Align, formerly ToolWatch, is an operations and asset management platform built around construction logistics. It helps teams manage tools, inventory, deliveries, and jobsite movement between warehouses, yards, and projects. With deep roots in construction logistics, Align is often used to coordinate where assets are stored, how they move, and when they’re needed on site.
Both Align and Clue serve construction companies, but they solve very different operational problems. Align is logistics-first. Its strength lies in tracking assets through warehouses, managing deliveries, and maintaining inventory accountability across jobsites.
Clue is maintenance-first. It focuses on how equipment actually operates in the field, runtime hours, faults, utilization, inspections, and cost impact and turns those signals into maintenance action. For contractors, the choice often comes down to whether the priority is moving equipment or keeping equipment productive, reliable, and cost-controlled.
