Construction Equipment Inspection Software Built for the Field
The construction equipment inspection app lets crews record each result with photos and notes. Clue creates a work order task for each flagged item.
Digital equipment inspections
Every check on record. From the field to the shop.
Inspection Forms for Every Equipment Workflow
Teams build forms by equipment type, jobsite requirement or safety process. Crews use the heavy equipment inspection app on iOS or Android.
Custom inspection templates: Build forms by equipment type, jobsite requirement, safety process, or operating workflow
DVIR and trip checks: Run driver vehicle inspection reports, pre-trip inspections, and post-trip inspections from mobile
Operator daily checks: Capture pre-shift, walkaround, and routine condition checks before equipment goes to work
Lifecycle inspections: Document end-of-job, on-hire, off-hire, mid-job, pickup, return, and crisis inspection events
Draft resuming: Save interrupted inspections and pick up where the checklist left off
Mobile submission: Complete and submit inspections from iOS or Android devices
Photo Documentation on Every Flagged Issue
The equipment inspection checklist app keeps each photo with its checklist item, notes and result. Mechanics see the photos before they plan the repair. The same photos appear in the PDF report.
Checklist item photos: Attach photos directly to inspection items when damage, wear, leaks, or safety issues need visual proof
Issue context: Keep photos, notes, pass/fail results, and severity details connected in the same inspection record
Shop review: Give mechanics and managers visual context before they decide whether repair follow-up is needed
Handoff documentation: Support pickup, delivery, return, on-hire, and off-hire condition records with field photos
Report-ready evidence: Keep inspection photos available with exported inspection reports for audit, owner, rental, or internal review
Turn Failed Inspection Items Into Maintenance Work
Clue creates a work order task on its own when an operator flags an item. It reaches the maintenance queue before the operator leaves the cab, with the asset, checklist item, notes and photos.
Failed-item task creation: Create a work order task when an inspection item is marked failed
Inspection context carried over: Keep the asset, checklist item, notes, photos, and failed status tied to the repair task
Shop queue visibility: Surface inspection-driven work where shop managers and mechanics already review repairs
Issue review: Separate minor findings from repair-needed issues before they slow down the wrong team
Resolution tracking: Track inspection findings through review, repair, completion, and closeout
Document Equipment Condition Before Pickup or Delivery
Equipment handoffs go smoothly when the team captures condition at departure. Pre-pickup inspections give dispatch, drivers, rental teams, and the shop a timestamped record before the asset leaves the yard or changes hands.
Mobile pre-pickup checks: Drivers complete a quick inspection from the app before pickup or delivery
Equipment condition report: Capture photos, notes, timestamp, asset, and dispatch context in one record
Dispatch checkpoint: Require inspection completion before the delivery or handoff workflow moves forward
Return review: Use the departure record when return damage, rental charges, or handoff disputes need review
Owned and rented assets: Document condition for internal moves, rental equipment, jobsite deliveries, and returns
Track Scheduled, Completed, and Missed Inspections
The Inspection Report Calendar puts scheduled, completed and missed inspections in one fleet view. Summary tiles and icon tooltips show status at a glance. Each completed inspection ties to its asset record.
Inspection calendar: View scheduled, completed, and missed inspections across the fleet
Summary tiles: Review high-level inspection status without digging through individual records
Icon tooltips: Check inspection status details quickly from the calendar view
Asset history: Keep each completed inspection tied to the equipment record
Compliance review: Use calendar and asset history together for audit, safety, and maintenance planning
Export Inspection Records for Audit and Review
Crews download completed inspection reports as PDFs. Each PDF identifies the asset and holds the inspection details, notes, photos and timestamps. Crews email reports from the app.
PDF export: Download completed inspection reports as PDFs
Mobile sharing: Share inspection reports by email directly from the mobile app
Report evidence: Include inspection details, notes, photos, timestamps, and asset context in the record

Inspections in Clue
Why Construction Crews Do Inspections in Clue
Crews inspect equipment on a phone. Clue sends flagged items to the shop as work order tasks. Pickup and return checks record equipment condition. The calendar shows fleet coverage.
Every Check on Schedule
The calendar shows each inspection status at a glance. Crews save an interrupted check as a draft. They return to finish it.
Faster Maintenance Decisions
Failed items reach the shop with enough context for managers to decide what needs repair, review, or closeout.
Cleaner Accountability
Inspection records show who completed the check, what they found, and what evidence they captured.
Smoother Handoffs
Condition records help teams review what happened before equipment was picked up, delivered, returned, or reassigned.
Easier Audit Response
Inspection records stay organized so documentation can be pulled quickly when owners, safety teams, or internal managers ask.
Better Fleet Oversight
Managers can see inspection coverage across assets instead of chasing updates asset by asset.
Equipment Data Stays With the Inspection.
Clue connects to OEM telematics, GPS and aftermarket trackers. It connects to ERP, accounting and CMMS systems. Teams add equipment by hand to the same records. Each inspection stays with its asset.
