Frequently asked questions

Common questions from plumbing contractors and trade teams.

Can we track tools by van or by technician?

Yes. MapTrack lets you assign assets to individual technicians, vans or jobs. You can see exactly what's loaded on each van, what a technician has checked out and what's sitting at the depot. Reports and filters make it easy to answer 'who has the B-press kit?' or 'what tools are on Van 7?' without ringing around the team.

How does MapTrack handle high-value specialist equipment like jetters and cameras?

Specialist plumbing equipment - sewer jetters, CCTV drain cameras, pipe locators, pressure testers and can be tracked with QR labels and assigned to technicians or jobs with check-in and check-out on mobile. You get a full chain of custody, service history and compliance records attached to each asset. GPS tracking is also available for high-value items where a device is fitted, so you always know where your most expensive gear is.

Can we use MapTrack for test and tag and compliance registers?

Yes. Pre-start forms, inspection checklists and compliance certificates attach directly to each asset record. You can track test and tag dates, RCD testing, fire extinguisher checks and any other compliance requirement. MapTrack stores evidence (photos, documents, signatures) against the asset, so when an auditor asks for proof, you pull it up on the spot. No digging through filing cabinets or spreadsheets.

Does MapTrack work offline on job sites?

MapTrack is built for field use with offline support. Technicians can scan QR codes, complete pre-start forms, check tools in and out, and update work orders in basements, ceiling spaces or remote sites with no mobile signal. Data syncs automatically when the device comes back online. This is critical for plumbing work where connectivity is often limited inside buildings or below ground.

Can we track calibration dates for pressure testers and gas detectors?

Yes. MapTrack supports calibration tracking with due dates and alerts. You can record calibration certificates against each asset, set recurring calibration intervals and receive notifications before equipment falls out of calibration. This is especially important for pressure testing equipment, gas detectors and leak detection gear used in plumbing where out-of-calibration equipment can lead to compliance failures or safety incidents.

How does pricing work for plumbing 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 plumbing contractors where you may have dozens of technicians in the field who all need to scan tools, complete pre-starts or log jobs. Pricing scales with the number of assets you track, not the number of people on your team.

How do we run van audits or depot stocktakes?

Use bulk scanning (QR or barcode) to verify what's loaded on a van or stored at the depot. MapTrack records each asset scanned, when it was scanned and who scanned it. You can compare scanned results to expected tool lists per van and immediately see what's missing, misplaced or overdue for service. Van audits that used to require a clipboard and half a morning now take minutes on a phone.

Can MapTrack handle pre-starts for vans and vehicles?

Yes. You can build and run vehicle pre-start checklists for vans, utes and any other fleet vehicles on mobile. Drivers scan a QR code on the vehicle, complete the checklist with photos where needed, and the record attaches to the vehicle with a timestamp. Failed items can automatically trigger work orders so defects are addressed before the van goes back on the road. All pre-start records are searchable and exportable for compliance audits.

How quickly can a plumbing business get set up on MapTrack?

Most plumbing contractors are running on MapTrack within one to two weeks. The typical approach is to start with one asset class, such as specialist equipment or your van fleet : import or scan in assets, set up your first workflows (usually tool tracking or pre-starts), and roll out to technicians. MapTrack's onboarding team supports you through setup and training at no additional cost. You can then expand to more asset types, depots and workflows as adoption builds.

Can we track consumables and inventory alongside tools?

Yes. MapTrack supports inventory and consumable tracking alongside your tools and equipment. You can track stock levels of fittings, chemicals, sealants and other consumables by depot or van. While inventory tracking works differently to fixed asset tracking (quantities rather than individual serial numbers), it all lives in the same platform so your team has one system for everything they need to manage.
