SPDR on one register for every tool, piece of equipment and fleet vehicle

Scott Bradley, Managing Director at SPDR, on tracking, compliance and fleet visibility

Watch how Specialised Plumbing Drainage and Roofing use MapTrack for tool and equipment tracking, compliance and maintenance.

Specialised Plumbing Drainage and Roofing
Show transcript

We’re a good sized company with 100+ plumbers. Loss of tools and equipment over years has probably cost the company tens of thousands of dollars.

We have quite a few different assets, like from cars to trucks, excavators. Just had too many platforms that we were trying to use. That’s when we came across MapTrack.

And now with MapTrack we know where everything is. We know when people swap tools between one another. Everything gets moved digitally. It’s easy to track down, it’s easy to find. We just have one person run around, take photos, enter the data, and we’re up and running within a couple of days.

Through the forms feature, we’ve been using daily safety truck checks. So our mechanic here completes that every day, as well as the truck drivers. A lot of our job sites are commercial sites, so when we have an excavator out on site, we have to show proof of the last time it got serviced. They’re not having to call the office and being like, "Oh hey, when’s the last risk assessment done? When’s this? When’s that?" It’s just all there.

MapTrack’s alerts has drastically changed our ability to service our equipment from both tools, vehicles, and we also get alerts when guys put a wear and tear or damage to equipment comes up straight away. Gets sent directly to me.

Super easy for the guys on site to use. It’s a quick scan of a QR code and click of a button and you’re done. Since the introduction of MapTrack, on-site accountability of their tools has been drastically improved just because they know they’re being watched. We’re no longer misplacing or losing tools, and the wear and tear on our tools has reduced.

MapTrack’s support has been amazing. We’ve been able to deal directly with their team at a drop of a hat. There’s any issues, or we need a new field, or we need to learn something new, a phone call away, it’s answered.

I would say for anyone who’s planning to look at an asset management system, I would highly recommend MapTrack. It’s quick, simple, innovative.

Choose the evidence that answers the asset question

The last location, current custodian and completed service describe different parts of an asset’s history. Bring them together without treating one as a substitute for another.

  1. 1. Check custody and the actual issue

    Use the assignment and accessory quantities to see what was handed over. A Request records planned demand until its fulfilment creates the linked checkout.

  2. 2. Check the source of the location

    The app can show the latest GPS position or a Bluetooth-tag gateway detection. Live GPS, geofences, trips and history run in MapTrack Telematics.

  3. 3. Inspect the saved work

    Review the individual inspection outcome or last service record, then open the linked work order to understand what was recorded.

How it works

Four ways MapTrack keeps your asset register accurate and actionable.

1
One register for every asset type
Tools, equipment, plant, fleet and inventory in a single system. Custom fields and types so the register matches how you work. AI-assisted asset creation and imports speed setup.
2
Assign and track custody
Assign assets to people, crews (through a crew member or crew vehicle), sites or projects (as project sites). Field teams check in and out from mobile; you see who has what and where it should be. Role-based access keeps data appropriate to each user.
3
Bulk scanning and audits
Run fast verification with phone-camera QR scans or compatible external scanners for known tags. Confirm location and custody while connected; gaps and exceptions stay visible.
4
Lifecycle history in one place
Every change, event, inspection and maintenance record sits on the asset. No more scattered spreadsheets or folders. One audit trail for compliance and accountability.

Custody & accountability

Know who has what. Always

Assign assets to people, crews (through a crew member or crew vehicle), sites or projects (as project sites). Field teams check in and out from mobile. You see custody history and current holder at a glance. Role-based access keeps data appropriate to each user.

One plate compactor is flagged Overdue.

See who has each tool and when it is due back

Every sign-out in one list. Four assignments are back and marked Complete; four are still out as Active, each with the person and the due-back date. The plate compactor with James Ward was due back on 23 September, so it is flagged Overdue.

Bulk scanning

Verify fast with bulk scan

Run fast verification and stocktakes with QR or barcode scanning. Bulk scan to confirm location and custody. Gaps and exceptions are clear so you can fix drift before it becomes loss. Use each completed scan as current evidence of where an asset was seen, who had custody and which expected items were missing. That makes the operational case measurable from your own stocktake and write-off records.

Why teams switch

Spreadsheets can't keep up with real-world asset tracking

Most teams start with spreadsheets. They work for a while. Then assets grow, people forget to update rows, and the spreadsheet becomes a fiction. Here is where it breaks down.

Data goes stale within days

Spreadsheets rely on people remembering to update them. In practice, entries are skipped, rows are duplicated, and the register drifts from reality. By the time you check, half the data is wrong.

MapTrack updates automatically when staff scan, check out or inspect an asset on mobile.

No accountability or audit trail

A spreadsheet tells you what should be where. It does not tell you who moved it, when, or why. There is no chain of custody, no timestamp, and no evidence for audits.

Every action in MapTrack is logged (who, what, when, where) with a full history per asset.

Audits take days instead of hours

Reconciling a spreadsheet against physical assets means walking every site with a clipboard, manually ticking off rows, and chasing discrepancies across departments.

Bulk QR scanning verifies assets in minutes. MapTrack flags what is missing, unscanned or in the wrong location.

No alerts for compliance or maintenance

Spreadsheets do not send reminders. Calibration dates, service intervals and warranty expiry slip past without anyone noticing until something fails or an audit finds the gap.

MapTrack sends automated alerts before due dates so nothing expires without action.

Use cases

See how asset tracking works in real operations.

Contractor tool and equipment tracking

Assign tools and plant to crews (through a crew member or crew vehicle) and projects (as project sites); run regular scans so nothing goes missing between sites. Audits and pre-starts stay attached to each asset for compliance and handover.

Multi-site plant and fleet visibility

See where plant and vehicles are allocated. Combine QR or barcode at the asset with GPS or OEM data where you have devices. One view for mixed asset types.

Field asset layer around an ERP

Keep SAP, Oracle, Pronto Xi, Maximo or Dynamics authoritative while evaluating MapTrack assets, durable QR labels and forms for a specific field workflow.

Who uses MapTrack for asset tracking

Construction and civil contractors use MapTrack to track tools, plant and equipment across sites and crews. Facilities and field service teams keep assets assigned and audited. Mining and industrial operations use it for shutdowns, compliance and maintenance. If you have mobile assets that move between people and locations, and you care about accountability, audits and compliance, MapTrack is built for that. Per-asset pricing means you pay for what you track, with unlimited users so the whole team can use the platform.

Get started

Move a small part of the register first

Use one asset type or site to check the data and the handovers before expanding.

1

Import a sample

Upload a CSV or XLSX, map the columns and review row errors. Check how the existing asset numbers map to your configured fields, and review the imported categories and locations.

2

Label the sample

Generate QR tags and confirm each one opens the intended asset record.

3

Test the handover

While connected, check an asset out to a person or site and record its return. Review the assignment history.

4

Extend the setup

Add the forms and service schedules your team needs, then test those workflows with the people who'll use them.

Frequently asked questions

Asset tracking software is a digital platform that records, monitors and manages physical assets such as tools, equipment, vehicles and inventory. It replaces spreadsheets and paper registers with a real-time database where every asset has a record containing its location, custody, maintenance history, compliance status and lifecycle data. Modern platforms like MapTrack combine QR codes, GPS and barcode scanning in one system.

MapTrack is built for mobile assets: tools, equipment, plant, fleet and inventory that move across sites and crews. You define asset types and custom fields so the register matches your operations. Mixed fleets are supported, from hand tools to heavy plant and vehicles.

MapTrack uses per-asset pricing with unlimited users, so you pay based on how many assets you track. Not how many people use the platform. This makes it cost-effective for teams of any size. Pricing starts with a free trial with full access, no credit card required. Contact us for a custom quote based on your asset mix.

It depends on the condition of your asset list and the workflows you're bringing across. Start with a sample import and one real handover. Check the records and the crew's access before expanding to more assets or sites.

Yes. MapTrack supports CSV and spreadsheet import for existing asset registers. Prepare and validate the column mapping and remove duplicates before production import; the current importer should not be represented as an automatic AI deduplication tool.

You assign assets to people, crews (through a crew member or crew vehicle), sites or projects (as project sites). Field teams use the mobile app to check in/out and update status. Bulk scanning (QR or barcode) lets you run verification and stocktakes quickly; gaps and exceptions are visible so you can follow up. Full history is kept on each asset for compliance and audits.

Spreadsheets lack real-time updates, accountability, scanning, automated alerts and audit trails. They break down when multiple people need access, when assets move frequently or when you need to prove compliance. Asset tracking software gives every asset a live record that field teams can update from their phone, with full history and reporting.

Yes. MapTrack supports multi-site, multi-company and multi-region operations. You can organise assets by site, project or department and control access with role-based permissions. GPS tracking adds live location for vehicles and high-value equipment. QR scanning tracks assets at check-in/out between sites.

It depends on the asset and workflow. QR labels can be scanned with a phone or tablet. Existing known barcode values require a compatible keyboard-wedge scanner; broad camera barcode formats are not a current first-class workflow. Linked GPS devices can provide current location when configured and connected. Verify OEM or BLE scope before rollout.

Yes. MapTrack is mobile-first on phone, tablet and desktop. Field teams can scan QR labels, work with asset records and complete forms. Offline submission is available for forms and selected asset, QR-tag and file workflows; assignments, audits, stock movements, work orders, maps and reports have connectivity limits.

Yes. Scan QR, barcode and Data Matrix labels with the phone camera or a handheld Bluetooth or USB scanner, as long as each code is linked to the asset’s record. QR labels can be generated in bulk in the app, and barcode or Data Matrix labels are ordered from your asset list.

Yes. GPS trackers registered in MapTrack show battery, signal and estimated run hours, Bluetooth tag detections from gateway trackers update an asset’s location, and AI dash cams add live view, event clips, trips, run hours and km. They sit on the same record as the asset’s inspections and maintenance.

MapTrack can. Each asset and schedule in MapTrack gets a 0 to 100 maintenance health score with 12 months of memory, so a run of late or skipped services still counts after it’s cleared. The maintenance service board shows servicing across your assets, and due-soon emails reach the assigned person when a service falls due within 7 days.

Yes. Crews book equipment ahead through Requests, and once a booking is approved, a scan at pick-up turns it into a check-out. Requests and check-outs need a connection.

Yes. One work order can cover many assets, each with its own pass or fail, for test and tag, calibration and inspection rounds. Raise one batch work order for a group of enrolled assets, or scan a batch of assets and log the service for all of them at once. Batch logging needs a connection.
