ON!Track Unite is an open Application Programming Interface (API) that unifies data from multiple sources for software integration. The platform, from Hilti North America, “transforms what is often complex and manual-based into a seamless digital experience,” according to the company. The platform increases data quality and consistency, and automates processes involving ON!Track Tool Tracking and Asset Management.
ON!Track Unite is an add-on that improves the efficiency of the ON!Track management system. The open API facilitates a seamless exchange of data between ON!Track and other applications construction professionals use to run their businesses.
The platform is designed to support two main integration scenarios. Customers can use off-the-shelf integrations available on the marketplace or create their own integrations by leveraging the ON!Track Unite open API. Developers can rely on guidance and modern API documentation on the ON!Track Unite hub to easily build scalable integrations. Construction software players can offer joint customers a pre-built integration between ON!Track and the application they develop or distribute, which can be listed on the integration marketplace.
The marketplace already includes many integrations, including Fieldwire, Trackunit, and Procore.
“This API-first approach assist in enabling integrations with other applications so that ON!Track Unite can be catered to the exact needs of every customer, providing a unified experience and unlocking new business value,” said Thibaud Lefebvre, senior director of tools services, in a prepared statement. “Customers who utilize the ON!Track Unite platform will experience a step change in how they operate their businesses because it avoids the duplication manual data entries, helps to correctly allocate asset and consumables costs, and opens the door to increased tool crib transparency. We believe this technology will help our partners make better data-driven decisions and take productivity to new heights.”
Fleet customers of Hilti’s all-new cordless tool platform, Nuron, can leverage the innovation for a fully connected experience. The tools generate data that is then stored on the Nuron batteries and sent securely to the cloud during every charge without any operator interaction. The data collected includes information on tool usage, charging location and battery state-of-health. Those insights are accessible through ON!Track and will be accessible on the ON!Track Unite open API in the near future.
