Clue Vs One Step GPS

One Step GPS Overview

One Step GPS is a fleet tracking platform mainly used for basic vehicle visibility. Teams use it for real time GPS location tracking, route history, simple reporting, geofences, and driver behavior insights. It is often chosen by companies that want an affordable way to track where vehicles are and improve dispatch awareness.

How It Compares to Clue

Both One Step GPS and Clue help teams get visibility into fleet activity. The difference is how far the system goes beyond tracking.

One Step GPS is a good fit for teams that mainly need vehicle location tracking and straightforward reporting. It focuses on knowing where trucks and service vehicles are and reviewing route and driving activity.

Clue is built for construction fleets that need to manage equipment and vehicles together, with a strong focus on uptime. Clue connects live equipment and vehicle data to maintenance workflows using engine hours, fault codes, and inspection issues to help trigger and prioritize work. It also helps teams track utilization, reduce downtime, and align fleet decisions with jobsite needs, so the fleet is not just visible but operationally controlled.
