Tenna

Software, hardware, optional products, and implementation based on your fleet setup

Tenna is built around the fleet. IVO goes further.

Tenna’s core strength is the telematics hardware that it provides, along with fleet management.

IVO Systems gives contractors the equipment visibility they need while connecting that information to the people and daily field operations around it.

FIELD ADOPTION

Keep the field focused on the work.

No app download required

Field users access IVO from a mobile browser, saving device storage and getting updates automatically without another app to manage.

Built for daily operations

Equipment, schedules, timecards, maintenance, and other field information all work together in the same platform.

Get started fast

IVO modules can be implemented in days, without requiring a fleet-wide tracker installation.

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

One fleet. More than one way to track it.

IVO is telematics-agnostic, letting you combine OEM data, third-party GPS, Bluetooth trackers, scheduled moves, and manual updates based on what makes sense for each asset.

Equipment tracking has been core to IVO from the beginning, but the platform doesn’t require a tracker-first approach.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, for equipment tracking and maintenance. Tenna is a telematics hardware provider that also offers fleet management tools, including maintenance and inspections. IVO covers those same core functions as part of a broader operations platform.

Tenna is a telematics hardware provider that also offers fleet management tools. 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 no seat-based licensing. You pay one annual subscription fee based on your company size and selected modules, with no tracking hardware to purchase. 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.

Looking beyond equipment management? Put IVO Systems on the list.

IVO Systems brings equipment management together with the rest of your daily field operations in one connected platform.
