Klipboard, the global business management software platform that was initially acquired by Kerridge Commercial Systems (KCS) in July 2024 before KCS recently rebranded to adopt the Klipboard name, has completed the acquisition of RAM Tracking, marking a strategic expansion of its capabilities in the facilities management software sector.
The acquisition brings RAM Tracking’s advanced cloud-based mobile work management solutions into Klipboard’s technology stack, adding robust capabilities including job management, scheduling, vehicle tracking, video monitoring, fleet management, and driver compliance to its existing portfolio.
RAM Tracking has established itself as a key player by helping companies optimise their field operations through smarter asset management, reduced fuel costs and emissions, minimised unplanned downtime, theft prevention, increased worker productivity, and safer driving practices that often result in lower insurance premiums.
Currently serving more than 22,000 SMB customers throughout Europe and North America, RAM Tracking processes millions of data points daily, transforming raw information into practical insights that enable facilities managers to make informed operational decisions.
This acquisition enhances Klipboard’s position in the business management software market, complementing its comprehensive suite of solutions for managing physical and field operations, which now encompasses field services management, asset tracking, logistics, and rental software solutions offered to clients worldwide.
“When I founded Klipboard, it was born from a belief that technology should simplify complexity, not add to it. We built software that felt intuitive, empowering field service businesses to focus on growth, not paperwork.” Draven McConville, Founder of Klipboard who sold the company to Kerridge Commercial Systems in 2024
“I am delighted to announce we are joining forces with KCS. The combination represents an opportunity to provide a broader SMB product suite to our customers, hastening the pace at which we can provide innovative technology and products supporting our clients to maximise efficiency and productivity and therefore, their profit generation capabilities. For our team, this represents an exciting opportunity to grow together with the larger global organisation that is KCS and work towards the goal of becoming a leading provider of software solutions and data insights to manage field operations.” Nick McClellan, Chief Executive Officer of RAM Tracking
“We are excited to welcome RAM Tracking to KCS. This acquisition provides our customers in the retail, distribution, servicing, manufacturing and rental trades a more comprehensive solution to manage their physical operations. With this acquisition, we demonstrate our commitment to support the digital transformation of our customers’ operations by enabling our clients with fleets and equipment or who provide delivery, logistics or field service to efficiently manage and increase productivity via our software and data insights.” Ian Bendelow, CEO of Klipboard
The acquisition is expected to deliver significant benefits to facilities managers across the UK who are increasingly seeking integrated digital solutions to streamline complex operations, control costs, and meet sustainability targets in a competitive market.
