A utilization report has to account for connected and untracked equipment. Telematics hours, odometer readings, logged hours, and manual meter readings give the team one usage record for the whole fleet.
Telematics hours.
Pull engine hours, odometer readings, and usage data from supported GPS and OEM sources.
Manual readings by asset.
Capture meter readings for equipment without connected telematics.
Mixed fleet support.
Track connected and untracked assets in the same workflow.
Hours reconciliation.
Compare telematics hours against logged hours to find usage gaps.
Utilization reporting should show more than a total hour count. Asset-level, project-level, and target-based views show which equipment is meeting plan and which is worth a closer look before the next planning cycle.
Asset-level review.
Review one asset without losing the fleet view.
Project-level view.
Compare utilization across jobsites to see where equipment is working or sitting.
Custom date ranges.
Filter by day, week, month, or a selected reporting period.
Utilization targets.
Set expected usage per asset, so an excavator and a pickup carry different plans.
Idle time is the clearest sign that utilization is drifting from plan. Idle activity, working hours, and fuel use together show which assets are carrying cost without producing enough value.
Idle time tracking.
Review idle activity across equipment and fleet groups.
Idle against working hours.
Compare idle time with active operating hours.
Fuel usage.
Review fuel rate, volume, and cost alongside idle activity where supported.
Idle follow-up.
Use idle signals for reassignment, rental return, service review, or dispatch follow-up.
Short-term staging and sustained underuse are not the same thing. Targets, rental hours, and usage history separate equipment that is parked for a week from assets that need a decision.
Underutilization review.
Find equipment tracking below the plan set for it.
Rental utilization.
Review operating hours on rented equipment before renewal or return.
Redeployment review.
Identify underused equipment that may need reassignment.
Trend history.
Track utilization over time to spot repeated underuse by project, asset, or season.
Rightsizing list.
Build a review list of assets to redeploy, return, replace, or evaluate.
Utilization is more than a usage metric. Engine hours, operating history, rental activity, and target variance feed PM planning, rental decisions, and cost review on the same asset record.
PM planning.
Use engine hours and usage activity to schedule preventive maintenance.
Rental review.
Use operating hours and usage trends to support return decisions.
Fleet financials.
Review utilization alongside revenue, cost, and profitability by asset, fleet, or project.
Asset history.
Keep usage, PM activity, repairs, rentals, and cost tied to the asset record.
Cost review.
Compare utilization against fuel, maintenance, rental, and ownership cost.
Weekly review needs the same signals every time: operating hours, target performance, idle activity, and asset trends. Scheduled reports give operations, finance, and leadership one consistent view each cycle.
Scheduled reports.
Send utilization reports to selected recipients daily, weekly, or monthly.
Filtered views.
Review by asset, project, fleet group, date range, or available reporting fields.
AI Report Builder.
Create a utilization report from a plain-language request, with no SQL and no IT ticket.
Report sharing.
Send summaries to operations, finance, and leadership on a set cadence.

Integrations
Clue pulls hours from the systems already on your machines, and pushes the result back to the systems your office runs on. Mixed brands, mixed ages, owned and rented.
See all integrations
OEM telematics
Engine hours and meter readings straight from the machine, across the major equipment makers.
GPS and aftermarket trackers
Keep the hardware you already installed. Hours land in the same utilization view.
ERP, accounting, and CMMS
Send hours and cost to the system your office already closes the month in.
Equipment without any device
Enter meter readings by asset. Untracked machines sit in the same report as connected ones.
Why Clue
Clue turns utilization data into review paths for hour accuracy, idle exposure, rental spend, asset planning, and fleet reporting.
Telematics hours, manual meter readings, and logged hours sit in one workflow, so connected and untracked assets are reviewed together.
Idle activity, working hours, fuel usage, and targets show which equipment carries cost without producing enough value.
Rental operating hours and usage trends show what to return, reassign, or review before the next billing cycle.
Targets, usage history, owned assets, and rented assets together point to what should move, be replaced, or be looked at again.
Engine hours and operating activity drive PM planning around real use instead of a static schedule.
Scheduled reports and saved views give operations, finance, and leadership the same signals on the same cadence.
"The big thing with Clue is that we're able to bridge the gap between our field, our operators in our shop, and other departments. Everybody's bought into Clue now."
"Imagine receiving 2,000 spreadsheets that needed to be approved individually in an email. There were entire teams dedicated to that. Now the system is fully automated, completely automated from beginning to end."
"The biggest difference has been the user friendliness. We have a lot more buy-in from the shop, the mechanics, and the foremen."
"It exposes dead cost or overhead that maybe we don't know about because it gets lost in those three different systems."
"It's a single pane of glass where you see everything across your fleet, from the field to the phone to the computer. I don't need to hop into Samsara to look at telematics. I can see it in Clue."
"The operator's in control of his own destiny. That was a huge reason why not only did I buy into it, but I'm also investing into it for the future."
"A job site was short a loader and they looked on Clue and saw that a nearby job had one available. They made that connection and it was over helping for the day."
"You went from doing two services a day to six services a day. That right there is priceless to me."
"You have the data, you have the information, and the operators themselves never feel a production push."
"We had 20 different logins between all our different softwares and web platforms. Now all that information pulls into one spot and we're able to see it in a single place."
"Our equipment is in far better shape since we started using Clue, for sure... It would be really difficult for us to go back and not use Clue!"
Questions
It tracks how equipment is used across jobsites, yards, rentals, and mixed fleets. Review operating hours, idle hours, utilization rate, manual meter readings, telematics activity, and usage targets in one place.
Clue uses operating hours from telematics, logged hours, and manual meter readings across the date range you pick, then compares those hours against the target set for the asset. Results can be grouped by asset, project, or fleet group.
Yes. Enter meter readings by asset and that equipment sits in the same utilization view as connected assets.
Yes. Targets are set per asset, so an excavator and a pickup can carry different expectations. Anything below target shows up in the review list.
Operating hours, idle hours, utilization rate against target, meter readings, fuel use where supported, and usage history by asset, project, and date range.
It shows where idle time is happening and which assets it belongs to. Teams use that to reassign equipment, return a rental, or follow up with the crew.
Pricing is based on how many assets you track and which modules you turn on. Ask for pricing and you get numbers for your fleet.
Setup starts with your asset list and your telematics connections. A Clue analyst works through both with your team, so the first utilization report comes from your own data.
