AlignOps FleetWatcher is a construction-focused telematics and tracking platform. It helps teams see equipment and vehicle location, monitor utilization and activity, and receive alerts to spot issues early, especially across materials, paving, and hauling operations.
Both AlignOps FleetWatcher and Clue provide location tracking, utilization reporting, and alerts. The difference is what you can do next.
FleetWatcher is strong for visibility and daily field coordination, with reporting that helps supervisors understand activity across trucks and equipment. It is often used when the goal is knowing what is moving, where it is, and how much it is being used.
Clue is built to manage equipment uptime end to end. It connects engine hours, fault codes, and inspection issues to PM, work orders, and service history, and adds costs, rentals, and construction workflows so teams can act, not just monitor.
