Baseline
Measure current volume, time, cost, failure, service, risk and revenue at the workflow level.
P35 · Implementation blueprint · Mappls Fleet Command
Asset, Container & Equipment Tracking
Non-powered and mobile assets are under-utilised, misplaced or maintained reactively because location and state are not visible.
01 · Target operating outcome
Define the change before choosing the technology
How many asset-hours are lost because equipment cannot be found, trusted or scheduled?
Higher asset turns and utilisation; lower loss, search time, rental leakage and unplanned downtime.
Target
Location/event reliability, battery/installation feasibility and utilisation improvement accepted.
02 · Solution architecture
One connected flow from source data to operational action
Battery/solar trackers, BLE/RFID integration, geofences, utilisation, theft alerts, yard/terminal views, maintenance triggers and APIs. Mappls connects proprietary map and location intelligence with battery/solar trackers, ble/rfid integration, geofences, utilisation, theft alerts, yard/terminal views, maintenance triggers and apis. We start with one measurable workflow, prove the operating impact, and scale through reusable data, APIs and SaaS rather than a one-off implementation.

The shared Mappls identity is separated from application membership. A user can be an administrator in one app, an analyst in another and a viewer elsewhere.
04 · Data and integration
Connect the minimum information needed to make the workflow real
Location foundation
Map, road, address, place, imagery, boundary and terrain layers appropriate to the decision.
Enterprise context
Customer, order, asset, vehicle, incident, task, sensor or transaction records from systems of record.
Integration pattern
APIs, SDKs, secure batch, streaming events, webhooks, files or on-premise integration depending on architecture.
Security and control
Least-privilege RBAC, audit events, encrypted transport, tenant separation and cloud, private or offline deployment.

Product details05 · Proof of value
Use a bounded implementation to answer the scale decision
Track a representative 25-100 asset cohort across yard, transit and job-site workflows.
- Confirm data, geography, users and workflow: Which asset classes, environments and battery life? What events and ERP/EAM links are required?
- Configure Mappls Fleet Command for the selected role set
- Run baseline and intervention scenarios with real stakeholder reviews
- Evaluate agreed criteria: Location/event reliability, battery/installation feasibility and utilisation improvement accepted.
- Package production scope and commercial model: Hardware + per-asset SaaS + installation/integration.
