Mobile asset tracking for field teams
Use a supported phone or tablet browser for QR identification, published forms and work orders. Previously loaded forms and work orders support documented offline completion before syncing after reconnection. Test the exact field workflow before rollout.

The challenge
Why field teams abandon most asset tracking tools
The biggest problem with asset management software is field adoption. Desktop-shaped systems and unclear connectivity boundaries push the people handling tools and equipment back to paper or memory.
Desktop-first systems don't work in the field
Legacy asset management tools are built for office desks with big screens. In the field, they're slow, confusing and unusable on a phone. Field teams avoid them, and go back to paper, memory or not recording at all.
Double data entry wastes everyone's time
Paper forms filled in the field need to be re-entered into a system at the office. This doubles the work, introduces errors and delays data by hours or days. Compared to paper-based processes, mobile-first systems capture data once at the source.
Complex apps get abandoned by crews
Complex navigation, too many screens and feature overload undermine field adoption. Pilot the exact workflow with the people who will use it, then simplify the rollout around their real job.
Unclear connectivity boundaries on remote sites
Many field sites have no cellular coverage - basements, tunnels, regional areas. Apps that require constant connectivity leave field teams unable to do their job digitally. They revert to paper, and data is lost or delayed.
Forms take too long to fill out
Paper pre-starts and inspection forms are slow, illegible and hard to retrieve. Published mobile forms can keep the required fields and evidence with the relevant record.
Built for the field
Scan, complete and move on without leaving the job site
MapTrack provides an installable web app for supported phone and tablet browsers. Previously loaded forms and work orders can be completed offline within documented boundaries, then synced after reconnection. Creation, setup, imports, exports and server-side automations need a connection.
Scan and go
Scan a MapTrack QR tag to identify the asset and open its record. A scan identifies the asset. Assignment, return, transfer and audit actions are deliberate connected steps.

Use published forms to complete pre-starts, inspections and condition evidence on mobile with configured checklists and photos. Previously loaded forms and work orders can be completed offline within documented boundaries, then synced after reconnection. Creation, setup, imports, exports and server-side automations need a connection.

Explore offline behaviour by actionQR scanning
Scan to identify, then choose the connected action
MapTrack QR tags identify the linked asset or location in a supported browser. A scan identifies the asset. Assignment, return, transfer and audit actions are deliberate connected steps. Access to record details depends on the user's role.
- Scan MapTrack QR tags in a supported phone browser
- Validate an existing-barcode workflow before rollout
- Use deliberate connected assignment and return actions
- Open role-appropriate asset details
- Use the dedicated audit workflow for stocktakes
Forms
Complete published pre-start forms in the field
Open the appropriate published form, complete its supported fields and add required evidence before submitting. A failed submission doesn’t create follow-up work by default. Configure and test any task or work-order automation before rollout.
- Open the published form for the asset
- Complete required fields and validation
- Add photo evidence where configured
- Submit a previously loaded form offline
- Configure and test follow-up automation separately
Evidence
Keep condition evidence with the relevant record
Use an appropriate published form to record a condition with its supported fields and evidence. A failed submission doesn’t create follow-up work by default. Configure and test any task or work-order automation before rollout.
- Use supported form fields and evidence
- Keep submissions with the relevant record
- Review the result before creating follow-up work
- Configure follow-up automation when needed
- Test the trigger and action before rollout
Platform
Built for supported phone and tablet browsers
MapTrack provides phone and tablet workflows without specialist scanner hardware. Previously loaded forms and work orders can be completed offline within documented boundaries, then synced after reconnection. Creation, setup, imports, exports and server-side automations need a connection.

Get started
How field teams start using MapTrack
Setup depends on data quality, labels, workflows and team size. Start with one asset class or site, test one field workflow, then expand.
Open the web app and sign in
Open MapTrack in a supported browser and sign in with the account method configured for the workspace. Confirm SSO provider support, provisioning, role mapping, enforcement and setup ownership before rollout.
Scan your first asset
Scan a QR code on a representative asset and confirm the role-appropriate record details. Then complete one intended assignment, return or form action while connected. A scan identifies the asset. Assignment, return, transfer and audit actions are deliberate connected steps.
Build the habit
Run the real QR, form and work-order steps with one crew. Record where roles, connectivity or form design create friction, then adjust before expanding.
Full field adoption
Expand only after the pilot crew can complete the expected workflow reliably and supervisors can review the resulting records.
Key features for field teams
Asset, form and work-order capabilities available through supported mobile browsers.
