Clue Vs HCSS HeavyJob

HCSS HeavyJob Overview

HCSS HeavyJob is a field operations and job cost platform used mainly for timekeeping and daily field reporting. Teams use it for electronic timecards, crew tracking, quantities, production reporting, and job costing. It is also known for strong payroll and ERP integrations, especially in heavy civil construction.

How It Compares to Clue

Both HCSS HeavyJob and Clue can capture time in the field, track crews, and support job level reporting. The difference is what each system is built to run day to day.

HCSS HeavyJob is best for companies that want a structured system for field timecards and job cost reporting. It centers on field entry and cost code reporting, then pushes that data into payroll and accounting workflows.

Clue includes timecards too, but it is built around equipment operations and fleet performance. Clue connects labor and job activity to equipment utilization, live engine hours, location, and maintenance workflows. That means teams can see time, equipment activity, and fleet health together, and trigger inspections and work based on real equipment usage instead of only scheduled intervals or manual follow ups.
