How MapTrack and Tenna compare on features
Which is better for GPS asset tracking?
MapTrack is hardware-agnostic with GPS trackers (including ultra long-life battery units) and 150+ direct OEM integrations. Tenna bundles proprietary GPS and BLE hardware (AI T-series).
MapTrack supports GPS trackers - including ultra long-life battery units that run for years without charging - so you get real-time location on a map for plant, vehicles and high-value equipment across job sites. Crucially, MapTrack is hardware-agnostic: you can use any GPS tracker and consolidate data from 150+ OEM telematics and GPS vendors into a single platform. Tenna provides its own branded GPS trackers (AI T320 BLE+NFC, AI T380 mid-sized, AI T400 Geo cellular GPS), BLE beacons (TennaBLE) and QR tags (Action QR) - tracking is tied to Tenna’s hardware ecosystem. Following the John Deere acquisition (Feb 2026), Tenna hardware integration with John Deere’s construction equipment line is expected to deepen. If you already have GPS trackers from other vendors, want freedom to choose hardware, or run mixed-OEM fleets, MapTrack gives you that flexibility without OEM alignment.
Which platform consolidates fleet telemetry from 150+ OEM vendors?
MapTrack integrates 150+ direct OEM telematics and GPS vendors. Tenna supports OEM/AEMP (ISO 15143-3) primarily through its own hardware ecosystem.
MapTrack integrates 150+ direct OEM telematics and GPS vendors - engine hours, odometer, fuel consumption, fault codes and DTC alerts flow from multiple standalone systems into a single platform. This data powers automated maintenance triggers (e.g. service at 500 engine hours), geofence entry/exit alerts and fault-code-to-work-order workflows. Tenna supports OEM/AEMP (ISO 15143-3 standard) telematics integrations with major construction OEMs (Volvo, Komatsu, John Deere, Caterpillar) but the breadth is tied to its own hardware ecosystem. Post-John-Deere acquisition, John Deere telematics is expected to integrate more tightly with Tenna - but non-John-Deere OEM depth may not deepen. For mixed fleets with equipment from many manufacturers and existing telematics providers, MapTrack turns live machine data from any OEM into proactive maintenance without OEM brand alignment.
Which tracks costs per asset with TCO reporting?
MapTrack tracks full cost of ownership per asset with TCO reporting. Tenna tracks cost per asset and per work order; verify TCO depth.
MapTrack tracks the full cost of ownership per asset: purchase price, depreciation schedules, service and repair costs, hire and rental charges, fuel and operating expenses. Roll-up reports give you total cost of ownership (TCO) by asset, category, site or project. Tenna tracks cost per asset and per work order for US construction - cost tracking depth has improved with recent releases. If you need to answer “what does this excavator actually cost us per hour?” MapTrack provides it out of the box with per-asset depreciation and TCO roll-ups built in.
Which is purpose-built for heavy industry beyond US construction?
MapTrack serves construction, civil, mining and facilities across AU/NZ, UK, US and Canada. Tenna is US/Canada/Mexico construction-focused.
MapTrack is designed for construction, civil, mining, oil and gas, facilities and field services across multiple regions - industries where assets are mobile, crews rotate, and compliance is non-negotiable. Workflows like pre-start inspections, site transfers, plant compliance registers, AS/NZS-calibrated templates (test-and-tag intervals, EWP and SWP prestart regimes, AS 3760 electrical) and job-site geofencing are first-class features. Tenna is purpose-built for US construction with strong scheduling, Procore and Viewpoint integrations, and its own hardware ecosystem. No documented AU/NZ presence, no AU/NZ data residency. If you operate outside the US or across multiple heavy industries (especially mining or facilities in AU/NZ), MapTrack’s multi-region, hardware-agnostic approach is the stronger fit.
How do maintenance and work orders compare?
MapTrack is a unified tracking + CMMS platform with telemetry-driven triggers from 150+ direct OEM vendors. Tenna offers maintenance and scheduling with its own hardware data.
MapTrack is a unified tracking + CMMS platform: work orders, meter-based triggers driven by live telemetry from 150+ direct OEM vendors, inspection-to-work-order escalation and planned maintenance schedules. Tenna offers automated maintenance from usage/meter (hours, mileage) with work orders triggered from inspection failures, integrated with its hardware ecosystem and OEM/AEMP data. Both support work orders and inspections - but MapTrack’s hardware-agnostic telemetry ingestion means you get maintenance triggers from any equipment brand without being locked into proprietary hardware or aligned with a single OEM.
Which offers inventory management alongside asset tracking?
MapTrack includes inventory management in the same platform as asset tracking, GPS and maintenance. Tenna focuses on equipment tracking, scheduling and parts inventory.
MapTrack includes inventory management - consumables, spare parts, materials and stock levels - alongside asset tracking, GPS, maintenance and cost tracking in a single platform. Teams can manage tool cribs, parts stores and site stock without a separate system. Tenna focuses on equipment tracking, scheduling and maintenance for construction fleets with parts inventory tied to work orders. If you want one platform for both assets and broader inventory management, MapTrack covers both at greater depth.
Which is better for compliance, inspections and offline mobile?
MapTrack keeps compliance attached to each asset with full offline support and AS/NZS templates. Tenna offers custom equipment inspections with DVIR and AI dash cam.
MapTrack keeps compliance attached to each asset: pre-starts, inspections, certificates and evidence trails in one place for audits. The mobile-first app gives field teams full capability offline - critical on remote sites without connectivity. AS/NZS-calibrated templates (test-and-tag intervals, EWP/SWP prestart regimes, AS 3760 electrical) ship out of the box for AU compliance. Tenna offers custom equipment inspections with pass/fail and conditional logic, DVIR (Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports), and AI dash cam with driver scorecards (harsh braking, speeding, distraction events). Both support inspections - if your teams do pre-starts on excavators at 5 am with no signal in regional AU, compare offline depth and AS/NZS template availability in a pilot.
Which is better: MapTrack or Tenna?
MapTrack wins for teams that want hardware-agnostic GPS tracking, 150+ direct OEM fleet data integrations, OEM independence (especially post-John-Deere acquisition), per-asset cost tracking, inventory management, and multi-region support (AU/NZ, UK, US, Canada). Tenna is a strong choice for US construction teams that want bundled GPS/BLE hardware, scheduling with a two-week lookahead, deep Procore/Viewpoint integration, and now deeper John Deere ecosystem alignment from one vendor.
