Asset, Container & Equipment Tracking
How many asset-hours are lost because equipment cannot be found, trusted or scheduled?
Evidence distinction: this is a representative solution case constructed from the source requirements and Mappls delivery pattern. It is not presented as a named-customer outcome unless a separate verified customer story is explicitly linked.
01 · Operating context
The decision environment and the problem to change
Non-powered and mobile assets are under-utilised, misplaced or maintained reactively because location and state are not visible.
Economic decision
COO; Plant/Project Director
Technical influence
IoT; Maintenance; Security; ERP
Why action becomes urgent
Asset loss, rental fleet scale, yard digitisation, capex audit, maintenance backlog, multi-site expansion.
02 · Before and after
Change the operating model, not only the interface
Fragmented context and delayed action
Non-powered and mobile assets are under-utilised, misplaced or maintained reactively because location and state are not visible.
- Location, operational and enterprise data remain separated
- Stakeholders make inconsistent decisions from partial context
- Exceptions are found late and evidence is difficult to reconstruct
A governed location-aware decision loop
Battery/solar trackers, BLE/RFID integration, geofences, utilisation, theft alerts, yard/terminal views, maintenance triggers and APIs.
- One role-aware workspace in Mappls Fleet Command
- Live context moves directly into the responsible workflow
- Every decision, scenario and outcome can be measured and audited

Inside Mappls Pro, the same user can hold this role here and a different role in another application. Membership, saved runs and administration remain app-specific.
04 · Day-in-the-life journey
How the solution turns information into an operational result
Frame the operating decision
Which asset classes, environments and battery life? What events and ERP/EAM links are required?
Connect the location foundation
Bring the required map, address, road, place, imagery, asset, customer and operational data into a governed Fleet Command workspace.
Act through role workflows
Live command, Trips, Drivers, Vehicles, Costs give each stakeholder the information, decision and action appropriate to their role.
Prove the intervention
Track a representative 25-100 asset cohort across yard, transit and job-site workflows.
Scale and continuously improve
Operationalise the model through Hardware + per-asset SaaS + installation/integration., adoption governance, service measurement and a managed improvement backlog.

Product details06 · Outcome and evidence
Make the value claim measurable before scaling
Bounded proof
Track a representative 25-100 asset cohort across yard, transit and job-site workflows.
- Confirm the baseline and decision scope: Which asset classes, environments and battery life? What events and ERP/EAM links are required?
- Use representative and, where approved, customer data in the configured workspace
- Review measurable success with the operating and economic owners: Location/event reliability, battery/installation feasibility and utilisation improvement accepted.
- Document data quality, adoption, security, service and scale findings
- Convert evidence into a phased production scope and accountable value plan
07 · Governance and scale
Operate the solution safely and sustainably
Identity and access
Server-enforced identity, least-privilege app membership, role-specific actions and auditable administration.
Data governance
Source lineage, quality thresholds, update cadence, retention, consent and controlled data sharing.
Operating governance
Named process owners, exception SLAs, escalation, change control and adoption measurement.
Value governance
Baseline, intervention and outcome metrics reviewed on an agreed cadence with accountable owners.
