Fleetio is a general fleet maintenance platform used across many industries. It helps teams keep service records, inspections, fuel tracking, warranties, and work orders organized in one place. It’s a good fit for companies that want a clean way to track maintenance for vehicles and mixed fleets.
Fleetio is mainly focused on planned maintenance and documentation. Most work is scheduled around set intervals, then managed through work orders and inspections.
Clue is built specifically for heavy civil and construction equipment management. It connects live equipment signals like engine hours, utilization, and fault data to maintenance workflows so teams can prioritize the right work based on real equipment usage.
Clue also goes beyond maintenance with tools for equipment financials, rentals, dispatch, and construction-specific customization, plus AI features built for heavy equipment operations.
