We closed off 2023 in a BIG way, ending up with 40 launches in 12 months. This last quarter our launches focused around enhancing our current product offerings and delivering data that helps you do more. Built with your feedback from the Trackunit Product Portal, this article outlines our Q4 2023 product updates.  Iris APIs The APIs our team develops enable you to easily share information, simplify day-to-day business, and streamline workflow by funnelling all of your data into the platform of your choice. We’ve been hard at work and have launched three new Iris APIs in Q4 2023, and improved your overall API experience. Read more about Iris APIs and the value that one single source of truth brings to your business.  Enriched API Access Our enriched API access makes it easier to differentiate the purpose and use of each API key, by using appropriate names and descriptions. Tracking last activity allows you to keep an eye on unused keys and keep a tight access security, by removing inactive keys. The metadata used to help you track API keys now includes creation date, last activity, and creator details for each API key.  Time Series APITime Series API is an enhanced offering to the ISO 15143-3 as it provides near real-time data frequency and is equipped for advanced querying.  Time Series API opens up opportunities to find improper use of an asset, calculate precision usage, or utilisation of an asset. The API endpoints make for a great data source for apps built via our App SDK. Location APILocation API provides effortless access to real-time GPS coordinates across connected programs for all assets within your fleet. Data can be delivered either at a fleet level or narrowed down to individual assets. Additional metadata like speed of an asset and location address are also included in the overview. GraphQL APIGraphQL API provides you with precise fine-grained filtering to avoid over-fetching or under-fetching of data. GraphQL provides the opportunity for flexible queries, enabling you to retrieve multiple related resources in a single request, which minimizes the number of requests and optimizes network efficiency. New in Trackunit Manager Fleet Map ImprovementsFleet Map is the wayfinder providing our customers with the information required to hone in on key action items for their fleet.

Our team has been hard at work developing new ways to help eliminate downtime throughout the industry. Our launches this quarter focus on propelling the industry forward through digital Access Management, Emissions Reporting, Service Prediction tools, and advanced Administration capabilities. To see what updates are coming next, you can always check out the Trackunit Product Portal.  Digital Access Management Inherent protection of safety is a joint effort across the entire construction ecosystem. With the Trackunit Access Management system, users can increase productivity and save time by remotely managing equipment access across projects, plus enable operator access with a mobile app offering a choice of trusted digital keys*. Managing equipment access is first and foremost about protecting safety and together, we can make Access Management an industry standard. Trackunit’s new digital Access Management makes the lives of fleet administrators, contractors, and operators easier by bringing together their access management activities into one app.Connect with a Trackunit team member if you’d like to get started with Access Management. * Not currently widely available from Trackunit in North America. Exceptions exist for select Trackunit partners. For more information, contact Trackunit. Emissions Reporting Tool Corporate social and sustainability agendas are making it a priority for construction companies to show their commitment to C02 reduction, backed by data and we’re here to help provide that data. The Trackunit Emissions Reporting solution responds to the growing need for automated tracking of emissions from construction equipment. This solution empowers you to monitor, manage, and report fleet emissions to help you achieve business and emissions targets without any guesswork. It provides users with daily trends, and advanced insights drilled down to the equipment brand, model, and category.Speak with a Trackunit representative to see how you can gain access consistent and reliable information about your fleets’ emissions performance. What’s New in Service Management When we launched Service Management in Q1 2023, we introduced comprehensive OEM-built service plans that help you stay ahead of downtime and simplify workflow. We promised there was more to come – and now it’s time to share what we’ve been working on:Service Prediction: Provides visibility of the expected service date for an asset, which helps planning processes, scheduling services visits, and enables proactive customer communication.  Resolving/Skipping Service Notes: Add notes and documentation when resolving or skipping a scheduled service to enable better two-way communication. To learn more about Service Management, and how it can help you streamline your day-to-day business, speak with Trackunit team member today.  New Alert Now Live We’ve been creating new Alerts for Trackunit Manager that help you setup powerful notifications based on different trigger conditions, and our latest alert is the Movement-Based Theft Alert. A digital punch card for equipment, Movement-Based Theft Alerts notify fleet administrators when assets are moved outside of the assigned jobsite working hours. If the jobsite working hours (aka the asset’s working hours) end at 5pm, and the asset moves – even within the jobsite’s perimeter – the alert is triggered. This alert is based on GPS data, which means it will be triggered even if the asset is not powered on, or moving on its own (e.g. if it’s loaded onto a truck and is driven away). Read this Help Center article to learn how to setup a Movement-Based Theft Alert in Trackunit Manager.  Questions About These Product Updates? Head over to Trackunit Community – Trackunit’s new online peer-to-peer forum.
