The roadside platform that automotive locksmiths run their business on
Apex RMS is already used by mobile automotive locksmiths across the UK to dispatch faster, record every job accurately, and get paid without chasing paperwork. One platform. Everything you need. Built for the road.
The All-in-One Solution
Apex RMS is a proven roadside field service platform — already used by mobile automotive locksmiths, vehicle recovery businesses, and specialist roadside services across the UK and Ireland. If your business runs on callouts, RMS gives you everything you need to manage jobs, dispatch quickly, and run a tight operation from a single system.
From real-time callout allocation and automated invoicing to technician tracking, digital job records, and compliance, RMS handles the back-office so your team can focus on the job. Over 1,000 operators across the UK and Ireland already use Apex RMS to run their roadside services. Whether you’re a sole trader taking emergency callouts or managing a team across fleet contracts and insurer work, it works the way you do — and grows with you.
For your Clients
Being locked out of a vehicle is stressful — often at the worst possible moment. Your customers need to know help is confirmed and on its way. Apex RMS lets you send an automated SMS the moment a technician is allocated, share a live tracking link so customers can follow progress in real time, and capture a digital record of the work completed at sign-off. For fleet managers and insurance clients, every job is logged accurately and available on demand. Every interaction is faster, more professional, and more reassuring — which means stronger client relationships and more repeat business.
For your Business
Automotive locksmith callouts move fast — and your management system should too. Apex RMS gives you a real-time view of every active job, allocates callouts to the nearest available technician, and generates invoices automatically the moment the work is done. No end-of-day admin backlog, no chasing paperwork, no billing delays. Digital job records — including key type, vehicle details, and method used — protect you in any insurance query or fleet account dispute, and built-in compliance tools keep your vehicles and team operating legally. The result is an operation that responds faster, runs tighter, and gets paid sooner.
Features & Benefits
RMS Feature
Mobile App for Your Technicians
Your technicians can accept lockout and key programming jobs, update status at every stage, log the work carried out — including key type, vehicle make, and method used — and record customer sign-off directly from their device. Everything captured in real time, nothing relying on memory or paper dockets back at the office.
Paperless Job Records
Every automotive locksmith callout is recorded digitally — vehicle details, location, job type, work carried out, time on site, and customer sign-off. Whether it’s a consumer lockout, a key programming job, or a fleet account callout, the full record is accurate, timestamped, and accessible instantly from anywhere.
Automated Invoicing and Reporting
When a job closes, the invoice goes out automatically — built from the details your technician logged in the field. RMS handles different rate structures for consumer callouts, fleet accounts, and insurer work within the same system, with no manual adjustment needed. Performance reports show response times, job volumes, and revenue by account, giving you a clear picture of how the business is running.

Tailor Apex RMS to Meet Your Business Needs
Apex RMS is a modular platform — it comes with everything you need to get started, and you can add proven features as your business grows. The add-ons below are already used across roadside service businesses in the UK. Pick what fits your operation and leave the rest.
Customer Tracking for Peace of Mind
Being locked out — especially at night or somewhere unfamiliar — is an anxious experience. Give customers a live view of exactly where your technician is and how long they'll be. It reduces call-backs, builds confidence, and makes the wait far less stressful.
Stay Connected with Your Customers
Being locked out is stressful — especially when someone doesn't know how long they'll be waiting. Apex RMS lets you message customers directly with updates at every stage, so they know a technician is allocated, on the way, and close. A straightforward way to deliver a calmer, more professional experience.
Pinpoint Their Location Instantly
Lockouts often happen in car parks, side streets, or unfamiliar locations that are hard to describe over the phone. With PinPoint, customers simply tap a link to share their precise location — your technician gets it directly, finds them first time, and wastes no time searching.
Real-Time Vehicle Tracking
When a callout comes in, knowing exactly where your technicians are means you can dispatch the right person in seconds rather than minutes. The live tracking dashboard shows every technician's location in real time — so you always send the nearest available person and keep response times as tight as possible.
Only Pay for what you Need
Apex RMS works with mobile locksmith businesses of all sizes — from a sole trader taking emergency callouts to a team managing fleet contracts and insurer work across multiple areas. No lock-ins, no hidden fees. With a flexible, modular approach, you only pay for the features that apply to your operation. You're also joining a network of over 1,000 roadside service operators already on the platform — which means proven software, an active development roadmap, and a support team that understands field service businesses.
