The problem

Tool and equipment theft is a major cost for contractors and field teams. Without a single register and clear accountability, you don't know what's missing until it's too late, and you lack evidence for recovery or insurance. Spreadsheets and paper don't keep up when assets move between sites and crews.

How MapTrack addresses it

MapTrack gives you one register with assignments (who has which tool), check-in/out from mobile, and bulk scanning for fast verification. Regular audits surface missing or misplaced assets early. Every assignment and scan is recorded with timestamps, so you have an audit trail for recovery and claims. For high-value assets, add GPS where devices are fitted. You get accountability and evidence without running a separate security system.

How it works

  • 1

    Assign and check in/out

    Assign tools to people, crews (through a crew member or crew vehicle) or projects (as project sites). Field teams check in and out from mobile so you always know who has what and where it should be.

  • 2

    Run bulk verification

    Scan a van, site or storeroom in one session. See what's present, what's missing and what's unaccounted. Run audits regularly to catch drift early.

  • 3

    Keep an audit trail

    Every assignment and scan is recorded with timestamps. Use the history for recovery, insurance and internal accountability.

  • 4

    Add GPS where it pays

    For high-value plant or equipment, add GPS so you have location data. MapTrack supports GPS where devices are installed.

Movement alerts on GPS-tracked gear

Full access to every feature. No credit card required. Per-asset pricing so you scale as your fleet grows.

Frequently asked questions

Clear assignment (who has which tool), check-in/out from the field and regular bulk scans create accountability and make it obvious when something is missing. Evidence and timestamps support recovery and insurance claims. MapTrack doesn't replace physical security; it gives you a register and audit trail so you know what was where and who had it last.

Yes. Bulk scanning (QR or barcode) lets you verify a van, site or storeroom in one session. You see what was scanned, what's missing and what's unaccounted. Run audits regularly to catch drift before it becomes loss.

MapTrack supports GPS where devices are fitted - useful for high-value plant or vehicles. For most hand tools, QR/barcode and assignments give you 'who had it last' and 'where it should be'. Real-time GPS is available as an add-on where hardware is installed.

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.
