Dovetail

A single platform built to manage, provision, and assure fleets across the most demanding environments.

Scaling device management is a time-consuming, manual headache.

The rapid expansion in deploying devices at the operational edge is outpacing the ability to manage and sustain these systems effectively.

Disparate hardware and vendor-specific systems make provisioning, visibility, and through-life support harder as fleets grow. This forces a choice: fragmented manual effort or leaving high-value capability on the shelf.

Introducing Dovetail.

Total offline fleet management behind a single pane of glass.

Custom engineering from us

Rowden’s forward deployed engineers establish fleet hierarchies and mission profiles with you on site, so the platform works the way your fleet does.

Minimal training burden for you

The same workflow applies to every device, so operators learn one system instead of many, and stay focused on the tactical picture rather than the technical detail.

Two customer deployments. Two years apart.

Provisioning 50 devices for a Rowden customer once took one engineer a week and a half. Weeks like that are why Dovetail exists. On a second customer’s deployment, the same job now takes just one hour.

Visibility across edge and enterprise deployments

Use case 1: A self-contained deployment

Disconnected edge nodes, each provisioning and managing its own fleet, with no dependency on the enterprise.

Use case 2: A connected deployment

Multiple edge nodes sharing configurations and fleet state for a single organisational picture.

Dovetail across sectors

Dovetail for defence

Devices are issued across dispersed units and operate disconnected for long periods. Dovetail runs at the edge throughout, managing the fleet locally, with updates pushed and device records captured as they are plugged back in.

Dovetail for emergency services

Kit is shared between shifts, crews, and stations, so ownership changes hourly. Dovetail holds one unified record of every device, its configuration, and status, so a duty officer can confirm fleet readiness at handover without taking anything out of service.

Dovetail for critical national infrastructure

Remote sensors and devices often sit in unmanned sites, and confirming their state usually means dealing with fragmented information. Dovetail delivers a single workflow for tracking, auditing, and reporting on device information, giving users central visibility of their fleet.
