Field service software, built for diesel.

Short answer: General field service software is built for trades like HVAC and plumbing. Diesel road service also needs unit records by VIN, fleet approvals, heavy parts on service trucks and repair-line write-ups. MetaFleet combines field dispatch with heavy-duty shop software.

Does MetaFleet handle in-shop work too?

Yes, bays and service trucks run on one board.
