View your assets' locations in real time

Learn how to monitor the current location of your assets using Live map via the web app.

This feature is part of an add-on package for individual assets. To explore if it’s the right fit for your team, reach out to your customer success manager or get in touch with a product expert about sensor and telematics solutions.

Why track asset locations in SafetyCulture?

Asset tracking in SafetyCulture helps you understand where your equipment, vehicles, or materials are at any given time. Asset location is determined either by data from connected telematics devices or by location responses captured through inspections. Whether you're monitoring company vehicles or office equipment, as long as the asset has valid location data, it can appear on the map.

With Live map, you can monitor real-time asset locations across your organization, check if a vehicle or asset is currently on-site or in transit, verify whether it has reached its destination, and improve coordination and operational visibility for field teams.

View your assets on Live map via the web app.
