Engineering portal

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.

  • Walkaround to work order
  • Parts & cost analysis
  • Wired to operations

What makes it different

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

01

MOT and tax pulled from the Government website

Type a registration and RouteStra pulls 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.

A vehicle's MOT, tax, PSV and insurance dates on its health record, alongside its full maintenance history
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: completed checks with pass, conditional and fail results and the defects they raised
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: spend per vehicle split into labour and parts, and spend by category
How it works

From walkaround to repair, end-to-end.

Driver completes walkaround check

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

We pull data from the official UK Government website each time a registration is added or refreshed. Renewals are added to your calendar 30 days out so they never lapse. Bulk back-fills (e.g. importing a 200-vehicle fleet on day one) are queued and run overnight.
