Ambulance inspection and unit readiness software for EMS agencies
Every unit inspected before it goes out. Every issue documented before a crew inherits it. Every shift handoff on record. PSTrax gives EMS agencies the ambulance inspection system that paper never could.
The unit readiness gap EMS agencies carry
An ambulance inspection that gets rushed at shift change, documented after the fact, or skipped entirely creates more than a paperwork gap. It sets a crew up to go out on a call with an equipment issue they did not know about, or a supply that was not restocked after the previous call.
EMS unit inspections cover more than most fleet inspections: mechanical condition, onboard equipment, drug inventory, medical supply levels, and the items required under agency protocol. When that inspection runs on a paper checklist, supervisors have no real-time visibility and incoming crews have no verified record of what the outgoing crew found. The documentation that matters most when something goes wrong is the least reliable part of the system.
How PSTrax manages ambulance inspections and unit readiness
Unit-specific inspection workflows
Inspection checklists are configured for each ambulance type and agency protocol. Crews complete inspections from any phone or tablet. Every item is captured at the point of inspection, not reconstructed at the end of a shift.
Onboard equipment and supply verification
Unit inspections cover mechanical condition alongside onboard equipment status, drug inventory, and medical supply levels in a single workflow. Nothing falls through a gap between separate inspection systems.
Shift handoff documentation
Outgoing crews document unit status before ending their shift. Incoming crews see exactly what was inspected, what was flagged, and what needs attention before going out on the next call. Nothing depends on a verbal handoff that may or may not happen.
Real-time unit status
Supervisors see unit status across the entire fleet from a single dashboard. Units in service, out of service, and pending inspection are all visible without phone calls or shift reports.
Timestamped, attributed records
Every completed inspection is timestamped and attributed to the crew member who completed it. When a question arises about a unit's condition at the time of an incident, the record is there.
Built for ambulance inspections, not generic fleet software
PSTrax was built specifically for EMS operational workflows, not adapted from a generic fleet management tool. Ambulance inspection checklists reflect the specific documentation requirements of EMS operations, including onboard equipment and drug inventory alongside mechanical condition. Every agency goes live with a system configured for their unit types, protocols, and inspection schedules. Most are operational within a few weeks with no specialist hardware required.
“I would highly recommend PSTrax to all agencies as it has streamlined our program and allowed us to better track the systems that we are dealing with and the medications that are on hand.”
"PSTrax has been a force multiplier for our agency. We were able to see a 70% reduction in EMS waste when using PSTrax. The staff at PSTrax are fantastic, and the support is incredible."
“The biggest value is taking a ton of formal and informal systems and putting them into one collective effort that provides information from the executive chief level all the way down to the user.”

Frequently Asked Questions: Apparatus & Vehicles
-
Do inspections cover onboard equipment and supplies?
Yes. Unit inspections verify onboard equipment and supply levels alongside mechanical condition, in one workflow.
-
Can crews complete inspections at the unit?
Crews complete inspections on a phone or tablet at the ambulance, with required items confirmed before the form can be submitted.
-
How does shift handoff work?
Outgoing crews document unit status at shift end and incoming crews see exactly what was inspected and what was flagged. Nothing depends on a verbal handoff.
-
Will the records support a state inspection?
Every entry is timestamped and attributed, and unit history is reportable on demand, so documentation is available when an inspector asks.
