How does geofence time onsite work in MapTrack?

Where GPS devices are fitted and integrations are configured, MapTrack can use geofence data to report time onsite (e.g. time within a job or site boundary). This supports utilisation reporting and can help with billing or compliance. Geofence behaviour depends on the telematics/OEM integration. Verify with MapTrack for your hardware and use case.

Do we need GPS on every asset?

No. Geofence time onsite applies to assets that have GPS devices installed. For assets without GPS, MapTrack still gives you reservations, assignments and check-in/out, so you have visibility from usage data. Add GPS where the cost is justified (e.g. high-value plant, hire equipment).

Which GPS or telematics does MapTrack integrate with?

MapTrack supports a range of OEM and telematics integrations for meter data and location. The exact list and geofence capabilities depend on the integration. Book a demo to confirm support for your devices and geofence use case.

The problem

When plant or equipment has GPS, you want to use that data for more than just location, e.g. time spent within a job or site boundary for utilisation, billing or compliance. Many systems don't tie geofence data to the asset register or make it easy to report time onsite. You need geofence time onsite integrated with your asset and work management so you can act on it.

How MapTrack addresses it

MapTrack can use geofence data from connected GPS/telematics (integration-dependent) to report time onsite for assets. Where configured, this supports utilisation reporting - how long plant or equipment was at a site or within a zone, and can feed into compliance or billing workflows. Geofence behaviour depends on your telematics/OEM integration; MapTrack brings that data into the same platform as your asset register, work orders and reservations. You get one place for location-based utilisation alongside tracking and maintenance.

How it works

GPS and integrations

MapTrack supports GPS where devices are fitted and integrates with a range of OEM/telematics providers. Geofence and time-onsite capabilities depend on the integration. Verify for your hardware.

Geofence and time onsite

Where supported, geofence data is used to calculate or report time onsite (e.g. within a job or site boundary). Use for utilisation and reporting.

One platform with asset data

Geofence and utilisation data sit alongside the asset register, work orders and reservations. No need to jump between systems.

Reporting and visibility

Use time onsite and utilisation data for reporting, billing or compliance. Exact metrics depend on your integration and configuration.
