Finally, Fleet Data That Finance Can Work With

Construction CFOs must justify every equipment purchase, control fleet costs, and deliver margin. Clue gives finance leaders the asset-level data to do all three, from live numbers instead of estimates or manual field reports.

Clue fleet cost dashboard for construction CFOs with cost per hour, idle cost, fleet margin trend, and cost mix

Fleet cost view

Fleet costs in one view. Rent, own, plan.

Operating hours, revenue, operating cost and cost per hour with maintenance history for an asset

True Cost Per Hour, Per Machine

Clue aggregates repair costs, fuel, parts, and rental spend into a fully-loaded cost per hour for every asset. See which machines are cash flow positive and which ones need a closer look on margin.

Asset profitability with potential savings from disposing, swapping or stopping rentals

Capital Expenditure Justification

Back every CapEx request with utilization data. If a machine is running at 85% utilization and going overdue on maintenance, the case for replacement writes itself. If it sits idle 40% of the time, you have grounds to question the purchase.

Potential savings and cumulative maintenance spending versus estimate

Rental vs. Own Analysis

Clue shows the cost of owning an asset alongside rental rates for comparable machines. Let the data show whether it is cheaper to rent or buy.

Asset profitability with revenue, operating cost and maintenance cost for one asset

Fleet Financials and Cost Allocation

Allocate fleet costs to projects, divisions, or cost centers directly in Clue. Give project managers visibility into their equipment spend and hold them accountable for idle time.

Fuel used by day with maintenance cost versus estimate

Fuel Spend Tracking and Efficiency

Track fuel consumption per asset and identify high idle-time machines so more of every gallon goes toward real output. Improve fuel efficiency with data, not policies.

Maintenance cost versus estimate with a daily repair breakdown

Parts and Maintenance Spend Transparency

See exactly how much you spend on parts and labor per machine, per month. Identify your highest-maintenance assets and build the case for fleet renewal or disposal.

Built for every role

Solutions for every team.

Field, shop, and office teams use the same system. Equipment managers, fleet managers, operations leaders, CFOs, and executives see equipment details for their work.
