178 Caterpillar is launching a mobile app designed to allow customers to take advantage of equipment telematics data. The new Cat App delivers simplified, streamlined data directly to mobile devices, helping customers monitor machine location and health, react faster to fault codes and maximise machine uptime.


The new Cat App is optimised for contractors who need to track critical machine operating data from the field. This new tool gives customers an easy way to monitor their entire fleet, request parts and service, and connect with their Cat dealer from the work site. The location of all equipment tracked by the app is displayed on the mobile device, along with machine operating hours, health and utilisation data.

Designed for machine owners worldwide, Cat App users can choose from 35 different languages. It is available on both iOS and Android operating systems and can be downloaded from Apple iTunes or Google Play store.
