Procore is a construction project management platform. Teams use it to manage project documentation and workflows like drawings, RFIs, submittals, daily logs, and budgets. It also includes field and financial tools, with options for timecards and production tracking as part of broader project management.
Both Procore and Clue support construction teams in the field and help bring structure to jobsite reporting. The difference is what they are built to manage day to day.
Procore is focused on project documentation and collaboration. It works well when you need a system to manage project communication, files, and standardized processes across teams and stakeholders.
Clue is built for equipment operations and fleet performance. It connects equipment usage, telematics signals, maintenance activity, and jobsite labor in one place so teams can make decisions based on what is actually happening in the field. Clue helps you capture time and activity, verify it with location and job context, and tie it back to equipment utilization, uptime, and cost. That gives operations teams a clearer view of productivity and performance beyond project records.
| Feature / Capability | How it works | Clue | Procore |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mixed-Fleet Tracking | Seeing all brands (Cat, Deere, Samsara, etc.) on one live operational map. | ✔ Native — Real-time mixed-fleet visibility for the shop and field. | ✖ No unified operational map; requires project-by-project silos. |
| Preventive Maint. | Auto-triggering service based on live engine hour meter reads. | ✔ Automated — Live meters trigger work orders instantly. | ✖ No engine-hour automation; manual entry required for logs. |
| Advanced Work Orders | Managing parts, mechanic labor hours, and shop inventory. | ✔ Shop-First — Built for mechanics to track “wrench time” and parts. | ✖ No CMMS depth; basic “maintenance notes” only. |
| Operator Inspections | Daily mobile walk-arounds with automated alerts for failed items. | ✔ Proactive — Failed inspections auto-trigger shop work orders. | ✖ Generic forms only; no link to maintenance workflows. |
| Utilization & Idle KPIs | Real-time analysis of fuel waste and machine productivity. | ✔ Operational — Active management screens for daily decisions. | ✖ Part of a BI Insights module, not an operational screen. |
| Dispatching | Moving machines between jobs based on live availability and demand. | ✔ Visual — Drag-and-drop scheduling on a live map. | ✖ No dispatch capability; static asset lists only. |
| Fault-Driven Service | Turning “Check Engine” lights (Fault Codes) into instant repairs. | ✔ Native — Connects directly to the machine’s computer. | ✖ No diagnostic ingestion or fault-code triggers. |
| Drawings & RFIs | Blueprint management, markups, and project communication. | ✖ Asset-centric. | ✔ Industry Standard — Procore’s core competency. |
| Financial Commitments | Managing prime contracts, POs, and subcontractor billing. | ✖ Syncs to ERP — Automates data flow (meters/costs) into your GL/AP to eliminate double-entry. | ✔ Native — Allows users to manually create POs and Subcontracts inside the platform. |
Clue brings your crew’s time, site activity and labour data into sharp focus, so you can run your workforce smoother, smarter and more reliably.
Clue integrates natively with your most-used systems, from telematics and OEM platforms like CAT VisionLink, JDLink, and Komtrax, to project and ERP tools such as Viewpoint Vista, Sage, and HCSS.
