Oil, Gas & Mining

Drilling, pumping, digging, refining.

For the oil, gas, and mining industry, drivers and equipment can be in some very remote locations. So effectively managing your team, as well as your machinery and vehicles, can pose some real challenges. But with fleet management solutions from NexTraq, including our mobile apps, the miles separating you from your people and equipment won’t impair your visibility.

NexTraq allows you to track everything from the location of equipment to weather and traffic. And we can also help you monitor driver behavior and driver hours to ensure you’re protecting your crews and your business.

With asset tracking and geofencing and mapping, even in the harshest conditions, you can always be sure of where your vehicles and equipment are, how they’re being used, and the conditions crews may be facing:

  • Cellular asset tracking and satellite asset tracking keep you up to date on location to protect your investments in bulldozers, cranes, forklifts, backhoes, and more.
  • Geofencing technology, powered by GoogleTM Maps, enables you to create virtual boundaries so you’re alerted when crew members and vehicles arrive and depart the site, allowing you to monitor hours and the authorized use of equipment.
  • Advanced mapping, also powered by GoogleTM Maps, can provide you with satellite views, terrain images, zip codes, county boundaries, and weather to keep you and your people on site prepared for what’s ahead.
