eMaint is a CMMS used to manage maintenance work. Teams use it to create work orders, schedule preventive maintenance, and track assets and service history. It also supports request intake, technician assignments, and reporting, which helps supervisors standardize PM routines and audit completed work easily.
Both eMaint and Clue support PM, inspections, work orders, and service tracking. The difference is what each tool is built to run.
eMaint is a general CMMS. It works well for teams that want a structured system for scheduling and documenting maintenance across many asset types.
Clue is built for construction equipment operations. It connects maintenance to equipment usage and supports tracking and utilization, so equipment teams can manage the fleet across jobsites in one system. Clue can also tie inspections, PM schedules, and work orders to engine hours and field issues, reducing downtime faster overall.
