Construction Field App for Equipment Work on iOS and Android
Crews use the construction equipment management app on iOS and Android to track equipment, submit requests, complete inspections, update work orders, and enter time while details are fresh.
Mobile app
One app for the whole day. From the field to the record.
Track Equipment From the Field
Crews can see where an asset is, what it is assigned to, and what condition it is in, straight from the field. The Clue mobile app gives field teams direct access to equipment location, asset records, and connected usage data from the jobsite.
Mobile equipment map: View tracked assets on the live map and see where equipment is sitting, moving, or assigned
Asset profile access: Open key asset details, service context, hours, odometer readings, and history from mobile
No-login location sharing: Send a live equipment location link to a vendor, subcontractor, or superintendent without giving them Clue access
Mixed fleet visibility: Review tracked and untracked assets in the same equipment workflow
Telematics data on mobile: See connected engine hours, odometer readings, and asset status from supported GPS, OEM, and telematics sources
Inspection Records That Stay Useful After Submission
Clue keeps photos in each inspection record. Drafts save interrupted work. Inspectors add videos from the phone to failed items. Each failed item creates a work order task.
Configurable inspection forms: Run DVIR, pre-trip, post-trip, operator daily, pre-shift, walkaround, lifecycle, and custom inspection workflows
Rich media evidence: Attach photos, videos, and notes to the relevant checklist item so damage, leaks, wear, or safety issues stay tied to the record
Draft resuming: Save interrupted inspections and pick up where the checklist left off
Failed-item follow-up: Move failed inspection items into the shop workflow with asset, notes, media, and checklist context attached
Mobile PDF sharing: Export inspection reports as PDFs and share them by email from the app
Work Orders Mechanics Can Update at the Asset
Mechanics use the equipment maintenance app to create and update work orders from the phone. They add parts, log time, mark work complete, and keep photos and notes on the asset record.
Assigned work queue: Review open work orders by asset, priority, due date, and mechanic assignment
Parts requests: Request needed parts from inside the work order so inventory activity stays tied to the repair
Mobile labor entry: Log mechanic time against the work order so labor stays connected to the asset record
Photo-to-repair description: Capture the issue in the field and let AI draft the work order description from the image
Repair evidence: Attach photos and completion notes to document what they found, what changed, and what they finished
Asset repair history: Keep completed work, parts, labor, notes, and media available from the equipment profile
Equipment Requests That Move Into Dispatch
Crew members request equipment from the phone. When a job wraps up, they request a return. The dispatcher approves each request and creates the dispatch. Clue sends push notifications for new requests and dispatch status changes.
Equipment requests: Let crew members request equipment from their phone and send the request into dispatch review
Return requests: Start a return when equipment is finished on site so pickup, reassignment, or rental return can move forward
Dispatch approval: Review the request, approve the need, and create the dispatch from the same record
Pickup and dropoff pins: Select a pickup or dropoff location by dropping a pin when no saved geofence exists
Request notifications: Send mobile updates when requests are submitted, approvals are needed, or dispatch status changes
Timecards Entered Where the Work Happens
Field time is easiest to trust when crews log it where the work happens. Clue lets operators and crews enter hours from the jobsite, tied to the right equipment and cost code.
Driver timecards: Give drivers a mobile timecard flow built around how they record their day
Foreman crew entry: Let one foreman enter time for a full crew from one device
Cost code support: Capture time with the right cost code structure for cleaner job costing and payroll review
Timecard approval: Review, approve, or send timecards back with a reason before export
ERP-ready export: Clue exports approved timecards in the format your ERP needs, including Sage through Construct, Spectrum, HeavyJob with ADP, and Vista
Field Entries That Work Offline
With no signal, crews can submit inspections, save inspection drafts, clock in and out, log engine hours or odometer readings, enter fuel, and report breakdowns. The app holds each entry on the phone, then syncs it when coverage returns. Crews must load equipment on the phone before they inspect it offline.
Interrupted input support: Preserve unfinished mobile entries when a crew member loses signal or gets pulled away
Reconnect sync: Submit saved drafts once connectivity is restored
Field continuity: Keep a single clean entry when inspections or other mobile inputs are interrupted

Common questions
Construction equipment management app FAQ.
What can teams do in the Clue mobile app?
On iOS and Android, crews track equipment, open asset details, complete inspections, update work orders, request equipment or returns, and enter time.
Is Clue available for both iOS and Android?
Yes. Clue supports mobile access for iOS and Android users, so field crews, mechanics, drivers, dispatchers, and managers can work from the devices they already use on the jobsite.
Can crews track equipment from the mobile app?
Yes. Clue works as an equipment tracking app for construction teams by giving mobile users access to asset records, location context, assignments, and connected equipment data. Teams can also share a live equipment location link with vendors, subcontractors, or field contacts without giving them full Clue access.
Can operators complete inspections from the app?
Yes. Operators and field teams can complete inspection checklists, mark items pass or fail, attach rich media evidence, save drafts, and submit inspection records from mobile. Completed inspection reports can also be exported as PDFs and shared from the app.
Can mechanics update work orders from mobile?
Yes. Mechanics can create, update, add parts, log time, and mark work orders complete from the field or shop floor. This keeps repair notes, labor, parts, photos, and closeout details tied to the asset record while the work is still active.
Can field crews request equipment or returns from the app?
Yes. Crew members can submit equipment requests from the field, and dispatch can review the request, approve it, and create the dispatch from the same workflow. Crews can also request returns when equipment is finished on site or ready to move.
Can a foreman submit timecards for the whole crew?
Yes. One foreman can enter time for the whole crew from one device. This setup fits project crews where the foreman carries the device. Mechanics enter their own time.
Can drivers use the Clue app for timecards?
Yes. Clue includes a driver timecard flow designed around how drivers record their day. Driver timecards can be captured from mobile and tied into the same time tracking workflow used for labor, job costing, and payroll export.
Can the Clue mobile app work without signal?
Yes. With no signal, crews can submit inspections, save drafts, clock in and out on timecards, log engine hours and odometer readings, enter fuel, and report breakdowns. The app syncs each entry when the signal returns. Crews must load equipment on the phone before an offline inspection. Work orders and parts logs need a signal.
Does Clue send mobile notifications?
Yes. Clue supports mobile alerts for work orders, dispatch, requests, and fault codes. These notifications help teams see when work is assigned, requests need review, or dispatch status changes.
Does Clue support different languages?
Yes. Clue runs in 21 languages, including English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Polish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese and Chinese. Each person picks their own. Operators, mechanics, drivers and foremen all work in the language they read best.
How much does the Clue mobile app cost?
Clue includes mobile access in its platform. The pricing page offers a short form for a personalized plan based on your equipment, crew, and job needs. A team member follows up to walk you through it.
See Clue pricingWhat does setup involve?
Setup starts with your asset list and your projects. A Clue analyst works through both with your team, so your crews open the mobile app on your own data.
What is an equipment management app for construction?
A construction equipment management app is a phone app that helps field crews, mechanics, drivers, and foremen manage equipment work. On iOS and Android, teams track equipment, run inspections, update work orders, request equipment, and enter time. The field, shop, and office use the same system.
How does Clue send timecards to payroll or an ERP?
A time card app for construction sends approved time to payroll or the ERP in the format each system needs. Crews clock in and out on the phone. Managers review each timecard. They approve it or decline it with a reason. Clue exports approved time to Sage through Construct, Spectrum, HeavyJob with ADP, and Vista. Cost codes can flow from work order tasks.
Can Clue write a repair description from a photo?
Yes, Clue uses AI to write a repair description after a mechanic or operator takes a photo of the issue in the app. The app turns the photo into text for the repair description. This helps the crew report equipment issues from the field in less time.
What happens when an operator marks an inspection item as failed in the app?
A failed item creates a work order task on its own. The task enters the maintenance queue before the operator leaves the cab. In the construction inspection app, inspectors can attach photos to the item. They can add videos from the phone.
