Clue vs Trackunit

Trackunit Overview

Trackunit is a telematics platform that connects equipment using GPS hardware. Teams use it to track location, monitor utilization, and see activity like run time and idle time across mixed fleets.

How It Compares to Clue

Both Trackunit and Clue support location tracking, utilization reporting, and fleet visibility. The difference is what you do with that data day to day.

Trackunit is telematics first. It helps teams connect equipment, standardize signals, and monitor where assets are and how they are being used across sites.

Clue uses telematics data inside equipment operations. It connects engine hours and fault signals to inspections, preventive maintenance, and work orders, and ties equipment usage back to jobs and costs so teams can manage fleet performance, not just track it over time.
