What we track

Commercial assets that need more than a pin on a map

Keep powered plant, unpowered equipment, vehicles, attachments and tools in one register. Confirm the suitable identification or location method for each class. Confirm the device, provider, delivered location or telemetry fields and rollout scope.

Excavators, loaders, rollers and graders
Trucks, utes, vans and service vehicles
Trailers, containers and mobile storage
Generators, pumps, compressors and light towers
Attachments, buckets, rippers and tilt hitches
High-value tools and portable equipment
Driver and operator records
Remote assets requiring confirmed location delivery

The challenge

Most GPS tools stop at location. Jobsite teams need operations

A GPS portal may show location while the asset register, inspections and servicing remain elsewhere. Confirm how the intended provider and fields will support the operating workflow before rollout.

Location data is trapped in a standalone GPS portal

The current app can show the latest GPS fix when a device feed is configured, alongside the asset's operational records. Confirm the device, provider, delivered location or telemetry fields and rollout scope.

Site utilisation is guessed from calls and dockets

MapTrack Telematics can provide geofences and trip history when separately scoped. Confirm the required time-on-site and utilisation report before replacing calls, dockets or spreadsheets.

Maintenance is not triggered by real usage

Meter readings can be entered manually for usage-based service planning. Choose and test the schedule trigger and manual, per-asset automatic or batch generation mode. A failed submission doesn’t create follow-up work by default. Configure and test any task or work-order automation before rollout.

Cost allocation needs defined evidence

Define the required location, assignment, time-on-site and entered cost evidence, then confirm the report or integration before relying on project allocation.

One platform

Industrial GPS, jobsite workflows and asset operations together

Keep the supported asset, inspection and maintenance records together, then confirm the provider, hardware, fields and delivery for the location layer.

Industrial GPS hardware

Choose hardware only after confirming asset fit, provider delivery, data fields and current commercial terms. Confirm the device, provider, delivered location or telemetry fields and rollout scope.
