IVO Systems vs Clue

Considering Clue for equipment operations? Here’s what to know.

Clue brings equipment tracking, maintenance, telematics, and other fleet functions into one platform. But equipment operations are still only one part of the day-to-day work happening across a heavy civil operation.

IVO Systems is built to manage daily field operations as a whole, connecting the equipment side with the people and job activity around it.

FIELD ADOPTION

Keep the field focused on the work.

Keep crews informed

Employees can receive job details, equipment, notes, locations, and updates by text without needing to log into the platform for every change.

Built for daily use

Give employees a simple experience focused on the information and tasks they actually need.

Connected operations

Updates from the field flow into the same system used for equipment, scheduling, maintenance, timecards, and job activity.

IVO Systems keeps the field experience focused, lightweight, and easy to adopt while still connecting what happens in the field to the rest of your operations.

TELEMATICS

Equipment data should connect to the rest of your operations.

IVO Systems brings equipment and telematics data into the same platform used for maintenance, scheduling, dispatch, timecards, and more.

With supported ERP integrations, that equipment data can flow even further into the systems your office already uses.

  • Keep locations and meter readings current with or without telematics
  • Push equipment and telematics data into your ERP or Accounting platform
  • Connect equipment information to maintenance and the rest of field operations

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, for equipment tracking and maintenance. IVO manages assets, preventive maintenance, work orders, and inspections–the same core functions Clue is built around.

Clue is primarily focused on equipment operations. IVO includes that same equipment management, but as one piece of a broader operations platform–scheduling, dispatch, timecards, and other field workflows run alongside it, so your team isn't managing equipment in one system and everything else in another.

IVO is designed for straightforward rollout and adoption, often completed in days, not weeks or months.

Because the platform is modular, implementation can stay focused on the workflows your company actually needs rather than forcing your team to adopt everything at once.

The goal is to get the right tools into the hands of the right people without software implementation becoming its own project.

Your Test Drive is also an opportunity to talk through your specific systems, workflows, integrations, and implementation requirements before you make a decision.

IVO integrates with major accounting and ERP systems so operational data can move between the field and back office without unnecessary double entry. Formal ERP integrations include:

  • Viewpoint Vista
  • Viewpoint Spectrum
  • FOUNDATION®
  • Sage 100 Contractor
  • Sage 300 CRE

Additional integration options may be available depending on your systems and requirements.

On the equipment side, IVO takes a telematics-agnostic approach–rather than requiring your fleet to run on a specific tracking hardware or provider, IVO brings data from the systems you already use into a single connected view.

No. IVO is a web-based platform that runs in a browser on desktops, tablets, and phones. It doesn't take up storage on your field employees' phones, and there's no trip to the app store for updates–IVO is just always up to date. You can also pin it to your home screen so it looks and feels just like a native app.

IVO offers company-wide access with one annual subscription based on your company size and selected modules. After your first demo, we'll provide customized pricing that fits your exact needs. Full-system pricing typically ranges from $6,000 to over $50,000 per year.
