From paper to digital: organise pre-starts and assets
Digital checklists from any phone
No paperwork. Complete pre-starts on mobile or tablet; results sync to the dashboard from the field.
Saved against assets, locations or people
Pre-starts link to your asset, location or people databases so you can find and report on them easily.
Audit-ready data
Fully searchable records and sign-offs attached to each asset. Export for auditors and compliance when you need it.
How it works
Three steps to faster, compliant pre-starts
Scan asset
Operator scans the asset's QR code on the machine to instantly open its record - ID, history and the right pre-start checklist for that asset type.
Explore scan asset →
Complete pre-start
Operator works through each pass/fail item, captures photos and notes for any defects, then signs off. The result is timestamped and attached to the asset record.

Auto-trigger maintenance
If the checklist flags a fault, MapTrack automatically creates a work order linked to the asset and routes it to the maintenance team. The asset isn't released until it's fixed.
Explore auto-trigger maintenance →Scan to start
Scan the asset, start the pre-start
Operators scan the asset's QR code to open the pre-start checklist. No searching through lists - the right form appears for that asset type. Fast, accurate and linked to the record.
Complete and sign
Complete the checklist, sign off
Work through each item. Pass or fail, add photos and notes where needed. Sign off and the result attaches to the asset with a timestamp - fully compliance-ready from the moment it's submitted.
Fault to fix
Failed items trigger work orders
When a pre-start flags a defect, MapTrack can auto-create a work order linked to the asset. The technician sees defect details, photos and context. The asset is tracked to resolution.

What teams say about MapTrack pre-starts

Matthew Anderson
Maintenance Planning Supervisor at Supagas
“We manage dozens of assets across multiple sites. With MapTrack, our team completes checklists digitally, and if there's an issue, the system alerts our maintenance team. It's helped us reduce downtime and avoid costly breakdowns.”
