Track Every Gallon. Account for Every Dollar.
Fuel is one of the largest variable costs in a construction fleet. Clue gives fuelers and fuel managers the tools to track every fill, monitor consumption per machine, and turn idle-fuel waste into budget savings.
Fuel management
Fleet fueling for construction. From fill to fuel spend.
Digital Fuel Logs, Right from Your Phone
Log every fuel transaction in Clue's mobile app. Capture machine ID, gallons dispensed, meter reading, and GPS location. Transactions sync automatically to the fleet record.
Asset Search: Find the machine by name or number before recording the fill
Nearby Map: Select equipment near your location from the mobile screen
QR Code Scan: Open the right machine record with the camera
Fill Details: Record gallons, fuel source, project, date, and engine hours
Submission Status: Confirm the asset, submitter, source, project, and synced time
Consumption Tracking Per Asset
See how much fuel every machine is consuming over any time period. Compare consumption against hours worked to spot machines burning more than expected, an early signal of maintenance issues or operator behavior.
Connected Meter Data: Bring engine hours, fuel level, location, and idle time into Clue
Usage By Machine: Compare gallons burned with hours worked across any date range
Efficiency View: See daily average, monthly total, gallons per hour, and utilization
Source Status: Check each meter feed and its last sync time
See What Idling Really Costs
Clue tracks idle hours from telematics and calculates the fuel burned while equipment sits running. Quantify the cost of idling in dollars and see which machines to address first across the fleet.
Idle Cost: See fuel burned while machines sit running, shown in dollars
Work Split: Compare operating hours with time spent running without production
Fleet Percentage: Track the share of engine time spent without productive work
Machine Threshold: Set a limit for each asset based on its expected use
Active Alert: Flag equipment running above the set limit for review
Bulk Fuel Inventory Management
Track on-site bulk fuel tank levels alongside individual machine transactions. Get alerts when tanks are running low and maintain a clear reconciliation between fuel dispensed and fuel purchased.
Storage Levels: Track on-site tank percentages and last update times
Low Tank Flag: Mark storage that needs a refill before the next service run
Route Position: Add machines with low fuel to the fueler's next service run
Fuel Source Record: Capture which truck or yard tank supplied each fill
Inventory Balance: Compare gallons purchased with gallons dispensed from bulk storage
Fuel Spend Reporting by Project and Division
Break down fuel costs by project, asset class, or division. Give project managers visibility into their fuel spend and give leadership the data to set fuel budgets with confidence.
Project Filters: Break down transactions by job, division, location, asset, or date
Spend Allocation: Assign each fill to the job selected on the mobile form
Asset Class View: Compare fuel use across equipment groups and operating periods
Recurring Reports: Schedule a regular view of fuel use for team review
Exception Alerts for Unusual Consumption
Set consumption thresholds per asset type. Clue flags machines that significantly exceed expected fuel use, catching potential theft, unauthorized use, or maintenance problems early.
Consumption Limits: Set expected use by equipment type for fair comparisons
High Use Flags: Mark machines that cross the set level for review
Maintenance Clues: Compare unusual burn with service needs or operator habits
Activity Check: Review the asset, time, and location behind an unusual fill

Across every fuel day
Why Construction Fuelers Choose Clue
Every gallon logged. Every dollar accounted for.
Fast Mobile Logging
Log fills in seconds from your phone. Machine ID lookup, gallons, and meter reading, done before you move to the next machine.
Automatic Consumption Analysis
Clue calculates consumption per hour per asset automatically. No spreadsheets needed.
Idle Fuel Quantified in Dollars
Turn idle hours into a dollar figure. A number that gets attention in every fleet review meeting.
Bulk Tank Reconciliation
Track what goes in and what comes out. Reconcile tank deliveries against logged transactions automatically.
Theft and Waste Detection
Exception alerts flag machines with unexplained fuel consumption spikes.
Project-Level Visibility
Fuel costs allocated to the right project, automatically.
Equipment Data Feeds the Fuel Record.
Samsara, John Deere, Tenna, Ford Telematics, and United Rentals can feed location, engine hours, fuel level, and idle data into Clue. Project and division details from business systems place each fill in the right fuel record for reporting and review.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is fleet fueling management software?
Fleet fueling management software keeps every fill, meter reading, idle cost, tank level, and project charge for construction equipment in one record. Clue links mobile fuel reports with connected telematics data, so fuelers record the work in the field and managers review use, cost, and trends.
How do fuelers log fuel transactions in Clue?
Fuelers use the Clue mobile app to log each fill, selecting the machine, entering gallons dispensed and current meter reading. GPS captures the location automatically.
Does Clue track bulk fuel tank levels?
Yes. Fuelers can log fuel dispensed from bulk tanks and track remaining inventory. Reconciliation between purchases and consumption is available in reporting.
How does Clue identify fuel waste?
Clue compares fuel consumption per hour against fleet averages and flags machines that significantly exceed expected rates. Idle fuel burn is calculated separately from productive use.
Can Clue detect fuel theft?
Clue's exception alerts flag unusual consumption patterns that may indicate unauthorized use or theft. These alerts give managers a starting point for investigation.
Does Clue integrate with fuel management systems?
Yes. Clue integrates with major fleet fuel management and telematics systems. Contact our team for a current list of supported integrations.
How does fuel data sync from telematics?
Fuel data syncs into Clue from connected equipment systems. Sources can send location, engine hours, fuel level, and idle time for each machine. Clue shows the source and the last sync time, so teams can see where each reading came from.
How do meter readings reach the fuel record?
Meter readings reach the fuel record through connected equipment sources and through the mobile fuel report. Clue shows the source for engine hours, odometer, and fuel level, plus the last sync time. Each submitted fill can carry engine hours into the saved record.
How does fuel cost get assigned to a project?
Fuel cost reaches a project when the fueler selects that project on the fuel report. Clue ties the fill to the chosen job, then groups transactions for project and division reporting. Managers can review spend by date, asset, location, or team.
Can fuel reports be scheduled?
Fuel reports can be scheduled to run on a regular cycle. The asset view includes a control for setting a recurring report, so fuel managers get the same figures on the same day without rebuilding the view each time.
How does Clue separate idle fuel from working fuel?
Clue separates idle fuel from working fuel using connected idle time and operating hours. The asset view shows working time, idle time, idle percentage, and the fuel burned while sitting. Managers can review the same figures by machine or across the fleet.
What does an oiler report cover?
An oiler report covers DEF, engine oil, transmission oil, hydraulic oil, and coolant. The fueler marks each item full, OK, or low during the service stop. The same report records the fuel source, which ties the fluid check to the fill.
How does a low fluid reading reach maintenance?
A low fluid reading becomes a field issue on the asset record. The fueler attaches photos, sets a status, and sends the issue to maintenance, so the shop can review the machine and plan the repair from the same record.
What should teams look for in fleet fueling management software?
Teams should look for one record that connects field fills, machine data, tank levels, idle cost, and project spend. It should show each data source and the last sync time. It should fit the fueler's daily work while giving managers clear reports and useful alerts.
See Clue pricingWho uses each part of Clue's fuel tools?
Fuelers use the mobile form, tank view, route list, and oiler checklist in the field. Fuel managers review machine use, idle cost, tank balance, alerts, and reports. Project managers track job spend, and leaders use the same record to set fuel budgets.
