Fleet tools built for UK field service teams

Generic fleet tools can track vehicles, but contractors also need vehicle checks to connect with engineer workflows, job readiness, field documentation and office follow-up. Field Ascend keeps the fleet workflow inside your wider field service management platform.

Vehicle register

Store registration, make, model, status, warranty, insurance, service, mileage, tyre details, purchase information and supporting documents against each service vehicle.

Engineer assignment

Assign vehicles to staff profiles and engineers so the app knows which vehicle belongs to which field worker and which checks or data requests should appear.

Document storage

Attach service records, inspection records, registration documents, ownership documents and other files to the vehicle record for easier fleet administration.

Request missing vehicle data from the engineer who has the vehicle

When a vehicle is out in the field, the office may not know the latest mileage, tyre pressure details or other vehicle information. Field Ascend lets the office send a focused data request to the assigned engineer instead of chasing by phone or message.

Choose the fields

Select the vehicle details you need, such as current mileage, engine capacity, service mileage or recommended tyre pressure.

Engineer completes the request

The request appears in the mobile app on the engineer's vehicle tile, with each required field ready to complete.

The vehicle record updates

Once submitted, the office can refresh the vehicle record and see the updated details stored against the vehicle.

Vehicle data requests help the office collect missing information from the person with the vehicle.

Scheduled vehicle checks from the engineer app

Create recurring vehicle checks for daily, weekly or scheduled inspection routines. The same mobile app your engineers use for jobs can also collect fleet check information before the day begins.

Engineers can open their assigned vehicle, see due checks and submit checklist answers from the field.

Build the checklist your business needs

Vehicle checks can combine actual vehicle fields with custom checklist questions, so the same check can update the vehicle record and capture inspection answers.

Frequency-based checklists such as daily or weekly checks
Fields that update the vehicle record, including current mileage
Custom yes/no, number, text, dropdown and multi-select questions
Optional comments for more context on checklist answers
Branching questions when a follow-up question is needed
Forced completion for businesses that need checks completed before work starts

Need a deeper, scored monthly or quarterly review of the van rather than a daily walk-around? That is site audit software, which also covers sites, equipment and operatives.

Review check results and spot problems fast

Completed vehicle checks are visible on the office side, so a fleet manager or administrator can see what was completed, which engineer submitted it, the mileage recorded and whether issues were raised.

Green when there are no issues

Clean checks give the office confidence that the assigned vehicle check was completed and no immediate issue was reported.

History stays with the vehicle

Previous checks remain available for review, creating a practical audit trail for recurring vehicle inspection routines.

Check results give the office a simple way to review completed vehicle inspections.

File a vehicle accident report from the assigned van

Daily checks catch a cracked light. An accident report is a different form. The office designs it. The driver fills it on the phone they already use for jobs. Submit locks the answers, gives the report a number and builds a PDF.

Design the form once

The office builds the accident form in the vehicle report designer, using the same canvas used for certificates. Text, dates, yes/no, signatures and photo fields are available. Activate the template and drivers can start a report against a van.

Fill it where the van is

Engineers start from Accident on the assigned vehicle in the engineers app. Office staff with an assigned vehicle use the Vehicle tab in the admin app. Get the Admin app: iOS · Android. Fleet managers can also start one from the vehicle record or the Accident Reports list on the admin website.

Photos stay with the report

Photo fields upload from the form. The submitted PDF includes those photos. Drivers do not send a separate folder of pictures afterwards.

Submit locks it

A draft stays editable. Submit numbers the report, locks the answers and stores the PDF on the vehicle. The office can void a submitted report and leave a reason.

Email is on by default

Accident report email starts on. The PDF goes to the same To and CC list used for other vehicle notifications, unless you set a fleet manager override list. You can switch the email off in vehicle notification settings, or on an individual template. The PDF still sits on the vehicle record either way.

The engineers app and the admin app only show the assigned vehicle. The full fleet list, the form designer and the full Accident Reports list stay on the admin website. Get the Admin app: iOS · Android.

Traffic-light warnings for MOT, road tax, service and insurance dates

Field Ascend helps the office see which vehicles need attention soon. Instead of burying vehicle dates in a spreadsheet, the vehicle list highlights upcoming and overdue issues in the same system your team already uses.

What the office can monitor

MOT due dates
Road tax due dates
Insurance renewal dates
Breakdown cover expiry dates where used
Next service due date
Next service due mileage compared with current mileage

Notification settings let businesses configure warning windows and who receives vehicle-related emails.

Fleet warnings help office teams act before service vehicles fall out of compliance or miss scheduled maintenance.

Part of the full contractor workflow, not a disconnected fleet spreadsheet

Field Ascend fleet tools connect naturally with the rest of your field service management software, so dispatch, engineers, jobs and vehicle readiness stay in the same operational system.

Disconnected fleet tracking

Vehicle records in spreadsheets
Paper checks or photos sent by WhatsApp
Accident notes in a group chat
Office chases engineers for mileage
MOT, road tax and service dates missed until late
No clean link between field workers and assigned vehicles

Can an engineer update mileage from the app?

Yes. Engineers can update mileage from the assigned vehicle screen or through a vehicle check or data request, depending on how the workflow is configured.
