Clue Vs B2W Track
B2W Track Overview
B2W Track is a field tracking and daily reporting system for heavy civil construction. Teams use it to capture timecards, equipment hours, quantities, and production by job and cost code. It helps standardize daily reports and move field data to the office for job cost and performance tracking. It also fits well if you already use other B2W tools.
How It Compares to Clue
Both B2W Track and Clue help teams understand equipment activity and where time is being spent. The difference is what each product is built to manage day to day.
B2W Track is good for teams that want structured daily field reporting. It focuses on collecting jobsite data like labor, production, and equipment time and turning it into clean cost and progress reporting. Most of the workflow depends on what crews enter each day.
Clue is built for equipment management across the full lifecycle. It connects equipment details, telematics data, utilization, maintenance, inspections, and work orders in one place. Instead of relying only on manual reporting, Clue can use live equipment signals like engine hours and fault codes to drive maintenance planning and prioritize work, so teams spend less time chasing updates and more time keeping the fleet running.

Platform Capabilities Overview
| Feature / Capability | How it works (The Workflow) | Clue | B2W Track |
|---|---|---|---|
| Equipment / Asset Tracking | Track all owned, rented, and leased assets across jobsites with full lifecycle history. | ✔Owned, rented, leased -- full lifecycle | ⚠Field time and cost tracking -- not full asset lifecycle management |
| GPS / Telematics | Real-time GPS location, engine hours, and movement history from OEM and third-party devices. | ✔OEM + third-party hardware | ✖No telematics -- field logs only |
| Work Orders | Create, assign, and close maintenance and repair work orders with parts and labor tracking. | ✔Full WO lifecycle with parts, labor, photos | ✖Work orders require B2W Maintain -- separate product |
| Preventive Maintenance (PM) | Schedule recurring maintenance based on hours, mileage, calendar dates, or custom intervals. | ✔Hours, miles, calendar -- multi-trigger PM | ✖PM requires B2W Maintain -- not included in Track |
| Parts & Inventory | Manage spare parts, set reorder points, and link parts consumption to work orders. | ✔Parts catalog, reorder alerts, WO linkage | ✖No parts or inventory management in Track |
| Inspections | Digital pre-trip and custom inspections with photo, video, and defect capture. | ✔Photos, video, custom forms, defect logging | ✖No inspection forms -- field log capture only |
| Fuel Management | Track fuel consumption per asset, flag excessive usage, and integrate with fuel card providers. | ✔Fuel logs, card integrations, cost per hour | ✖No fuel management |
| Dispatch / Scheduling | Assign assets and crews to jobsites, plan deliveries, and manage daily schedules. | ✔Drag-and-drop dispatch with calendar view | ✖Dispatch requires B2W Schedule -- separate product |
| Fault Codes / Diagnostics | Receive DTC fault codes from connected equipment and route them to work orders automatically. | ✔OEM fault codes with auto WO creation | ✖No fault code or diagnostic features |
| Idle Time & Cost Tracking | Flag excessive idling, calculate idle fuel cost, and surface by asset or jobsite. | ✔Idle alerts with dollar cost per hour | ✖No idle or utilization tracking without telematics |
| AI-Powered Features | AI recommendations for maintenance scheduling, anomaly detection, and fleet optimization. | ✔AI report builder, smart PM recommendations | ✖No AI features |
| OEM Telematics Integration | Pull live telematics data directly from OEM APIs -- Cat, Komatsu, Deere, Volvo, and more. | ✔30+ OEM integrations via direct API | ✖No OEM telematics -- manual field log entry |
| ERP / Accounting Integration | Sync asset data, job costs, and work orders with ERPs like Vista, CMiC, and Sage. | ✔Vista, CMiC, Sage, HCSS, and more | ✔Vista, Spectrum, Sage integrations via B2W ONE suite |
| Mobile App | Field crews use mobile to log inspections, fuel, defects, and hours from any device. | ✔iOS & Android -- full offline mode | ✔iOS & Android -- field log entry with offline sync |
| Offline Mode | Continue capturing data in areas without cell coverage -- sync automatically when reconnected. | ✔Full offline -- all forms work without signal | ✔Offline field log capture with auto-sync |
| Reporting & Analytics | Pre-built and custom reports on utilization, costs, downtime, and fleet performance. | ✔Custom reports + AI-generated insights | ⚠Field log and cost reports -- no equipment health or maintenance analytics |
| Custom Dashboards | Build role-specific dashboards for managers, dispatchers, and executives. | ✔Drag-and-drop widgets per role | ✖No custom dashboards |
| Job Costing / Cost Codes | Assign equipment hours and costs to project cost codes for accurate job financials. | ✔Cost codes linked to assets and WOs | ✔Core function -- field time and cost by cost code |
| CO2 / Emissions Tracking | Estimate carbon emissions per asset and project to support sustainability reporting. | ✔Emissions estimates by asset and fleet | ✖No CO2 or emissions features |
| WhatsApp / SMS Alerts | Push critical alerts -- fault codes, PM due, idle thresholds -- via WhatsApp or SMS. | ✔WhatsApp + SMS + email alerts | ✖No WhatsApp or SMS alert features |
| Direct SQL Access | Ability to query raw database for specialized custom reporting and data exports. | ✔Available for enterprise customers | ✖ |
| Implementation Time | Time from contract to having live data and active users in the system. | ✔Hours -- same-day onboarding available | ✖Weeks -- Trimble implementation engagement required |
| Training & Onboarding | Structured onboarding with dedicated support to get your team productive fast. | ✔Dedicated CSM + in-app training | ⚠Trimble training program -- paid implementation services |
| Customer Support | Ongoing live support from a team that knows construction fleet operations. | ✔US-based support + dedicated success team | ⚠Trimble support -- shared across large product portfolio |
| Construction-Specific | Built for the workflows of heavy civil and specialty construction -- not adapted from another industry. | ✔Purpose-built for construction fleets | ✔Field tracking for heavy civil and infrastructure contractors |
| Open API | REST API access so you can connect Clue data to your own BI tools, ERP, or custom apps. | ✔Full REST API with documentation | ⚠API access via Trimble -- documentation limited |
* B2W Track is a field tracking and field log product -- part of the Trimble B2W ONE suite. Work orders, dispatch, and PM each require separate B2W products (Maintain, Schedule, Maintain). Clue delivers all of these capabilities -- plus telematics, fault codes, and AI insights -- in a single unified platform, without requiring multiple product licenses or Trimble implementation services.
