What are meter-based triggers?

MapTrack can create work orders based on meter readings, e.g. hours run or odometer. When you have OEM or telematics data (via integrations), you set thresholds (e.g. service every 250 hours) and work orders generate when the threshold is reached. Servicing is driven by actual usage, not guesswork.

Can pre-starts or inspections trigger maintenance?

Yes. Failed pre-start or inspection items can trigger work orders so equipment doesn't go out until it's serviced or cleared. You close the loop between field checks and maintenance.

Do we need a separate CMMS?

MapTrack includes work orders, preventive maintenance and meter-based triggers. CMMS-style capability in the same platform as tracking and compliance. For mobile equipment that moves across sites, one system often works better than a separate CMMS. Explore the full CMMS and maintenance software capabilities, or see how operations teams use MapTrack as a complete equipment maintenance solution. For fixed-asset-only maintenance, a dedicated CMMS may still suit; book a demo to discuss.

The problem

Equipment maintenance is often reactive or calendar-based. Not tied to real usage. When work orders live in a separate system from the asset register, you lose context (who has it, where it is, last inspection). Servicing gets missed or duplicated, and downtime spikes.

How MapTrack addresses it

MapTrack brings maintenance into the same platform as tracking and compliance. Create work orders from meter-based triggers (hours, ODO) where you have OEM or telematics data; trigger from failed pre-starts or inspections; or schedule from calendar. Work orders sit on the asset so you see full history. Technicians can update from mobile. You get usage-driven maintenance, one place for asset and service history, and fewer gaps between 'who has it' and 'when it's due'.

How it works

Work orders on the asset

Work orders are tied to each asset. See service history and open tasks in one place alongside compliance and assignments.

Meter-based triggers

Where OEM or telematics integrations are configured, set thresholds (e.g. service every 250 hours). Work orders generate when the threshold is reached.
