Clue vs Geotab

Geotab Overview

Geotab is a telematics and fleet tracking platform used across many industries. Teams use it to see where vehicles are, monitor driving and safety behavior, track engine diagnostics, and run compliance and reporting. It’s a good fit for companies that want strong GPS visibility and analytics across a large mixed fleet.

How It Compares to Clue

Both Geotab and Clue support location tracking, geofences, alerts, utilization reporting, and fleet visibility. The difference is what the system is built to manage day to day.

Geotab is telematics-first. It focuses on movement, safety, compliance, and performance analytics. It works best when your main goal is tracking vehicles and using fleet data for monitoring and reporting.

Clue is built for construction equipment operations. It connects telematics data to maintenance workflows like inspections, PM, and work orders, then ties that back to jobs, utilization, and equipment costs. Instead of only showing where equipment is, Clue helps teams manage what needs to happen next and keep the full equipment story in one place.
