Engineering fleet management is about more than knowing where vans are. It’s about getting the right engineer to the site fast, proving response times, and keeping maintenance contracts running smoothly.
When a facilities manager reports a breakdown at 8am, they expect an engineer on site by 10am. Miss that window, and confidence drops quickly. For engineering companies working to strict SLAs, coordination failures cost time, margin and long-term contracts.
RAM Tracking helps engineering businesses manage mobile engineers, vehicles and jobs with clarity, so you can run a responsive operation instead of constantly reacting to issues.
Standard fleet tracking tells you where vehicles are, but engineering fleet management needs more than just dots on a map.
You’re balancing reactive callouts with planned preventative maintenance, moving high-value diagnostic equipment between sites, and proving to facilities managers that response times were met. Engineers often work across multiple locations in a day, and poor coordination leads to missed appointments, repeat visits and frustrated clients.
Engineering operations need fleet management software built around field service work, not simple vehicle journeys.
In engineering fleet management, meeting a 2-hour SLA often comes down to knowing who is genuinely closest, not who left the office first.
Live vehicle tracking shows you exactly where every engineer is, so you can dispatch accurately. You'll also have timestamped proof of arrival times for contract reviews and disputed invoices. And if a van moves at 3am, you'll know about it before £10,000 of test equipment disappears.
Engineering vans are constantly moving between sites, often under time pressure and in busy areas. When something goes wrong on the road or at a customer location, you need clear evidence of what actually happened.
Connected dash cams capture incidents automatically, giving you reliable footage to resolve insurance claims faster and protect your business from false or disputed liability. They also help you spot unsafe driving early.
Fleet News data shows that AI dash cam footage cuts risky driving behaviour by up to 95%, helping you improve road safety and reduce costly accidents.
Paperwork should not slow down reactive maintenance or planned service work. When job details are written up hours later, records are missed, invoices are delayed and proving work becomes harder than it should be.
Klipboard job management software captures everything while engineers are still on site, giving the office instant visibility and a complete audit trail for every job.
Engineers can record:
Faster engineer dispatch
See who can realistically reach site quickest and respond to breakdowns without delay.
Same day invoicing
Job completion data flows back immediately, reducing billing delays caused by missing paperwork.
Equipment security
Get alerts for out-of-hours vehicle movement to help protect expensive diagnostic and testing equipment.
SLA proof and reporting
Access timestamped arrival data and job history instantly when facilities managers request evidence.
No. If they can use a smartphone, they can use Klipboard. Most engineers are capturing job details and photos within a day of starting. The tracking happens automatically; they don't need to do anything.
Klipboard works offline. Engineers capture all the job details, photos and signatures without signal. Everything syncs back to the office once they're in range again. Vehicle tracking continues working and catches up when the signal returns.
Yes. You get timestamped GPS data showing when engineers arrived and left. This data is accepted by facilities managers and can be pulled instantly for contract reviews or disputed invoices.
Set up recurring maintenance visits once in Klipboard, and it generates jobs automatically for each site on the right dates. Combined with vehicle tracking, you can see which engineer is closest to sites due for service and dispatch efficiently.
You can get alerts for out-of-hours movement, entering or leaving specific areas (like your depot), speeding, harsh braking, or idling. Critical for protecting the high-value diagnostic equipment that engineering vans carry.
Many engineering companies lose time through poor dispatch decisions, delayed paperwork and unclear response records. Engineering fleet management should give you control, not add complexity.
RAM Tracking helps you understand where your engineers are, what work is being completed, and whether SLAs are being met, all backed by reliable, timestamped data. Over 500 engineering companies already use RAM Tracking to run more responsive, accountable operations.
