Engineer Completes Check Sheet

On-site, the engineer uses the mobile app to complete equipment-specific digital check sheets—even offline in basements or plant rooms.

3

Defects Create Follow-up Work

Any defects logged against the asset can be converted into follow-up quotes or jobs, ensuring issues are tracked to resolution.

4

Invoice and Sync

Once complete, generate an invoice automatically and optionally sync to Xero for seamless accounting.

HVAC Scheduling and Dispatch Software

HVAC scheduling and dispatch software is essential for contractors juggling emergency call-outs alongside planned maintenance. Field Ascend's visual scheduling tools help dispatchers assign the right engineer to each job based on skills, location, and availability.

Integrated with our engineer scheduling software, dispatchers see real-time engineer availability and job progress, making it straightforward to respond to customer requests and last-minute changes.

Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Service Software

Air conditioning and refrigeration service software requires specialised features that generic job management tools lack. Field Ascend includes purpose-built functionality for AC and refrigeration contractors:

  • Refrigerant tracking – Log quantities added, recovered, and system charges with cylinder serial numbers for F-Gas compliance
  • Leak check scheduling – Automated reminders for statutory leak checks based on refrigerant charge and equipment type
  • Temperature logging – Record operating temperatures and pressures during service visits
  • Asset-specific check sheets – Different templates for split systems, VRF/VRV, chillers, cold rooms, and display cabinets
  • Defect-to-quote workflow – Convert identified issues directly into customer quotes without re-entering data

Whether you service commercial kitchens, retail cold chains, or office comfort cooling, Field Ascend handles the compliance and operational requirements specific to refrigeration and air conditioning work. You can also track your own calibrated instruments — pressure gauges, refrigerant scales and leak detectors — with our built-in tool and calibration tracking.

HVAC Maintenance Contract Software

HVAC maintenance contract software helps you manage service agreements, PPM schedules, and renewal dates across your customer base. Field Ascend links contracts to sites and equipment, ensuring every covered asset receives scheduled maintenance.

Our PPM software UK ensures preventive maintenance happens on time, reducing equipment failures and strengthening customer relationships through reliable service delivery. Explore the full capabilities on our planned preventive maintenance software page.

PPM Scheduling & Contract Management (Asset-Based)

Create and manage planned preventive maintenance software UK schedules tied directly to equipment assets. Our PPM software ensures every boiler, chiller, and air handling unit receives timely maintenance:

Digital HVAC Check Sheets (Per Equipment Type)

Replace paper forms with intelligent digital check sheets accessible via our mobile engineer app. Each equipment type gets its own tailored template:

HVAC Compliance Software: F-Gas & Refrigerant Tracking

HVAC compliance software is critical for contractors working with refrigerants. Field Ascend includes a purpose-built F-Gas compliance module with per-equipment digital logbooks, automatic CO₂e calculation, and leak check scheduling—built directly into your job workflow:

  • Per-equipment refrigerant logging – Record charges, top-ups, recoveries, leak checks, and decommissions against individual assets with engineer attribution and UTC timestamps
  • Auto CO₂e & running charge – System calculates CO₂ equivalent from GWP and maintains a running charge total. No spreadsheets needed
  • Leak check scheduling – Automatic next-check dates based on 5t/50t/500t CO₂e thresholds per F-Gas regulations. Dashboard alerts for overdue and due-soon checks
  • Force rules on job completion – Block engineers from closing jobs until every refrigerant-bearing piece of equipment has an F-Gas log entry
  • PPM integration – Engineers can complete F-Gas logs during PPM check completion, giving two entry points for compliance data
  • Customer portal access – Give your clients direct access to their equipment's refrigerant history and CSV downloads for their own auditors
  • Works offline – Engineers log F-Gas data in plant rooms and basements with no signal. Everything syncs automatically when connectivity returns
  • Audit-ready reporting – Filter by customer, site, gas type, engineer, or date range. Export CSV for Environment Agency inspections

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we set different PPM check sheets per equipment type?

Yes. Field Ascend allows you to create customised digital check sheets for each equipment type—boilers, chillers, AHUs, heat pumps, VRF systems, and more. Each template can have unique fields, conditional logic, and photo requirements specific to that asset category.

Can one job include multiple assets at a site?

Absolutely. You can structure jobs either as one-job-per-asset (ideal for detailed individual servicing) or multiple-assets-per-job (perfect for site visits where an engineer services several units in one trip). Both workflows are fully supported.

Does the app work offline in plant rooms?

Yes. Our mobile app is built offline-first, meaning engineers can access job details, complete check sheets, capture photos, and record work done even with no signal. Data syncs automatically when connectivity returns.

Can we track F-Gas and refrigerant usage and certificates?

Yes. Field Ascend includes a dedicated F-Gas compliance module with per-equipment refrigerant logging, auto CO₂e calculation, running charge tracking, and automatic leak check scheduling based on regulatory thresholds. Engineers can log charges, top-ups, recoveries, and leak checks on jobs and during PPM visits—even offline. Force rules block job completion until F-Gas data is captured, and your customers can access their equipment's refrigerant history via the customer portal.

Can defects generate follow-up quotes?

Yes. When engineers log defects during a service visit, these can be converted directly into follow-up quotes or jobs. You can track defect status from identification through quotation to resolution, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

Can we import assets in bulk from Excel?

Yes. Field Ascend supports bulk asset imports via CSV/Excel, making it straightforward to migrate your existing equipment register. Map columns to fields, review the import preview, and bring thousands of assets online quickly.

How do we migrate from spreadsheets or another system?

Field Ascend supports CSV/Excel imports for customers, sites, assets, and contacts. Most teams complete migration within a few days. Our support team can guide you through mapping fields and validating data before go-live.

Can we manage multi-site commercial customers?

Yes. Field Ascend handles customers with hundreds of sites. Each site has its own asset register, PPM schedule, and contact list. You can report across the entire customer portfolio or drill down to individual locations.

What compliance packs and certificates can we generate?

Field Ascend generates service reports, PPM certificates, F-Gas compliance logs, and defect reports. You can export evidence packs filtered by site, date range, or equipment type—ready for customer audits or regulatory inspections.

How do engineers record timesheets and job sheets?

Engineers use the mobile app to log travel, onsite, and return times. Digital job sheets capture work done, parts used, photos, and signatures. All data syncs to the office automatically for payroll, invoicing, and reporting.

Does Field Ascend integrate with accounting software?

Yes. Field Ascend integrates with Xero for seamless invoice sync. Completed jobs flow directly to invoices with labour, parts, and VAT calculated—reducing double entry and speeding up payments.
