Built for the Foreman Running the Jobsite
Foremen are the boots on the ground. Clue's mobile app gives foremen the tools to manage equipment on their jobsite, flag problems, report hours, and keep work moving, all from a phone in their pocket.
Foreman workflow
One phone for the crew. Time, requests, safety.
Crew Timecards From One Foreman Phone
A foreman enters time for the whole crew from one phone. Each worker, cost code, and set of hours goes on the same timecard.
Whole crew, one phone: Every worker on the same timecard
Coded at entry: Hours tied to cost codes in the field, not retyped later
Manager review: Timecards are approved before they reach payroll
Time saved: Earth Basics expects 40 to 50 hours saved at full rollout with the time card app
Jobsite Equipment and Crew Visibility
One jobsite view shows equipment, crews, and projects together, so a foreman can check what is on site and who is assigned without calling the yard.
What is on site: Equipment, crews, and projects in one jobsite view
Last known location: Where each asset was last seen, without calling the yard
Owned and rented: Rentals and attachments appear in the same view
Shared record: Built on Clue asset tracking that dispatch and the shop also see
Equipment Requests and Return Coordination
Field equipment requests reach dispatch with the type, count, dates, project, and dropoff point already attached.
Complete requests: Type, count, dates, project, dropoff point, and notes
Track to fulfilment: Follow each request from open to filled
Return requests: Send equipment back before idle rental days add up
Costed to the job: The project travels with the request into dispatch
Inspections That Start Follow-Up
Foremen complete DVIR, pre-trip, post-trip, or custom inspections from the field, with a pass or fail recorded on every item.
Every form type: DVIR, pre-trip, post-trip, and custom checklists
Photo evidence: Pass or fail per item with photos and a PDF report
Failures create work: A failed item becomes a work order for the shop
Stays with the asset: Each completed inspection builds the repair history
Breakdown Reports With Field Context
A breakdown report gives the shop a photo, clear notes, and priority from the field, so a mechanic arrives knowing what failed.
Photo first: Clue writes the repair description from the image
Priority from the field: The shop can tell down from due at next service
Right parts first trip: Context arrives before the mechanic does
Faster turnaround: At Earth Basics a 3 hour work order now takes 2 hours 45 minutes
Toolbox Talks and Safety Records
Foremen run toolbox talks from the jobsite, marking each crew member present with a sign-off in one place.
Run it on site: Toolbox talks delivered from the jobsite, not the office
Attendance and sign-off: Each crew member marked present in one place
Record kept: The attendance log stays attached to the talk
Safety visibility: See topic coverage by crew across sites with toolbox talk software
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.

Why Foremen Choose Clue
Manage your jobsite from your phone. No paper, no radio, no guessing. Clue replaces the end-of-shift clipboard round with one entry that reaches the office immediately.
Everything on Your Phone
No trips to the office, no radio calls, no paper forms. Manage jobsite equipment entirely from the Clue mobile app on iOS or Android.
Instant Breakdown Reporting
Photo, description, submit. Clue writes the repair description from the photo, so the shop gets usable context instead of a one-line note.
Digital Inspection Checklists
Pre-shift inspections completed and submitted digitally in minutes, with photos attached and a PDF report kept against the asset.
Hours Tracking Made Simple
Log daily equipment hours with no spreadsheets. Earth Basics is on track to save about 20 hours of payroll administration.
Operator Accountability
Digital assignment records show exactly who operated what equipment and when, alongside that machine's inspections and repairs.
Offline Capable
Clue works without signal and syncs automatically when connectivity returns, so a remote jobsite never means a paper fallback.
Connect Your Fleet Systems
Clue offers 80+ integrations for OEM telematics, GPS and aftermarket trackers, ERP, accounting, and CMMS systems. Engine hours sync from telematics. Teams add equipment by hand to the same fleet view.

Common questions
Construction foreman equipment app FAQ.
What can a foreman do in the Clue app?
Foremen can view equipment assigned to their jobsite, submit repair requests, run pre-shift inspection checklists, log equipment hours, and track operator assignments, all from iOS or Android. Clue Dailies lets foremen close out the day. It records the crew, equipment, materials, small tools, and production for the job, with most details filled in.
See Clue pricingHow does the repair request process work?
Foremen submit a repair request in the Clue app with a description and optional photos. The request goes to the equipment manager's queue and is assigned to a mechanic as a work order.
Can foremen complete equipment inspections on mobile?
Yes. Clue's mobile app includes configurable inspection checklists with pass/fail items and photo attachment. Completed inspections are logged and visible to the equipment manager.
How are operator assignments handled in Clue?
Equipment managers or dispatchers assign operators to equipment in Clue. Operators confirm their assignments through the app, creating a digital record the foreman can view.
