What we track

Commercial assets that need more than a pin on a map

MapTrack supports the mixed reality of jobsites: powered plant, unpowered assets, vehicles, operators, attachments and smaller equipment all tracked with the method that fits.

  • 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 BLE cards
  • Remote, offshore and satellite-tracked assets

The challenge

Most GPS tools stop at location. Jobsite teams need operations

A GPS portal can show dots on a map, but plant managers, maintenance teams and project teams need the data to flow into utilisation, costing, inspections and servicing. Otherwise the map becomes another disconnected system to reconcile.

Location data is trapped in a standalone GPS portal

GPS tells you where the excavator is, but the asset register, pre-start history, rate card and service schedule live somewhere else. MapTrack keeps location, compliance, maintenance and costing on the same asset record.

Site utilisation is guessed from calls and dockets

Without geofence time-on-site and movement history, teams rely on phone calls, hire dockets and whiteboards to work out whether equipment is being used. GPS should show which assets are active, idle or sitting on the wrong project.

Maintenance is not triggered by real usage

Calendar servicing misses the way plant actually works. A busy machine needs service by hours or kilometres, while idle plant should not be over-serviced. MapTrack connects runtime, odometer and pre-start data to work orders.

Rate cards and job costing need clean location evidence

Project costing breaks down when nobody can prove where an asset was used or for how long. Geofences, jobs and rate cards give finance and operations a better basis for utilisation and internal charge-out.

Live location

See plant, fleet and high-value assets across every jobsite

MapTrack gives operations teams a commercial GPS view across plant, machinery, trailers, vehicles and mobile assets. Filter by site, asset class or status, then drill into the asset record for inspections, service history, documents and costs.

  • Live GPS map for fitted assets and telematics-connected machines
  • Battery trackers for trailers, generators and unpowered equipment
  • Hardwired trackers for fleet vehicles and powered plant
  • Satellite options for remote and offshore assets
  • GPS, QR, BLE and OEM data in the same asset register

Geofence utilisation

Turn site movement into utilisation and costing evidence

Create geofences around projects, depots and restricted zones. MapTrack records entry, exit and time-on-site events so managers can understand where equipment is used, where it sits idle and when it moves outside expected boundaries.

  • Site, depot, yard and restricted-area geofences
  • Time-on-site and movement history by asset
  • Unauthorised movement and after-hours alerts
  • Asset utilisation by site, project and class
  • Rate-card and job-costing context on the same asset

Maintenance automation

Raise work orders from runtime, odometer and pre-start data

Commercial GPS becomes much more valuable when it drives maintenance. MapTrack combines GPS, OEM telematics, manual meter capture and pre-start failures to trigger work orders at the right time, with the asset history and location already attached.

  • Engine-hour, odometer and calendar-based service triggers
  • Pre-start defects can create work orders automatically
  • OEM feeds for GPS, hours, fault codes and odometer readings
  • Service history and costs stored against each asset
  • Maintenance due alerts for supervisors and workshops
Meter-based maintenance

“We needed one view of plant, vehicles and equipment across sites - not another GPS portal. MapTrack connects live location with pre-starts, maintenance and compliance, so the asset record tells the whole story.”

Built for commercial operations

A modern GPS stack for organisations with real jobsites

MapTrack is for teams that need more than a vehicle map. Fit industrial trackers where live location matters, use BLE and QR for the long tail of smaller assets, and keep the data connected to the workflows your crews already run.

Operations, plant, maintenance, safety and finance teams can work from the same source of truth. GPS events, inspections, work orders, documents, costs and site activity stay attached to the asset instead of spreading across separate portals.

Deployment plan

How teams roll out commercial GPS with MapTrack

Most teams start with high-value mobile assets, prove the workflow on live sites, then expand into BLE, QR and OEM data for full coverage.

Week 1

Map the asset classes and sites

Identify powered plant, unpowered assets, vehicles, trailers, tools and operators. Decide which need live GPS, which need BLE proximity and which only need QR scan-based tracking.

Week 1-2

Choose hardware and connect OEM feeds

Select battery, hardwired, BLE gateway or satellite trackers from the hardware store. Connect OEM or telematics feeds for machines that already publish GPS, engine hours or odometer readings.

Week 2-3

Create geofences and operational rules

Set up sites, depots, yards and restricted zones. Configure movement alerts, time-on-site reporting, utilisation views and the maintenance thresholds that should create work orders.

Week 3+

Tie GPS into daily workflows

Run pre-starts, meter readings, service triggers, rate-card costing and job reporting from the same asset records, then expand coverage across projects and regions.

Key features for commercial GPS tracking

Everything needed to turn GPS location into jobsite visibility, maintenance control and cost evidence.

GPS that joins the rest of the operation

Stop buying a map that your plant, maintenance and finance teams cannot use

MapTrack connects GPS hardware and OEM data to the workflows around the asset: geofences, pre-starts, work orders, utilisation and job costing.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about commercial GPS tracking for plant, machinery, fleet and jobsites.

Commercial GPS tracking for plant and machinery uses industrial hardware, OEM telematics or Bluetooth gateway data to show where high-value equipment is, how it moves between sites and how it is being used. MapTrack is built for mixed jobsite fleets: excavators, loaders, trucks, trailers, generators, attachments, tools and operators can all sit in one asset register with GPS, BLE, QR and telematics data feeding the same operational workflows.

MapTrack can track powered and unpowered assets including excavators, loaders, graders, rollers, generators, compressors, trailers, utes, trucks, service vehicles, containers and high-value tools. Hardwired trackers suit powered plant and fleet vehicles, battery trackers suit trailers and unpowered equipment, BLE beacons suit smaller assets, and OEM telematics integrations can bring machine data in without replacing existing hardware.

GPS positions and geofence events can show when an asset enters a site, leaves a site and how long it spent there. MapTrack connects that location history to sites, jobs, rate cards and asset records, so operations teams can review utilisation, time-on-site and cost allocation without manually reconciling whiteboards, spreadsheets and hire dockets.

Yes. MapTrack supports maintenance triggers from engine hours, odometer readings, calendar intervals, inspections and condition data. Readings can come from OEM telematics, supported GPS hardware or manual meter capture during pre-starts. When an asset reaches a service threshold, MapTrack can create a work order with the asset, location, service history and required task details attached.

Yes. You can create geofences around depots, project sites, yards and restricted areas. MapTrack uses geofence activity for movement alerts, time-on-site reporting, site utilisation and exception review. Teams use this to spot unauthorised movement, prove where equipment was, and understand which sites are using which machines.

Bluetooth Low Energy cards and beacons extend GPS beyond a single mounted tracker. A GPS gateway device can detect nearby BLE tags, so operators, tools, attachments or smaller equipment can be associated with the machine or vehicle moving through a site. This creates a practical bridge between live GPS for major assets and lower-cost proximity tracking for the rest of the jobsite.

Yes. The MapTrack hardware store lists GPS trackers, Bluetooth beacons, QR labels and compatible data plans. Battery-powered trackers, hardwired fleet trackers, BLE gateway devices and satellite options are available for different deployment needs. Bulk and complex deployments can be quoted by the MapTrack team, but buyers can still review hardware and data-plan pricing before speaking to sales.

Most fleet GPS portals focus on vehicles on a map. MapTrack is built for the wider jobsite operation: plant, vehicles, trailers, tools, pre-starts, maintenance, cost tracking, rate cards, geofences, OEM data and QR/BLE tracking all connect to the same asset record. That makes it better suited to organisations managing plant, machinery and commercial assets across active worksites.
