Construction Equipment Management Software for Demolition & Earthwork

Demolition and earthwork contractors run high-hour equipment in harsh conditions where downtime, idle rentals, and missed maintenance can impact production across the jobsite. Clue connects maintenance, inspections, fault codes, and work orders in one system built to keep equipment working through every phase of the job.

Equipment workflow

Most Systems Track the Job. Clue Connects the Operation.

Telehandler unloading materials with an asset card showing engine hours and repair status

Mixed-brand iron, one system

Demolition and earthwork sites blend owned equipment, rentals, and attachments on the same job. Clue connects John Deere and other OEMs through native integrations and the AEMP 2.0 standard.

Asset list with availability, return request and down status plus an assign action

Right-sized equipment for every job

A right-sized machine on a site it can work is iron that earns. Clue shows which equipment is productive, idle, underused, or ready to move so dispatchers can send the right equipment to the right job faster.

Asset operating hours, revenue, operating cost and cost per hour with maintenance history

Cost-per-hour across every job

High-hour equipment burns fuel fast, especially in harsh ground conditions. Clue tracks engine hours, idle time, fuel burn, and labor by asset, project, and cost code, surfacing real cost-per-hour and underused equipment early.

Inspections that turn into work orders

Operators complete inspections from mobile with photos and defect flags that auto-generate work orders. Field issues reach mechanics fast, so machines keep working.

Built for remote jobsites

Demolition crews work in basements. Earthwork crews work in cut pits. Tunnel demo crews work below grade with no signal. Clue's iOS and Android apps capture inspections, work orders, and fuel entries offline, and sync the moment crews surface.

Built for fast site rotation and quick setup

Demolition and earthwork crews rotate equipment between projects constantly, often across multiple active projects per quarter for large operations. Clue is built for that pace, keeping equipment assignments, crew access, and maintenance workflows connected.

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.

Across demolition and earthwork

Real Results for Demolition & Earthwork Operations

Lower the true cost of every asset

Fuel and depreciation make up most equipment ownership costs, and on demolition and earthwork sites, both stack up fast. Clue tracks engine hours, idle time, fuel burn, and utilization so teams can raise utilization and lower the true cost of every asset in the fleet.

Keep maintenance on schedule

Demolition work wears equipment faster than standard excavation. High-impact attachments and heavy debris put extra stress. Clue lets teams schedule preventive maintenance by engine hours or calendar intervals based on how equipment actually gets used in the field.

Keep crews safer across active jobsites

Clue helps demolition and earthwork teams strengthen safety and keep insurance claims and lost-time incidents low. Daily inspections, toolbox talks, geofence alerts, and time-stamped field activity help crews document hazards, monitor active work areas, and support OSHA, EPA, and project safety reviews.

Connect the 80+ systems you already use

Demolition and earthwork operations sit on top of OEM telematics, GPS providers, rental platforms, ERPs, and CMMS; most contractors already pay for several. Clue connects 80+ of them into one connected system so equipment data flows from field to office on the systems you already run.

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.

What contractors say

“Our field guys were tired of having a new product, a new something to learn each time.”

Rob Judge, Sr. Procurement & Program Manager

“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.”

Brent Scarbrough & Company

“There were entire teams dedicated to approving spreadsheets one by one.”

Fort McKay First Nation

“The biggest difference has been the user friendliness.”

William A. Hazel

“It exposes dead cost or overhead that maybe we don’t know about because it gets lost in those three different systems.”

Moss Utilities

“Clue’s real-time data capability has completely changed the way we manage our assets.”

Darrin Sheriff, Director of Maintenance and Purchasing

“It was probably taking the better part of a day to combine all the data from the telematics.”

Derek Wolfe, Equipment Manager, George Igel Co.

“Clue allows us to effectively control our operations: financially, effectively and safely.”

Joseph Yammine, Project Manager, Graham

“QR codes have been a game changer for us with regards to operator inspections.”

Ben Benoit, Operations Manager

Common questions

Demolition and earthwork equipment management FAQ.

How is Clue different from demolition estimating software?

Estimating software helps demolition contractors bid the work, measuring quantities and generating cost estimates before the project starts. Clue handles what happens after the job is won, tracking the equipment doing the demo, managing maintenance, monitoring utilization, and controlling costs through every phase. Most contractors use both, with Clue integrating to the estimating system for asset cost data.

See Clue pricing

Clue pricing is based on fleet size, connected systems, and the workflows your team needs. Modules include equipment tracking, dispatch, maintenance, and equipment operations with onboarding and support options for teams of different sizes.

Construction equipment management software tracks equipment, manages maintenance, monitors utilization, and reduces downtime across heavy iron. Clue does this for enterprise demolition and earthwork fleets across heavy equipment by connecting OEM telematics, inspections, work orders, and cost data in one platform.

Yes. Clue connects John Deere and other OEMs through native integrations and the AEMP 2.0 standard. Rental equipment integrates separately through GPS providers like Samsara, Geotab, and EquipmentShare.
