Construction fleet management and tracking for builders.

Construction fleet management involves tracking and managing vehicles and plant equipment across job sites. Australian construction companies use fleet management to reduce equipment theft risk, track utilisation for project costing, and improve site coordination. Ctrack provides GPS tracking, geofencing, utilisation reporting, and maintenance scheduling specifically designed for construction fleet management.

GPS tracking acts as both a deterrent and recovery tool. Thieves avoid equipment with visible tracking stickers. If theft occurs, you receive immediate alerts when equipment leaves the job site and can provide police with real-time location data. Industry data shows 40% of stolen plant is tracked and recovered with GPS installed, with a 69% overall GPS recovery rate.

Yes. Battery-powered GPS trackers are designed for non-powered equipment like trailers, generators, compressors, and tools. These trackers have long battery life (10-20 years with daily updates, Digital Matter; 7-10 years with hourly updates) and send location updates at configurable intervals. You can also install wired trackers on powered plant like excavators, loaders, and skid steers.

Geofencing creates virtual boundaries around job sites, depots, or exclusion zones. You receive instant alerts when equipment enters or exits these zones. This helps monitor equipment movement between sites, detect unauthorised use after hours, and verify time on site for project costing.

For multi-site operations, prioritise utilisation reports (time on site vs idle), site entry/exit logs (movement between projects), maintenance due reports (track service intervals), and trip history (verify equipment transfers). These reports help with project costing, equipment allocation, and compliance documentation.

Ctrack tracks maintenance intervals based on engine hours, distance, or calendar dates. Set service reminders for each asset and receive alerts when maintenance is due. This prevents breakdowns, extends equipment life, and maintains warranty compliance. You can also track maintenance history and service costs per asset.
