhead lines, calibration certificate alerts and scheduled work orders tied to the specific asset. Energy and utility teams use it to keep multimeters and earth testers legally in calibration, schedule substation inspections and vegetation cycles against each asset, and lift field equipment utilisation across the network.

Key takeaways

  • ABB’s 2023 Value of Reliability survey puts unplanned downtime at close to A$349,000 an hour for the typical Australian industrial business, against A$194,000 globally. Its sample spans energy generation and utilities.
  • AS/NZS 3000 (Wiring Rules) and Energy Networks Association standards govern test equipment use; out-of-calibration multimeters and earth testers cannot be used legally.
  • Substation inspections and vegetation management cycles need scheduled work orders tied to the specific switchgear, pole or asset, not the depot.
  • Field crews working at remote substations and overhead lines need offline mobile capture; otherwise compliance data gets skipped or written on paper.
  • Calibration certificates and due dates on test instruments belong on the asset record with alerts; missed recalibration is the most common audit finding.
  • One register across depots and regions shows which field equipment is idle and where it sits.

Pricing

One price per machine, with the hardware included: software and a QR tag from $12 a machine a month, GPS tracking from $27 and AI cameras from $72. Tools and equipment start at $1/asset/month. Every plan includes unlimited users. Prices are AUD ex GST, and machine prices are for annual billing.

Utility asset tracking for test equipment, earthing sets and live-line tools

For energy and utility crews, the gear that needs tracking every day is what leaves the depot: testers, earthing sets, live-line tools, HV gloves and mats, and the trailers and vehicles that carry them. In MapTrack each item carries its next test or calibration date with the certificate attached. Sign it out to a name, and anything overdue is flagged when someone goes to take it. Test a whole set in one job, with a pass or fail against every item, and book the kit a crew needs for an outage before the job starts.

How to choose utility asset tracking software

Look for:

  1. Each item's next test or calibration date on its record, with the certificate attached
  2. Overdue gear flagged when someone goes to take it
  3. A whole HV set tested in one job, with a pass or fail against every item
  4. Kit booked for an outage before the job starts
  5. Pre starts and servicing across the fleet on the same register

Where MapTrack fits

Next to your network asset system

If poles, lines and substations sit in an enterprise asset system, MapTrack can run beside it for the field gear, vehicles and plant your crews take out.

Next to telematics

A telematics platform tracks where vehicles go. MapTrack puts each vehicle and machine on the same register as the tools, with its pre starts and services. A GPS tracker or AI dashcam puts its latest position on the record, with estimated km and hours feeding its services, and MapTrack Telematics adds GPS tracking with trips, history and geofences.

The challenge

The costs of poorly managed energy and utilities assets

Energy and utilities assets don't sit in one place. They move between depots and field crews, require calibration and compliance evidence, wear out based on usage not dates, and their unavailability can delay critical network maintenance and emergency response.

MapTrack Test and Tag schedule for AS/NZS 3760 inspection and test: 19 enrolled assets, 9 overdue and 10 on track; cordless drills, a 40m extension reel, a portable RCD and an inverter welder, each tested every 3 months with its last service and next due date, beside a MaintScore of 89, Excellent.

Test and tag, lead by lead

Every enrolled lead and tool with when it was last tested and when it’s next due, the overdue ones first.

About this screenshot

Demonstration workspace at a 1440 x 900 desktop viewport, cropped right of the navigation sidebar to a 16:10 frame.

Assets spread across depots and field crews with no single view

Tools, test equipment and plant are scattered across depots, substations and field trucks. Each region runs its own spreadsheet. Nobody has a single view of what's where, who has it or what's available - until something is missing when it's needed.

Compliance and calibration evidence not attached to assets

Calibration certificates, inspection records and compliance evidence live in filing cabinets, shared drives or spreadsheets - disconnected from the asset they relate to. When auditors ask for proof, your team scrambles to find it.

Maintenance driven by usage. Not the calendar for fleet and plant

Vehicles, generators and mobile plant need servicing based on engine hours, odometer or runtime. Not arbitrary monthly reminders. Calendar-based schedules either over-service (wasting money) or miss intervals (risking breakdowns in the field).

Multi-region operations need consistent visibility

Energy and utilities networks span cities, regions and states. Assets move between depots, get allocated to projects, and transfer between crews. Without a single platform with RBAC and reporting, leadership has no reliable picture across the business.

Low-connectivity field locations challenge data capture

Field crews work at remote substations, along overhead lines, at pump stations and in underground infrastructure. If your system doesn't work offline, crews fall back to paper or skip data capture entirely - creating gaps in your compliance and maintenance records.

From MapTrack's own data

What we see across MapTrack customer accounts

These figures come from MapTrack's own product data, de-identified and aggregated. Accounts aren't grouped by industry, so each figure covers every qualifying customer account, not one industry alone. Every figure counts at least 20 accounts, and each one says how it was measured.

15%

Scheduled services past their due date

Across 32 MapTrack customer accounts with service schedules, 15% of scheduled services were past their due date on 26 October 2026. More than three quarters of those (78%) were over 30 days past due.

Method: MapTrack's own product data: 32 customer accounts with service schedules, 5,855 scheduled services (884 past due), snapshot at 26 October 2026. Demo, test and trial-build accounts are left out. Includes schedules MapTrack set up during onboarding; the servicing itself is the customer's. One account holds 53% of the past-due services; without it the share is 16%. Some past-due items may be assets no longer in use that were never archived.

More than 80 days

How late a missed service runs

Across 32 MapTrack customer accounts, a service that was past due on 26 October 2026 was typically more than 80 days overdue.

Method: MapTrack's own product data: 32 customer accounts, 884 past-due services, snapshot at 26 October 2026. Demo, test and trial-build accounts are left out. Includes schedules MapTrack set up during onboarding; the servicing itself is the customer's. Typical means the median: 105 days across all past-due services and 82 days with the largest account left out, so the lower figure is used.

51%

Services driven by hours and kilometres

Across 39 MapTrack customer accounts with service schedules, half of all service triggers (51%) run off engine hours or kilometres rather than the calendar.

Method: MapTrack's own product data: 39 customer accounts with service schedules, 289 service triggers (148 meter based: 118 hours, 30 km), schedules live on 26 October 2026. Demo, test and trial-build accounts and anything MapTrack staff created are left out. Counts trigger rules on live schedules, not services carried out, so the record count is small.

99%

Meter readings typed in by hand

Across 25 MapTrack customer accounts that log hour or kilometre readings, 99% of meter readings in MapTrack were entered by hand, and nearly half of meters (47%) had gone more than 30 days without a new reading on 26 October 2026.

Method: MapTrack's own product data: 25 customer accounts, 43 meters, 24,491 readings, all readings to 26 October 2026. Demo, test and trial-build accounts and anything MapTrack staff created are left out. Counts the readings stored in the MapTrack app only; trips and run hours shown through MapTrack Telematics may not appear here. Only 43 meters, so the 47% is thin, and a quiet meter can be a parked machine.

Get started

How energy and utilities teams get started

Most energy and utilities teams are tracking field equipment within one to two weeks. Start with your most critical assets and expand across substations and field zones.

Step 1

Register field and substation equipment

Import your existing asset database or build from scratch. Add meters, switchgear, calibration tools, vehicles, and PPE.

Step 2

Assign assets to crews (through a crew member or crew vehicle) and substations

Print QR labels and assign equipment to field crews (through a crew member or crew vehicle), substations, or geographic zones for real-time visibility.

Step 3

Schedule inspections and meet compliance requirements

Set recurring inspection schedules, log calibration records, and generate audit-ready compliance reports.

The line tool and protective equipment tests utility rules ask for

    Insulated gloves, testers and other protective equipment are records with their inspection and test dates and certificates, so what's due shows by depot, crew or person.

    LOLER 1998, regulation 9, thorough examination and inspection

    What it asks for

    Lifting equipment exposed to conditions that cause deterioration is thoroughly examined at least every 6 months if it lifts people or is a lifting accessory, and at least every 12 months otherwise, or to an examination scheme, plus after anything exceptional. A competent person inspects it between examinations where that suits, and equipment going to another business carries evidence of its last thorough examination.

    How MapTrack keeps the record

    Elevating work platforms and other lifting equipment carry their thorough examination dates and reports, with gear that lifts people on a 6 month schedule.

LOLER thorough examination
A detailed examination of lifting equipment by a competent person: at least every 6 months for gear that lifts people and for lifting accessories, at least every 12 months for other lifting equipment, or to an examination scheme.

MapTrack keeps the records these rules ask you to keep. It does not do the inspection or testing, certify your work or make you compliant, and the current text of each instrument is the authority.

Stop the loss

Equipment loss and compliance gaps are the two biggest controllable costs in energy & utilities asset management

MapTrack gives your team the visibility, accountability and calibration tracking to address both without adding headcount or replacing your existing telematics.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from energy and utilities teams.

Energy and utilities asset management software is a platform that helps energy companies, power distributors, water utilities and network operators track, manage and maintain their tools, test equipment, mobile plant, vehicles and field gear across depots, substations, field crews and regional offices. It replaces spreadsheets, paper compliance registers and disconnected tools with a single source of truth for where assets are, who has them, what their compliance and calibration status is, and when they're due for service. MapTrack combines asset tracking (QR codes, barcodes, GPS and OEM telematics), pre-start and inspection forms, calibration and compliance registers, maintenance scheduling and work orders, and reporting, all on mobile in the field.

Yes. MapTrack integrates with a wide range of OEM platforms and telematics providers used in energy and utilities, including Teletrac Navman, Geotab, Caterpillar, John Deere and HCSS, plus others. Integrations bring engine hours, odometer readings, GPS location and fault codes directly into MapTrack, driving maintenance triggers and utilisation visibility without manual data entry. This is particularly valuable for fleet vehicles, generators and mobile plant that move across depots and field locations. See the integrations page for the full list.

Yes. MapTrack supports mixed asset types in a single platform. Use QR or barcode labels for hand tools, power tools, test equipment, meters and smaller field gear. Use GPS tracking or OEM telematics data for mobile plant, generators, vehicles and fleet where devices or integrations are in place. All asset types - regardless of how they're tracked. Live in the same system alongside their compliance registers, calibration history, maintenance records and assignments.

MapTrack tracks calibration certificates and due dates against each asset record. You can set calibration intervals, attach calibration certificates and evidence, and receive alerts when equipment is approaching or overdue for recalibration. This is critical for test and measurement equipment used by field crews in energy and utilities - multimeters, insulation testers, earth testers, gas detectors and similar instruments that must be within calibration to be used safely and legally.

MapTrack's primary database and application hosting are in Sydney. Some supporting services may process data outside Australia, so energy and utilities operators should review the current subprocessor list and hosting documentation against their requirements in each jurisdiction. RBAC and SSO support enterprise access management across your organisation.

Yes. MapTrack is built for field use with offline support. Field crews can scan assets, complete pre-start forms, update work orders and record meter readings in areas with no connectivity. Data syncs automatically when the device comes back online. This is critical for energy and utilities operations where crews work at remote substations, on overhead lines, at pump stations or in underground infrastructure where cellular coverage is limited or absent.

Yes. MapTrack supports role-based access control (RBAC) so you can scope what each user or team can see and do by region, depot, asset class or function. Single sign-on (SSO) is supported for enterprise deployment, integrating with your existing identity provider. This is important for energy and utilities organisations with large, distributed teams where you need consistent access controls across the business.

MapTrack gives you a single asset register with multi-site and multi-region visibility. Assets can be assigned to depots, regions, crews (through a crew member or crew vehicle) or projects (as project sites). RBAC scopes each user's view so regional teams see their assets while leadership sees the full picture. Reports and audits run by site, region or asset class. Transfers between depots are tracked with timestamps and approvals so accountability is always clear - even when assets move between regions.

MapTrack uses per-asset pricing with unlimited users included. Not per-seat licensing. You can give access to every field worker, supervisor, fleet coordinator, depot manager and admin without your costs growing as the team does. This is a significant advantage in energy and utilities where crew sizes vary, contractors supplement permanent staff, and you may need hundreds of people to be able to complete forms or scans. Pricing scales with the number of assets you track, not the size of your team.

Most energy and utilities teams are running on MapTrack within one to two weeks. The typical approach is to start with one depot or one asset class: import or scan in assets, set up your first workflows (usually pre-starts or calibration registers), and roll out to field crews. MapTrack's onboarding team supports you through setup and training at no additional cost. For larger rollouts across multiple regions, a phased approach works well: get adoption solid on one workflow, then expand to more asset types and regions.

Pick for the gear your crews handle every day as well as the sites they inspect. MapTrack keeps testers, earthing sets, live-line tools, vehicles and plant on one register with test dates, certificates, pre starts and servicing, and runs scheduled inspections of substations and switchboards as forms on the phone, saved against each site. If network assets sit in an enterprise asset system, MapTrack can run beside it for the field gear.

Give each item its own record with its last and next test date and the certificate attached. The schedule shows what's due before it lapses, the assigned person gets an email a week before each one falls due, and anything overdue is flagged when someone books it out. When the set comes back, test the whole lot in one job with a pass or fail against every item.
