Clue Vs Fieldwire

Fieldwire Overview

Fieldwire is a field management app for construction projects. Teams use it to view plans, create and assign tasks, manage punch lists, track RFIs, and share photos and notes from the jobsite.

How It Compares to Clue

Fieldwire and Clue can both support field teams. The difference is what each product is built to run day to day.

Fieldwire is project focused. It helps superintendents and foremen keep work moving with plan markups, task lists, checklists, and daily reporting. It is a strong fit when the main pain is jobsite coordination and keeping everyone working from the same set of drawings.

Clue is operations focused, especially equipment. It is built to manage equipment maintenance, tracking, utilization, and fleet workflows across all sites. Clue connects inspections, preventive maintenance, work orders, parts, and service history so teams can reduce downtime and standardize how equipment is maintained and reported.

If your priority is plans, tasks, and punch progress on a project, Fieldwire fits well. If your priority is equipment performance and maintenance across the business, Clue is the better match.
