What we track

Every asset type across your HVAC operation

MapTrack is built for the full mix of assets that move across your technician vans, depots, job sites and warehouses - from hand tools to specialist refrigerant handling equipment and fleet vehicles.

  • Refrigerant recovery & charging equipment
  • Vacuum pumps & manifold gauges
  • Power tools (drills, saws, hole cutters)
  • Ladders & access equipment
  • Vans & light fleet
  • Leak detectors & gas analysers
  • Duct tools & sheet metal equipment
  • Test and balance instruments
  • Thermal imaging cameras
  • Hand tools & tool kits
  • Generators & site power
  • Refrigerants & consumables

The challenge

The costs of poorly managed HVAC tools and equipment

HVAC tools and equipment don’t sit in one place. They move between technician vans, job sites and the depot every day. Specialist gear needs calibration, compliance must be documented, and missing tools cost money and delay jobs.

Specialist refrigerant equipment moves between jobs untracked

Recovery units, vacuum pumps and manifold gauges get loaded into whichever van is heading to the next job. Without a clear chain of custody you lose track of high-value specialist gear, and re-purchase when it can’t be found.

Compliance and refrigerant handling certifications aren’t attached to assets

Calibration certificates, refrigerant handling licences and inspection records live in filing cabinets or scattered folders. When a client or auditor asks for evidence, you’re scrambling to locate it instead of producing it instantly.

Tools go missing between vans and depots

Drills, saws, hole cutters and hand tools move between technician vans, job sites and the depot. Nobody signs them in or out. By the time you notice something's missing, there’s no trail to follow and the replacement bill stacks up.

No visibility on what’s with each technician or van

The office doesn’t know what tools and equipment each technician has on their van. When a specific piece of kit is needed for a job, you ring around or drive to the depot to check - wasting time every day.

Service due dates missed on recovery units and pumps

Vacuum pumps, recovery units and leak detectors need regular servicing and calibration. Calendar reminders get missed, and equipment that’s overdue for service goes out on jobs - risking inaccurate readings, failed work and non-compliance.

By the numbers

The real cost of untracked HVAC equipment

HVAC contractors face significant losses from untracked tools, compliance lapses, and time spent searching for equipment. The numbers make a clear case for digital tracking.

Accountability

Know what’s in every van and on every job

QR code every tool and piece of specialist equipment. Assign assets to technicians, vans or jobs. Technicians scan to check gear in and out from the field. The office sees who has what in real time. No more ringing around to find a recovery unit or thermal camera.

  • Check-in and check-out on mobile from the van or depot
  • Bulk scanning for van audits and depot stocktakes
  • Assign to technicians, vans or specific jobs
  • GPS location for fleet vehicles where fitted
  • Geofence alerts when vans leave a site boundary
Asset tracking

Maintenance

Keep recovery units, pumps and vans serviced and ready

Schedule preventive maintenance on specialist equipment, power tools and fleet vehicles. Trigger work orders from calendar intervals, usage or failed inspections. Every service record lives alongside the asset's tracking and compliance history - so nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Calendar and usage-based service triggers
  • Odometer-based servicing for vans and fleet
  • Work orders assigned to technicians on mobile
  • Parts history and cost tracking per asset
  • Overdue alerts so servicing stays current

Get started

How HVAC contractors get started

Most HVAC teams are tracking tools and equipment within days. Start with your existing tool register, label everything, and build accountability from the first job.

Step 1

Register your tools and refrigerant equipment

Import your existing tool register or build from scratch. Add manifold gauges, recovery units, nitrogen kits, leak detectors, and service vehicles.

Step 2

Label equipment and assign to technicians or vans

Print durable QR labels and link assets to individual technicians or service vehicles. Every item has a clear owner.

Step 3

Schedule calibration, track service history, stay compliant

Set reminders for gauge calibration and equipment service. Log refrigerant handling records and produce inspection reports on demand.

Tool loss and missed compliance are the two biggest controllable costs for HVAC contractors

MapTrack gives your team the visibility, accountability and compliance tracking to cut both without adding admin overhead or replacing your existing fleet GPS.

What is HVAC asset tracking software?
HVAC asset tracking software is a platform that helps HVAC contractors, refrigeration mechanics and air conditioning service businesses track, manage and maintain their tools, specialist equipment and vehicles across installation and service jobs. It replaces spreadsheets, paper compliance folders and disconnected tools with a single source of truth for where assets are, who has them, what certifications are attached and when they’re due for service or calibration. MapTrack combines asset tracking (QR codes, barcodes and GPS for fleet), pre-start and inspection forms, maintenance scheduling and work orders, and calibration tracking, all on mobile in the field.
Can MapTrack track refrigerant handling compliance and certifications?
Yes. MapTrack lets you attach compliance certificates, refrigerant handling licences and calibration records directly to each asset. Pre-start forms and inspections completed in the field attach to the asset record with timestamps and photos. You can set expiry reminders on certificates so nothing lapses without notice. All evidence is searchable and exportable for audits, whether that’s an internal review, a client audit or a regulatory check on your refrigerant handling procedures.
How do we track recovery units and specialist refrigerant equipment?
Assign QR labels to each recovery unit, vacuum pump, manifold gauge set and leak detector. Technicians scan to check equipment in and out from the depot or van. MapTrack records the full chain of custody - who has it, where it went and when it was returned. Pair this with calibration tracking and maintenance schedules so your specialist gear is always in-date, serviced and ready for the next job.
Can we track what’s in each technician's van?
Yes. Assign assets to specific vans, technicians or jobs. Filter and report by van to see exactly what tools and equipment each technician is carrying. Run bulk QR scans to verify van loadouts at the depot. When a technician transfers a tool to another van or returns it, the system records the movement with a timestamp, so you always know where everything is.
Does MapTrack work offline on job sites?
MapTrack is built for field use with offline support. Technicians can scan assets, complete pre-start forms, update work orders and log service records in areas with poor connectivity - roof spaces, plant rooms, basements and remote sites. Data syncs automatically when the device comes back online. No work is lost.
How does calibration tracking work for gauges and instruments?
Set calibration due dates on manifold gauges, leak detectors, gas analysers, thermal imaging cameras and test instruments. MapTrack sends reminders before calibration expires. Attach calibration certificates from your provider directly to the asset record. Reports show which instruments are in-date, which are due and which have lapsed, so you never send a technician to a job with out-of-calibration equipment.
Can we run depot or van audits quickly?
Use bulk scanning (QR or barcode) to verify what’s in a van or at the depot. 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 overdue for service. Audits that used to take hours with clipboards now take minutes on mobile.
How does MapTrack pricing work for HVAC teams?
MapTrack uses per-asset pricing with unlimited users included. Not per-seat licensing. You can give access to every technician, apprentice, service coordinator and admin without your costs growing as the team does. This matters for HVAC businesses where technicians need mobile access for scanning and forms, and office staff need visibility and reporting. Pricing scales with the number of assets you track, not the size of your team.
Can we track service and maintenance on vans and fleet vehicles?
Yes. Vans and light fleet sit alongside tools and equipment in MapTrack. Schedule servicing based on odometer or calendar intervals. Run pre-start vehicle inspections on mobile. Track registration, insurance and roadworthy expiry dates with reminders. Where you have GPS or telematics (Teletrac Navman, Geotab), odometer data feeds in automatically to drive service triggers.
How long does it take to get an HVAC team set up on MapTrack?
Most HVAC teams are running on MapTrack within one to two weeks. The typical approach is to start with one depot or your high-value specialist equipment : import or scan in assets, set up your first workflows (usually van audits or compliance tracking), and roll out to technicians. MapTrack’s onboarding team supports you through setup and training at no additional cost. For larger operations with multiple branches, a phased rollout works well.
