Clue Vs NexTraq

NexTraq Overview

NexTraq is a GPS fleet management platform built mainly for vehicles and driver-based fleets. Teams use it to track vehicle location, set up geofences, review driver behavior, and improve routing and day-to-day fleet visibility. It is often used by service and delivery fleets that want better control over operations and safety.

How It Compares to Clue

Both NexTraq and Clue use tracking data to help teams stay connected to their fleet. The difference is what they are designed to manage.

NexTraq is strongest for on-road fleets where drivers, routes, and safety are the main priorities. It helps teams monitor vehicle activity, reduce risky driving, and improve fleet efficiency through GPS and driver-focused reporting.

Clue is built for construction equipment and mixed fleets that include heavy equipment. It connects tracking with engine hours, utilization, faults, inspections, and maintenance history so teams can trigger and prioritize work orders based on real equipment usage. Clue also supports construction workflows like dispatch, rentals, and job-level performance tracking, so field teams can keep equipment ready and projects moving without switching between tools.
