Clue vs Teletrac Navman

Teletrac Navman Overview

Teletrac Navman is a telematics and fleet tracking platform. Teams use it to see where vehicles and equipment are, monitor utilization, improve driver safety, and run compliance workflows like ELD. It’s a strong option for companies that want GPS visibility and fleet reporting across trucks, trailers, and other mobile assets.

How It Compares to Clue

Both Teletrac Navman and Clue help teams understand where assets are and how they are being used. The difference is what they are built to manage day to day.

Teletrac Navman is telematics first. It is best for tracking movement, improving driving behavior, and managing fleet compliance. Maintenance features are typically lighter and centered around fleet alerts and scheduling, so many construction teams still pair it with a dedicated equipment maintenance system.

Clue is built for construction equipment operations. It connects tracking and utilization with maintenance workflows like inspections, work orders, parts, and service history, so teams can plan and prioritize maintenance based on real equipment usage. Clue also supports broader equipment workflows like fleet management and jobsite operations, giving equipment teams one system to run the full equipment lifecycle.
