Asset tracking software for infrastructure helps major-programme teams track plant, registered equipment and packages across tier 2 and tier 3 contractors from one register. MapTrack combines QR scanning, GPS and OEM telematics with RBAC so each contractor sees only their assets, offline mobile pre-starts for tunnels and underground works, and condition data from telematics fault codes. Infrastructure teams use it to keep AS/NZS network and registered-plant evidence per asset for the principal contractor, prevent equipment failures mid-package, and share one plant register across packages.

Key takeaways

  • FMI and PlanGrid’s Construction Disconnected study found construction professionals lose more than 14 hours a week to non-productive work, 5.5 of them chasing project information.
  • Multi-package programmes need RBAC so each tier 2 or tier 3 contractor sees only their assets, with a clear chain of custody across transfers.
  • AS/NZS network standards (AS 4799 stormwater, AS 3500 plumbing) and registered plant inspection cycles must produce per-asset evidence for the principal contractor.
  • Tunnel and underground works fall outside cellular coverage; offline mobile capture for pre-starts and meter readings is non-negotiable.
  • Telemetry from telematics devices can detect deteriorating asset condition (engine fault codes, hour spikes) before scheduled service intervals miss the failure.
  • Plant is shared across packages; one register records what is allocated where, which supports redeployment decisions.

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.

Asset tracking for infrastructure project contractors

On an infrastructure project, plant and equipment come from the principal contractor, subcontractors and hire companies, and the pre starts and inspection records need to sit with each machine. In MapTrack plant, vehicles and trailers sit on one register, each with its status, who or which project has it, and its QR label. Operators do the pre start on their phone, services fall due on the hours, and where there's a tracker the latest GPS position sits on the same record. Roles set who can view, edit and sign gear out.

How to choose asset tracking software for infrastructure projects

Look for:

  1. Owned and hired plant on one register, with who or which project has it
  2. Pre starts and inspection records kept with each machine
  3. Register, maintenance and tracking in one system
  4. Roles that set who can view, edit and sign gear out
  5. Form PDFs to hand the principal contractor

Where MapTrack fits

Next to an EAM or ERP

If fixed plant, work planning and finance sit in an EAM or ERP, MapTrack can run beside it for the tools, equipment and vehicles that move between sites and crews. Its public API passes records between the two.

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 infrastructure project assets

Infrastructure assets don't sit still. They move between project packages, depots and laydown areas, wear out based on hours not dates, require documented compliance for principal contractors, and their downtime can cascade across multi-year programme schedules.

Assets move between project packages with no single view

Plant, tooling and fleet shift between packages, stages and sites across a programme. Each package runs its own spreadsheet. Nobody has a single source of truth for where assets are or who's responsible.

Multi-contractor environments make accountability hard

When multiple tier 2 and tier 3 subcontractors share equipment on the same programme, assets get borrowed, transferred and misplaced. Without a clear chain of custody, losses get written off and blame is impossible to assign.

Compliance evidence needs to be attached per asset

Pre-starts, design registrations, lifting certifications and inspection records must be linked to specific assets and producible on demand for the principal contractor or client. Paper folders and shared drives don't cut it.

Plant servicing runs on hours. Not the calendar

Excavators, loaders and piling rigs need servicing based on engine hours and runtime. Not arbitrary monthly reminders. Missing service intervals leads to unplanned breakdowns that cascade across the project schedule.

Double-booking across concurrent projects

Critical plant and specialist equipment gets allocated to multiple packages at the same time. Without a reservation system tied to real availability, crews arrive on site to find the gear they need is on another project entirely.

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.

37%

Check-outs that come back late

Across 37 MapTrack customer accounts over the 12 months to October 2026, 37% of check-outs with a due-back date came back late or were still out past it. One in five (21%) was more than a day late.

Method: MapTrack's own product data: 37 customer accounts, 6,794 check-outs with a due-back date (2,507 late), 12 months to 26 October 2026. Demo, test and trial-build accounts and anything MapTrack staff created are left out. Late means back more than an hour after the due-back time, or still out past it. Return times for a straight return are approximate. One account holds 54% of these check-outs; without it the late share is higher (45%).

73%

Gear that has been out for months

Across 63 MapTrack customer accounts, 73% of the items checked out on 26 October 2026 had been out for more than 90 days, and 16% for more than a year.

Method: MapTrack's own product data: 63 customer accounts, 19,211 items checked out, snapshot at 26 October 2026. Demo, test and trial-build accounts and anything MapTrack staff created are left out. Includes deliberate long-term allocations, such as a van given to a driver or a laptop given to a staff member, so this is time out, not proof that items are lost.

More than 60%

Location saved at check-out

Across 62 MapTrack customer accounts over the 12 months to October 2026, more than 60% of check-outs saved the location where the item was handed over, taken from the person's device.

Method: MapTrack's own product data: 62 customer accounts, 24,544 check-outs, 12 months to 26 October 2026. Demo, test and trial-build accounts and anything MapTrack staff created are left out. About three quarters (76%) saved a location of any kind, from the device or picked by hand.

Use cases

How infrastructure contractors use MapTrack

Register, maintenance and tracking in one system

Plant, vehicles and trailers sit on one register, each with its status, who or which project has it, and its QR tag. Services, pre-starts and, where there's a tracker, the latest GPS position sit on the same record.

Asset register
MapTrack Assets table filtered to heavy plant and vehicles, showing 17 assets. Each row has a photo, the category path, a status of Available, Repair or Deployed, the person or location the asset is with, its QR tag ID and its make.

How infrastructure teams roll out MapTrack

Most infrastructure teams are tracking plant and equipment across sites within days. Start with your existing register and expand to each package as you go.

Step 1

Register your plant, fleet, and survey equipment

Import your existing asset register or start from scratch. Add heavy plant, traffic management equipment, survey gear, and site vehicles.

Step 2

Assign assets to sites and project managers

Print heavy-duty QR labels and assign equipment to project sites, zones, or contracts (as contract sites) with geographic visibility.

Step 3

Track utilisation, schedule maintenance, meet reporting requirements

Monitor plant hours and utilisation, schedule preventive maintenance, and produce asset reports for project managers and clients.

    Work at Height Regulations 2005, regulation 12, inspection of work equipment

    What it asks for

    Equipment that deteriorates is inspected at suitable intervals and after anything exceptional. A construction working platform someone could fall 2 metres or more from is inspected in position within the previous 7 days, and the inspector's report reaches the person it was done for within 24 hours. Results are kept until the next inspection, and reports stay on site until the work is finished, then at an office for 3 months.

    How MapTrack keeps the record

    Each scaffold and platform is a record at its site. The 7-day inspection is a form with the inspector's signature, saved as a PDF on that record, and anything past 7 days shows as overdue.

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 unplanned downtime are the two biggest controllable costs in infrastructure asset management

MapTrack gives your project team the visibility, accountability and maintenance triggers to cut both without adding headcount or replacing your existing telematics.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from infrastructure project teams.

Infrastructure asset management software is a platform that helps project teams, tier 1–3 contractors and asset owners track, manage and maintain tools, plant, equipment and vehicles across large-scale infrastructure programmes. It replaces spreadsheets, paper compliance folders and disconnected point solutions with a single source of truth for where assets are, who has them, what their compliance 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, maintenance scheduling and work orders, and reporting, all on mobile in the field.

Yes. MapTrack is built for multi-contractor environments where multiple packages, subcontractors and project teams share and transfer assets. Role-based access control (RBAC) lets you restrict visibility by package, contractor or project role. Assets can be assigned and transferred between parties with a clear chain of custody, so accountability is always documented even when dozens of contractors operate across the same programme.

Yes. MapTrack supports mixed asset types in a single platform. Use QR or barcode labels for hand tools, power tools, formwork and smaller equipment. Use GPS tracking or OEM telematics data for heavy plant, earthmoving equipment 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 records, maintenance history and assignments.

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 remote infrastructure corridors, tunnel environments and greenfield sites where cellular coverage is limited or absent.

Yes. Meter-based maintenance triggers (runtime hours, engine hours, odometer) drive work orders in MapTrack. Where you have OEM or telematics integrations (Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, John Deere, JCB, Teletrac Navman, Geotab and others), meter data feeds in automatically so you're servicing based on real usage. Not just the calendar. Manual meter readings are also supported where telematics is not present.

MapTrack helps infrastructure teams meet WHS and principal contractor compliance obligations by keeping pre-start records, inspection certificates and maintenance evidence attached to each asset. This includes daily plant pre-starts required under WHS Regulations, design registration and inspection requirements for registered plant, lifting equipment and pressure vessel certifications, and project-specific compliance registers required by the principal contractor or client. All evidence is searchable and exportable for audits. Failed pre-start items can automatically trigger work orders so defects are tracked from identification through to rectification.

Yes. MapTrack supports role-based access control and single sign-on for enterprise and large project deployments. RBAC lets you scope visibility by package, site, contractor or project role, so each team only sees the assets relevant to them. SSO integration simplifies onboarding across large workforces. Combined with unlimited user licensing, you can give access to every worker, supervisor and project manager without per-seat cost growth.

Use bulk scanning (QR or barcode) to verify what's on a specific project site or allocated to a package (through its project site). MapTrack records each asset scanned, when it was scanned and who scanned it. You can compare scanned results to expected asset lists and immediately see what's missing, unscanned or unaccounted for. Reports by project, package or asset class give you audit-ready evidence. Stocktakes that used to take a full shift with clipboards now take a fraction of the time on mobile.

MapTrack uses per-asset pricing with unlimited users included. Not per-seat licensing. You can give access to every field worker, supervisor, operator, site engineer and project manager without your costs growing as the team does. This is a significant advantage on infrastructure projects where crew sizes vary, subcontractors rotate through packages, 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 workforce.

Most infrastructure teams are running on MapTrack within one to two weeks. The typical approach is to start with one asset class or one project package: import or scan in assets, set up your first workflows (usually pre-starts or audits), 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 packages or programmes, a phased approach works well: get adoption solid on one workflow, then expand to more asset types and packages.

Put every machine on the project register, whoever owns it, and label it. Each operator does the pre start on their phone against that machine, and the completed form saves to its record with any fault photo and the fix beside it. A completed form downloads as a PDF for the principal contractor, and hired plant can be archived when it goes back.

A register that holds owned and hired plant together, pre starts and inspections on the phone that save to each machine, servicing on the hours, the latest GPS position where there's a tracker, and roles that control who can view, edit and sign gear out. MapTrack covers those with per-asset pricing and unlimited users.
