Construction Equipment Maintenance Software Built for the Field
Run maintenance from issue intake to repair completion. Clue ties PM schedules, failed inspections, fault codes, work orders, labor, parts, cost codes, and service history to the right asset so teams can keep work moving and equipment ready.
Equipment maintenance
One record for every repair. From issue to closeout.
Automate PM Scheduling and Work Order Creation
Preventive maintenance is easier to control when service intervals, asset usage, and shop work stay connected. Clue connects PM schedules to engine hours, mileage, calendar intervals, PM status, and automatic work order creation so teams can plan service ahead of each interval.
Automatic WO creation: create work orders when PM intervals come due.
PM Dashboard: see which assets are in Good Standing, Upcoming or Overdue status.
PM Plans: schedule service by engine hours, mileage, calendar or custom interval.
Asset service history: keep completed PMs, repairs and work orders on the asset record.
Manage Work Orders From Assignment to Completion
Clue keeps repair work tied to the asset, mechanic assignment, schedule, labor, status, and service history so shop teams can track each job from assignment through closeout.
Work order sources: create work orders from failed inspections, fault codes, due PMs or manual requests.
Mechanic scheduling: assign and rebalance repair work with workload visibility and unassigned counts.
WO status tracking: track repair progress, ownership and closeout on the asset record.
WO-linked time entry: log mechanic labor directly against the work order.
Audit trail: keep status changes, assignments, parts activity and notes visible.
Turn Fault Codes Into Repair Work
A fault code only matters when the shop can act on it. Clue brings supported telematics faults into the maintenance workflow so teams can review active issues, connect faults to work orders, and keep diagnostic activity tied to the asset record.
Real-time fault alerts: notify teams when supported equipment generates a fault code.
Samsara fault intake: bring fault activity in through real-time webhooks and historical readings.
Repair follow-up: create or connect repair work when a fault needs action.
Dismissal warning: warn users when a fault code is already linked to an open work order.
Asset record: keep fault activity connected to the equipment maintenance history.
Prioritize Asset Health Before Issues Escalate
Clue Asset Health helps maintenance teams assess equipment risk across the fleet before small issues lead to downtime. Teams can monitor risk levels, score changes, and maintenance history alongside PMs, inspections, fault codes, and repair work.
Risk visibility: review high, medium, low and not-scored assets in one view.
Score trends: track how asset risk changes over time.
Maintenance record: compare asset health with PM status, inspection results, fault activity and repair history.
Action planning: prioritize assets that need review before issues create downtime.
Route Failed Inspection Items into Repair Tasks
When an inspection item fails, Clue keeps the inspection record, asset record, and photos connected. Field teams complete mobile checklists, while maintenance teams get the details needed to review the issue and move it into repair work.
Inspection forms: build DVIR, pre-trip, post-trip, operator daily or custom forms.
Mobile inspections: complete pass and fail items, notes, photos and submissions from the app.
Inspection evidence: attach photos to document equipment issues before you assign the work.
Failed-item workflow: create work order tasks from failed inspection items tied to the asset.
AI repair descriptions: turn repair photos into draft issue descriptions mechanics can review.
PDF reports: export and share completed inspection reports for audit and compliance records.
Keep Parts Moving With the Repair
Parts on hand keep open work orders moving. Clue’s construction equipment maintenance software connects parts requests, inventory locations, work orders, and unit cost data so parts stay tied to active repair work.
Parts inventory: track parts across warehouses, shops and jobsite trailers.
WO-linked requests: request multiple parts directly from a work order.
Parts source tracking: see whether work order parts come from inventory or vendor fulfillment.
Latest unit cost: apply the most recent unit cost when a part is used.
Gearflow fulfillment: order parts through Gearflow from within a work order where configured.
Track Repair Cost at the Work Order Level
Heavy equipment maintenance software should make repair cost easier to trace. Clue keeps parts, labor, time, and cost codes tied to the work order and asset record so teams can review each repair and keep data ready for ERP workflows.
Parts cost tracking: capture parts used on work orders with quantity, unit cost and part details.
Labor cost visibility: track mechanic time against work orders for clearer repair labor cost.
Cost code tracking: tie parts, labor and work order activity to the right cost codes.
AI invoice review: review vendor invoices against work order scope and flag discrepancies.
ERP-ready records: push work order, timecard and cost code data into connected ERP workflows.

Why Clue
Why Clue is the Construction Equipment Maintenance Software Teams Choose
Clue helps maintenance teams keep equipment ready by tying service schedules, inspections, repair work, and cost records together from issue to repair.
Fewer Preventable Service Misses
Due maintenance is easier to plan before it turns into an urgent repair, with the asset, interval, and service record already connected.
Less Chasing Between Field and Shop
Failed inspections reach maintenance with the equipment record and evidence attached, so teams are not hunting for photos, notes, or asset details.
Shorter Time From Issue to Repair
Repair work moves with its assignment, status, labor, and parts context, reducing the dead time between issue intake and wrench time.
Fewer Parts-Related Delays
Parts stay visible against active repair work, so teams spot shortages early and keep jobs moving.
Cleaner Repair Cost Records
Parts, labor, time, and cost codes stay tied to the work order, making maintenance spend easier to review and send into ERP workflows.
Repeat Repairs Stand Out
Maintenance history stays connected to each asset, helping teams see which equipment keeps generating repair work instead of treating every issue like a one-off.
Equipment Data Stays With the Work Order.
Equipment data and business records can feed the same maintenance workflow. Clue connects OEM telematics, GPS and aftermarket trackers, and ERP, accounting and CMMS systems, and keeps hand-entered equipment on the same service record.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is construction equipment maintenance software?
Construction equipment maintenance software helps construction teams schedule preventive maintenance, manage work orders, track inspection issues, monitor fault activity, and keep service records tied to each asset. Instead of keeping PMs, repairs, inspections, and cost records in separate systems, Clue connects maintenance activity from issue intake to repair completion.
What makes Clue one of the best equipment maintenance software options for construction?
Clue is built around construction equipment workflows, not static facility maintenance. It connects PM schedules, mobile inspections, fault codes, work orders, parts, labor time, cost codes, and ERP-ready maintenance records so teams can manage repair work from issue intake to cost handoff.
What is equipment maintenance tracking software?
Equipment maintenance tracking software helps teams track service schedules, repair history, inspection results, fault codes, parts usage, labor time, and asset-level maintenance records. Clue also supports equipment maintenance management software workflows by connecting PM schedules, mobile inspections, work orders, parts, and repair cost data in one workflow.
Is Clue a CMMS alternative for construction fleets?
Yes. Clue can work as a CMMS alternative for construction teams that need maintenance software built around mobile equipment, jobsites, telematics, inspections, and shop workflows. Traditional CMMS platforms are often built for facilities or fixed assets, while Clue connects equipment maintenance to engine hours, fault codes, mobile inspections, work orders, parts, and ERP-ready cost records.
How does Clue automate preventive maintenance?
Clue schedules PMs by engine hours, mileage, calendar date, or custom intervals. PM status views show which services are current, upcoming, or overdue, and due PM intervals can create work orders automatically so service does not have to be tracked separately.
Can field teams complete inspections from mobile?
Yes. Field teams can complete structured inspection forms from the Clue mobile app, record pass/fail items, add notes, and attach photos. Failed inspection items can be routed into maintenance work with the inspection record and asset context attached.
Does Clue support photos and videos in inspections?
Yes. Clue supports inspection evidence such as photos, and video where supported, so teams can document issue context before repair work is assigned. Completed inspection reports can also be exported and shared as PDFs with attached evidence.
How does Clue handle fault codes?
Clue brings diagnostic alerts into the maintenance workflow so teams can review fault activity by asset, severity, and service context. When a fault requires action, teams can connect it to repair work instead of leaving the alert buried in a separate telematics system.
Can mechanics update work orders from mobile?
Yes. Mechanics can use Clue mobile workflows to review assigned work, update work order status, add notes, log labor time, and keep repair activity tied to the asset record. This helps the shop keep repair progress visible without relying on paper notes or separate follow-up.
Does Clue integrate with ERP systems for maintenance cost codes?
Clue supports ERP-ready maintenance records by keeping work orders, timecards, parts, labor, and cost code activity connected. Where configured, this data can move into connected ERP workflows so maintenance cost records are cleaner and easier to review.
How can construction teams streamline maintenance programs?
Construction teams streamline maintenance by connecting the full workflow: PM schedules, inspection failures, fault alerts, work orders, mechanic assignments, parts requests, labor time, and repair cost records. Clue helps reduce the gaps between finding an issue, assigning the work, completing the repair, and keeping the asset record up to date.
How much does Clue equipment maintenance software cost?
Current plans and included features are listed on the pricing page.
See Clue pricingWhat does setup involve?
Setup starts with your asset list and your service intervals. A Clue analyst works through both with your team, so your first PM plans and work orders run on your own data.
