Engineering

A workshop queue that knows what's off the road, and why.

Walkaround defects, MOT renewals, parts on order and cost-per-mile - in one engineer's view. Built next to the operations app, so the duty manager always knows which vehicle is genuinely available.

What makes it different

The workshop, the fleet, and the bills - in one view.

01

MOT and tax pulled from the Government website (coming soon)

Type a registration and RouteStra will pull MOT history, tax status, vehicle class and any open recalls straight from the official UK Government website. Renewals get added to your calendar 30 days out so they never lapse. Coming soon - currently pending DVLA and DVSA API approval.

02

Walkaround checks raise defects directly

Drivers complete a digital walkaround in their browser before sign-on - phone, tablet or depot computer all work. Any failed check creates a defect on the engineer's queue with photos attached - no paper card, no defect getting lost on the windscreen.

Walkaround checks - defects flow into the engineer queue
03

Real cost analysis from real consumption

Cost per vehicle, per depot, per mile - computed from the parts you actually pulled from stock and the supplier invoices you actually paid. Not a separate report - it lives next to the defect queue, so the next decision is informed.

Cost analysis - drill from a vehicle into the parts and labour
How it works

From walkaround to repair, end-to-end.

Driver does walkaround

Photo-evidence pre-use check from the driver portal - works in any browser.

Defect lands on the queue

Failed check auto-creates a defect with photos.

Engineer triages

Open work order, allocate parts from stock, assign engineer.

Vehicle off-road

Operations sees the vehicle as unavailable in the duty builder.

Fixed and back

Mark complete; vehicle reappears in the available pool.

Use cases

Three workshop set-ups.

One engineer, one queue. Defects come in from drivers and from scheduled maintenance; work orders track progress; parts are checked out of stock as they're used.

The maintenance calendar shows what's due in the next 6 weeks - MOTs, services, tachograph calibrations - so you can plan vehicle availability around the workshop, not against it.

Common questions

Coming soon - we're awaiting DVLA and DVSA API approval. Once live, we'll pull data from the official UK Government website each time a registration is added or refreshed. Renewals will be added to your calendar 30 days out so they never lapse. Bulk back-fills (e.g. importing a 200-vehicle fleet on day one) will be queued and run overnight.
