Game-Changing Interactive Mapping for OEM IoT and Customer Experience
For original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and machine builders, whether offering rental equipment or not, managing assets across multiple sites, customers, and regions is a logistical and operational challenge. For any multi-site customer, visibility is everything. Knowing where your machines are, their condition, and how they’re being used is critical to running a profitable and efficient operation.
That’s where interactive mapping with live locations, machine statuses, and customizable data, powered by Scante.net, becomes indispensable.
What Is Interactive Mapping?
In Scante’s system, interactive mapping is a live, dynamic visualization of your deployed machines. Each piece of equipment appears on a digital map, along with:
- Precise location data
- Real-time machine status (running, idle, faulted, service due, etc.)
- Customizable overlays (usage hours, fuel levels, maintenance history, and job site identifiers)
Interactive mapping isn’t just a GPS tool. It’s a dashboard with real-time, data-rich fleet information at your fingertips; designed specifically for machine building OEMs and service providers.
5 Reasons Why OEMs Should Care About Interactive Mapping
If you’re in the business of supplying smart machines, heavy equipment, or industrial systems either for sale or rental, then interactive mapping directly impacts your bottom line. Here’s how:
- Track Every Asset in Real Time – Equipment is often on the move. Scante’s mapping lets you see precisely where each machine is located whether on a job site, in a yard, or in transit; Removing the guesswork and delays that often plague customer and rental operations.
- Understand Machine Utilization Instantly – Color-coded statuses and live usage data show which machines are being actively used, which are idle, and which need attention, helping you: Maximize uptime, Rotate underutilized machines, Identify high-performing assets, and Define maintenance frequency.
- Geofencing Asset Protection and Notification – Create a virtual boundary around a defined geographic area tied to a connected asset’s GPS location. When the asset—such as a vehicle, machine, or piece of equipment—moves outside or enters that predefined zone, the system automatically triggers real-time alerts to designated users via the branded web or mobile app. These notifications can prompt immediate action, such as contacting operators, dispatching security, or logging the movement for compliance records. By combining location tracking, geofencing rules, and instant communication, Scante enables OEMs and their customers to safeguard high-value assets, reduce theft risk, and maintain tighter operational control.
- Stay Ahead of Maintenance Issues – With Scante, OEMs can configure alerts that trigger when a machine hits a certain usage threshold, moves outside a designated area, or shows signs of trouble. Alerts like these enable proactive maintenance, reduce costly repairs, and boost customer confidence and trust.
- Empower Your Customers and Teams – Rental coordinators, service techs, and end customers can use the map interface to get role-specific, data-driven insights. From machine diagnostics to service scheduling, the visibility provided by Scante’s system adds efficiency at every level.
The Positive Business Outcomes
Implementing interactive mapping leads to a number of improvements that directly benefit OEM and customer operations, including, but not limited to:
- Faster decisions about asset deployment, support, and logistics
- Lower costs through reduced idle time, better scheduling, and optimized routes
- Increased revenue via improved asset utilization and customer satisfaction
- Enhanced customer trust from transparent, responsive service and communication
Ultimately, Scante’s interactive mapping gives OEMs the tools to run more intelligent, profitable, and customer-friendly businesses.
