Clue Vs Viewpoint (Trimble)

Viewpoint (Trimble) Overview

Viewpoint, a Trimble company, is a leading provider of construction project management and ERP software. It integrates various aspects of construction operations like project costing, job costing, and financial management. Viewpoint’s focus is on streamlining operational processes across multiple aspects of construction management, primarily targeting large-scale, complex construction projects.

How It Compares to Clue

Clue and Viewpoint both serve construction teams, but they address different parts of the workflow. Viewpoint’s strength lies in project and financial management across complex builds, organizing job costs, contracts, and accounting within a unified ERP. It helps teams keep projects financially aligned and operationally consolidated at scale.

Clue is focused specifically on equipment operations and maintenance execution. Instead of tracking budgets and schedules alone, Clue connects real-time equipment activity, telematics signals, and maintenance workflows so that teams can anticipate issues, keep machines running, and tie those outcomes directly back to jobs. That means Clue turns operational data into decisions on uptime, repairs, and cost impact, something Viewpoint’s broader ERP focus doesn’t directly solve.
