Engineering fleet management
Dispatch the right engineer faster, prove response times, and capture job data on site. Fleet management software built for engineering companies managing reactive callouts and planned maintenance.
Engineering operations demand faster response
Engineering businesses juggle reactive breakdowns that need an engineer on site within hours with preventive maintenance that can’t slip. When a critical system fails at 8am, the client expects someone there by 10am.
Miss that window and confidence drops. Facilities managers want evidence, not estimates: the right engineer dispatched quickly and timestamped proof of when they arrived.
Missed SLA windows
Sending whoever’s free rather than whoever’s closest, or whoever has the right skills, eats into a two-hour response window. Miss it too often and the contract comes up for review.
No proof of arrival times
When a facilities manager says your engineer was late, it’s your word against theirs. Without timestamped arrival records, disputed response times are hard to win.
Missing details
Job sheets written up at the end of the day, or the end of the week, are missing parts, times and photos. The detail the client needs is often the detail that got forgotten.
No security tracking
Diagnostic and test equipment can be worth more than the van carrying it. If a van is taken overnight, you lose the kit and the next day’s jobs.
Reactive callouts
An emergency breakdown pulls an engineer off a planned visit, and the PM schedule slips. Do that a few times a week and planned work starts falling behind.
Invoices delayed
Incomplete or lost job records mean invoices sit waiting while someone chases the details. That’s cash you’ve earned but can’t collect yet.
Fleet management built for field service engineers
RAM's solutions give engineering businesses the tools to dispatch accurately, capture job data, and run responsive operations.
Live fleet visibility for engineers
Meeting a 2-hour SLA often comes down to knowing who is genuinely closest, not who left the office first. Live fleet tracking shows you exactly where every engineer is, so you can dispatch accurately.
Key features:
- Real-time engineer locations for accurate dispatch decisions
- Timestamped proof of arrival times for contract reviews
- Security alerts if vans move at 3am or equipment disappears
- Historical journey data for disputed response time claims
Dash cams for engineering fleets
Engineering vans constantly move between sites, often under time pressure in busy areas. Connected dash cams automatically capture incidents, helping you resolve claims faster, protect against false liability, and improve driver safety.
Key features:
- Automatic video capture for incidents and disputes
- Protection against false or disputed liability
- Insights to identify and reduce unsafe driving
- Improve road safety and reduce costly accidents
Mobile job management for engineers
Paperwork should not slow down reactive maintenance or planned service work. When job details are written up hours later, records are missed, and invoices are delayed.
Klipboard job management software captures everything while engineers are still on site:
- Photos of equipment condition and completed work
- Parts used and materials consumed on each job
- Time spent on site and job status updates in real-time
- Customer signatures and sign-off captured digitally
Digital vehicle checks for engineering fleets
Engineering vans cover high mileage carrying heavy kit. A defect missed on a Monday morning walkaround can take a van, and an engineer, off the road for the day. Digital checks make sure every vehicle is checked, every defect is reported and every repair is recorded.
Track and monitor:
- Digital walkaround checks completed in under 2 minutes
- Defect reports sent directly to the office with photos
- Automatic compliance records for inspections
- Fleet maintenance history tracked for every vehicle in your fleet
What engineering companies get
Faster engineer dispatch
See who can realistically reach site quickest and respond to breakdowns without delay. Job scheduling lets you filter by skills and availability too, so the closest engineer is also the right one.
Same-day invoicing
Job completion data flows back immediately, reducing billing delays caused by missing paperwork.
Equipment security
Get geofencing 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.

Frequently asked questions from engineering firms
No. If they can use a smartphone, they can use our software. Most engineers are capturing job details and photos within a day of starting. The tracking happens automatically; they don't need to do anything.
The Klipboard job management app 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 the Klipboard job management software, 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.
