Equipment utilisation tracking

See which equipment is allocated or requested over a defined period. Filter the assets, inspect the utilisation heatmap and check the source records before making the next hire or redeployment decision.

Asset Performance set to Day from 25 September to 7 October 2026, with utilisation and requested-ahead summaries, a category breakdown and Small Plant and Tools asset rows.

Compare recorded equipment use over a chosen period

Set the date range before comparing the summary and category breakdown. Recorded allocations drive utilisation; future requests appear separately. The selected group contains nine assets in this example.

Read assignment use before making a hire or redeployment decision

See which equipment has recorded allocations and which items have been requested ahead. Open the period behind a quiet or busy patch before deciding to hire more, move equipment or follow up with the crew.

  1. 1. Compare the same period and asset group

    Set the date range and day, week, month or year scale. Filter by category, current location or utilisation band, then check which assets are included. Compare the same group over the same period.

  2. 2. Investigate the quiet and busy periods

    Open a heatmap cell and inspect the allocated time and Requests behind it. A low result can reflect missing allocation history. A high result does not establish that an engine was running.

  3. 3. Keep a reproducible export

    Export the filtered report as CSV or Excel and retain the reporting period and asset scope. Use a configured meter or Telematics measure for engine runtime and GPS time-on-site questions.

Setup and limits

  • Allocated time is not a direct measurement of engine hours, productive output or time inside a geofence.
  • The location filter uses the asset’s current saved location, not its historical time at a worksite.
  • Confirm the included assets before using a ranked breakdown as a whole-fleet comparison.
  • Forward requested time covers named assets, not category quantities without selected assets.
Asset utilisation heatmap for nine assets, with green allocation cells, blue future-request cells and the Angle Grinder AG-01 detail for 28 September showing Jack Roberts and In use from 26 September to 9 October.

Open the allocation behind a coloured cell

Opening the grinder’s 28 September cell reveals the recorded allocation and its dates. Green allocation time and blue requested time answer different questions; neither proves that the equipment was running.

About this screenshot

Demonstration Small Plant & Tools filter, 25 September to 7 October 2026. Location groups use each asset’s current saved location. The No location group does not mean the equipment has no physical whereabouts.

The problem

Before hiring another machine, you need to know what’s already allocated and what the next job will need. Scattered records make it hard to spot equipment that could be moved or a gap that needs a closer look.

How MapTrack addresses it

Asset Performance brings recorded allocations and forward Requests into one dated view. Filter by category or current location, inspect a cell and keep a CSV or Excel file for planning. Compare that with the crew’s needs and configured meter or Telematics records when the question is machine runtime or time on site.

How it works

  • 1

    Requests and planning

    Review equipment requested for upcoming work. Keep that planned demand separate from what’s already allocated.

  • 2

    Assignments and check-in/out

    Assign assets to people or crews (through a crew member or crew vehicle); check in/out from the field. History shows who had what and when.

  • 3

    Utilisation heatmap and drill-down

    Review the dated pattern, then open the usage and Requests behind a cell. Check the selected assets and dates before comparing percentages.

  • 4

    Reporting and visibility

    Export the selected view to CSV or Excel and retain its dates and filters, so the next person can understand which equipment the result covers.

Frequently asked questions

Asset Performance uses recorded allocated time and shows forward Requests separately. Choose a period, filter the assets, inspect a heatmap cell and export CSV or Excel for planning. Read this as allocation use; engine hours, movement and time on site come from their own configured sources.

No. Asset Performance uses allocation records and Requests. You don't need a GPS tracker to record those. A configured device can supply location or meter data separately, with live GPS and geofence reports in MapTrack Telematics.

You can filter and group assets by their current saved location. This helps review the equipment now assigned to each location, but it doesn't reconstruct where that equipment was throughout an earlier period. Check the relevant MapTrack Telematics report when you need historical time on site.

Use it as a reason to check the records and speak with the crew. Missing allocations can leave a quiet period, and an allocated machine may not be running. Review upcoming Requests, service needs and the work planned before making the decision.

Two quick questions, then pick a time

A 30-minute demo on Microsoft Teams, set up around what you run.

How many vehicles and machines do you run?

Trucks, cars, plant and other machines. A rough number is fine.

And how many tools and smaller bits of equipment?

Power tools, test gear, lifting gear and the like.
