Construction Equipment Maintenance Software Built for the Field
Clue's heavy equipment maintenance software connects the first issue report to the finished repair. PM schedules, work orders, parts and labor stay with each asset.
Equipment maintenance
One record for every repair. From issue to closeout.
Automate PM Scheduling and Work Order Creation
Teams schedule service by engine hours, mileage, a date or a custom interval. Clue syncs engine hours and odometer readings from connected systems. Clue creates the work order when service comes due.
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
Each work order stays with its asset from assignment to closeout. Clue's equipment repair software shows each mechanic's workload. Mechanics log time in the work order. Clue records who made each change and when.
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.
Fault code intake: codes arrive as they fire. Clue pulls past 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.
