Transport & logistics asset tracking software
Track trucks, trailers, dollies, swap bodies and depot tools across every yard and corridor. NHVR-aligned pre-starts, Chain of Responsibility evidence and meter-based servicing in one platform built for Australian 3PLs and freight operators.

The challenge
The real costs of poorly managed transport assets
Transport assets do not sit still. Trucks roll over thousands of kilometres each week, trailers get swapped between depots, sub-contractors rotate through, and every kilometre is a Chain of Responsibility exposure if your records do not stack up.
Chain of Responsibility exposure when records have gaps
Prime contractors, schedulers, loaders and consignors all carry CoR duties under the Heavy Vehicle National Law. Missing pre-starts, undated defect notes and lost driver logbooks turn a routine NHVR audit into a serious finding. Spreadsheets and paper folders cannot prove due diligence.
Pre-start failures slip through to the road
When pre-trip inspections live on paper, a missed brake fault or oil leak does not surface until the truck is already out on a run. Failed items get logged and forgotten with no work order ever raised. Then the same defect causes a roadside inspection failure or worse.
Servicing runs on calendars, not kilometres or hours
Prime movers, trailers, forklifts and yard hostlers wear based on kilometres and engine hours, not arbitrary monthly reminders. Missing service intervals causes unplanned breakdowns, expensive emergency repairs and trucks sitting idle when they should be on a customer run.
Depot visibility fragmented across yards and contracts
Trailers, dollies, cages and swap bodies move between depots, customers and sub-contractors with no single view. Each depot supervisor runs their own spreadsheet. By the time leadership notices a missing trailer, it has been gone for a week.
Equipment loss and depot theft eat the margin
Pallet jacks, dock equipment, scanners, hand tools and PPE walk out of depots every quarter. Without a clear chain of custody or end-of-shift audit, the loss is written off and re-purchased. This pattern repeats every cycle and quietly compounds across a national network.
By the numbers
The real cost of poor asset management in transport
Transport and logistics runs on tight margins, demanding compliance and 24/7 vehicle availability. Equipment failures and audit gaps carry an outsized financial and regulatory cost. The numbers make a clear case for digital asset management.

MapTrack customer data
One platform
Tracking, compliance and maintenance in one system
Stop juggling fleet spreadsheets, paper logbooks and standalone pre-start apps. MapTrack connects asset tracking, NHVR-aligned pre-starts and meter-based maintenance into a single platform built for drivers, depot supervisors and workshop teams.
Accountability & tracking
Assign trucks, trailers and depot tools to drivers, sub-contractors or customer contracts. Bulk QR and GPS scans for end-of-shift yard audits. Know what is at which depot, what is in transit and who had it last.
Explore accountability & trackingPre-starts & CoR evidence
Driver pre-trips, daily walk-arounds and trailer checks completed on mobile. Failed items auto-raise work orders. Every inspection, defect and repair attached to the asset as audit-ready Chain of Responsibility evidence.
Explore pre-starts & cor evidenceMaintenance by kilometres & hours
Service triggers from odometer, engine hours and runtime, not arbitrary monthly reminders. Geotab, Teletrac Navman and OEM telematics feed in automatically where fitted. Trucks serviced when they need it, not when they fail.
Explore maintenance by kilometres & hoursPre-starts
Mobile pre-trips for every driver, every shift
Driver pre-trips, daily inspections and trailer walk-arounds completed in the MapTrack app on any phone. Failed items automatically raise a work order with a photo, location and the driver name attached. Compliance evidence is captured at the point of work, not back-filled the following week.
- NHVR-aligned heavy vehicle and trailer checklists
- Failed items automatically trigger work orders to the workshop
- Photos, GPS location and timestamps captured on every check
- Works offline in regional corridors and syncs when back on signal
- Build forms with AI or upload your existing pre-start templates
Accountability
Scan, assign and audit from the depot
QR code every trailer, dolly, swap body and depot tool. GPS or telematics for prime movers and yard hostlers. Bulk scan trailers at end of shift, assign assets to drivers or sub-contractors, and run audits against expected on-site lists in minutes, not hours.
- Check-in and check-out trailers and dollies on mobile
- Bulk scanning for end-of-shift yard audits and stocktakes
- Assign assets to drivers, sub-contractors or customer contracts
- GPS location for trucks and yard hostlers where fitted
- Geofence alerts when trailers leave depot or cross a boundary
Maintenance
Service trucks when kilometres and hours say so
Trigger work orders from odometer, engine hours and runtime, not arbitrary monthly reminders. Geotab, Teletrac Navman and OEM telematics data feeds in automatically where integrated. Every service record lives alongside the asset tracking and compliance history, ready for the next NHVR audit or customer review.
- Meter-based triggers: kilometres, engine hours, runtime
- OEM and telematics data feeds in automatically where fitted
- Work orders dispatched to workshop techs on mobile
- Complete parts, labour and cost tracking by asset
- Overdue alerts to prevent unplanned road failures
"We used to chase paper pre-starts at the end of every week and still find gaps when an NHVR auditor turned up. With MapTrack the inspections happen in the app, the failed items raise work orders straight away, and the evidence is sitting against each truck the moment we need it."

Integrations
Telematics and OEM data, in one place
MapTrack integrates with the telematics platforms and OEM systems Australian transport operators already run, so kilometres, engine hours and GPS location drive maintenance and utilisation automatically without manual data entry.
- Odometer and engine hour tracking for timely preventive maintenance
- Live GPS location and geofence alerts for trucks, trailers and yard hostlers
- Fault and diagnostic data where supported by your integration
- Geofence-based time-on-site for customer billing and depot KPIs
Field-ready
Built for drivers, depots and the workshop
Transport operations happen in cabs and yards, not the office. MapTrack runs on any phone or tablet with no specialist hardware required. Drivers complete pre-trips, raise defects and update meter readings directly from the cab.
Offline mode means line-haul drivers can keep working in regional corridors with no signal, and data syncs automatically when back on coverage. Unlimited users means every driver, sub-contractor, depot supervisor and workshop tech has access without per-seat fees.

Get started
How transport teams get started
Most 3PL and freight operators have their fleet imported, tagged and pre-starting in MapTrack within days. Start with prime movers and trailers, then expand to dollies, depot tools and yard equipment.
Import your fleet and trailer register
Upload your existing fleet list or start with a single sub-fleet. Connect Geotab, Teletrac Navman or your OEM telematics so kilometres and engine hours feed in automatically.
Tag depot equipment and assign by yard
Print durable QR labels for trailers, dollies, swap bodies, cages and depot tools. Organise by depot, region or customer contract so each supervisor sees only what they are responsible for.
Roll out pre-trips, schedule services, prove compliance
Drivers complete pre-trip inspections on mobile from day one. Set kilometre and engine hour triggers for servicing. Compliance evidence captured automatically against each vehicle and trailer for CoR, NHVR and customer audits.
Compliance gaps and unplanned downtime are the two biggest controllable costs in transport asset management
MapTrack gives your team the visibility, accountability and maintenance triggers to cut both without adding headcount or replacing your existing telematics.
