5 Best Fleet Management Solutions for Construction in 2025

Fleet management is essential for construction companies looking to maximize productivity, reduce equipment downtime, and keep operational costs in check. While many fleet management solutions exist, not all are designed with the unique needs of construction in mind.

In this section, we evaluate five top fleet management solutions for 2025, emphasizing their effectiveness for construction companies.

1. Tenna – The All-in-One Construction Asset & Fleet Management Powerhouse

When it comes to fleet management solutions purpose-built for construction, Tenna leads the way.

Why Tenna Stands Out:

• Construction-Centric Platform – Unlike generic systems, Tenna is engineered specifically for the rugged, fast-paced world of construction.
• Deep Integrations – Seamlessly connects with ERPs, rental systems, and project management tools like Procore and Viewpoint.
• Multi-Asset Tracking – This system uses GPS, Bluetooth, and QR codes. It helps track heavy equipment, tools, trucks, and materials in one platform.
• Safety Cameras – Tenna not only equips customers with trackers and equipment management software solutions but also has safety cameras equipped with AI technology to detect and warn drivers of internal distractions and external hazards (on the road and on the jobsite) and protect businesses from litigation and insurance claims.
• Driver Coaching – Tenna integrates driver coaching tools into fleet software so managers can see individual driver performance with Driver Scorecards as well as across a mixed fleet all on one platform.
• Fleet Compliance – Tenna’s systems automate compliance for fleet owners, including ELD and IFTA tracking and DVIRs.
• Dedicated Support – Domestic, hands-on customer service account managers for every customer plus in-house installation and training teams.
• Real-Time Data & Analytics – Advanced utilization metrics, maintenance scheduling, safety and compliance, and resource planning for optimized decision-making.

ROI for Contractors:

Tenna reduces idle time, prevents equipment loss, and improves efficiency—driving higher profits and better jobsite coordination. By consolidating all equipment management efforts onto one platform, opposed to multiple point solutions, contractors can streamline processes internally and leverage all their data to make smarter business decisions—and, ultimately, save money.

2. Samsara – Versatile, but Not Construction-Focused

Samsara is a strong contender in the broader IoT and fleet telematics space. While it offers a wide feature set, it lacks construction-specific depth that contractors need in a fleet management solution.

Strengths:

• Strong vehicle telematics with GPS tracking and driver behavior monitoring.
• Easy-to-use mobile app and plug-and-play hardware.
• Integrations with some ERP and maintenance systems.

Weaknesses:

• Industry Agnostic – Designed for multiple industries, which means less emphasis on and understanding of construction industry specifics and operational workflows.
• Durability Issues – Bluetooth trackers reportedly lack ruggedness for harsh environments.
• Limited Support – Largely ticket-based support system with slower response times.
• Missing Construction Workflows – No built-in tools for jobsite visibility, work orders, or resource allocation.

Bottom Line:

Samsara offers great features for on-road fleet but falls short in construction-specific functionality and industry understanding.

3. Verizon Connect – Strong on Fleet, Weak on Equipment Visibility

Verizon Connect excels in GPS vehicle tracking but doesn’t provide a full asset management platform for
construction needs.

Strengths:

• Solid fleet tracking with GPS and ELD compliance tracking.
• Decent route optimization and driver safety tools.

Weaknesses:

• No Equipment-Level Insights – Focuses mostly on vehicles, not construction equipment or small tools.
• Single Tech Stack – Limited to GPS tracking without Bluetooth.
• Lacks Workflow Integration – Doesn’t align with construction project lifecycles or jobsite operations.
• Lack of Support – Hard to reach a customer support representative or troubleshoot hardware issues. Installs are done by a third-party provider.

Verdict:

A good option for fleet-only tracking, but not comprehensive enough for contractors managing mixed assets and jobsite workflows.

4. Fleetio – Generalist Platform with Gaps in Construction Capabilities

Fleetio is a widely used fleet management platform that caters to a variety of industries. While its user-friendly interface and vehicle maintenance features are appealing, Fleetio falls short for construction companies looking to manage mixed fleets, heavy iron, and jobsite-specific operations.

Strengths:

• Strong vehicle maintenance tracking and reminders
• Mobile-friendly design with a modern, clean UI
• Integrates with several third-party providers for GPS, fuel,
  and safety data

Weaknesses:

• Not Construction-Focused – Serves a broad range of industries and lacks the built-in tools construction companies rely on, like
  jobsite-level tracking and mixed asset visibility.
• Third-Party Hardware Dependency – GPS, telematics, and fuel tracking require integration with external providers.
• No ERP Integration – Fleetio doesn’t connect with construction ERPs like Viewpoint or Sage.
• No Jobsite Context – Data capture is fleet-centric with no ability to associate asset usage with specific jobsites, making it harder to inform project-level decisions or accurately recover costs.
• Support Limitations – Standard onboarding is largely self-guided.

5. VisionLink – Tied to Caterpillar, Limited in Flexibility

VisionLink, powered by CAT, is great if you are exclusively a CAT shop. But many construction companies own and operate fleets of both mixed manufacturers, and mixed asset classes, and VisionLink only supports Caterpillar telematics.

Strengths:

• Good for heavy equipment data from CAT machines.
• Offers maintenance alerts and basic tracking.

Weaknesses:

• Delayed Updates – 10-minute data intervals, not real-time visibility.
• Missing Operational Tools – No native support for scheduling, work orders, or time tracking.
• Expensive – Up to $36/month per asset with tiered pricing.
• Inconsistent Support – Dealer-based support creates variability in service quality.

Best For:

Fleets dominated by CAT equipment, not diverse assets and workflows.

Final Thoughts: Why Tenna Is the Leading Fleet Management Solution for
Construction in 2025

In a crowded market of fleet management solutions, Tenna stands apart as the most comprehensive, construction-specific platform—purpose-built to meet the unique operational, environmental, and data-driven demands of contractors and equipment-intensive businesses.

Unlike generalist platforms that only offer GPS tracking or vehicle-focused telematics, Tenna delivers a holistic asset management ecosystem designed for the real-world needs of the jobsite.

From heavy iron to small tools, from on-road fleets to off-road equipment, Tenna enables construction companies to track, manage, maintain, and optimize everything they own or rent—all from a single, centralized platform.

Purpose Built Products That Go Beyond Traditional Telematics

Tenna doesn’t just retrofit a fleet platform for construction—it designs solutions from the ground up with contractors in mind:

Built for Harsh Environments and Real Construction Workflows

What truly makes Tenna unmatched is its rugged, field-tested hardware combined with a software platform that mirrors the realities of construction project management.

Tenna puts its products through the ringer when it comes to testing hardware, which is why products like our new BLE Beacon SP2 can stand direct impact, is rated IP68, providing protection against dirt and water immersion, and is rated IP69k to withstand high pressure and high temperature washdowns of equipment.

From multi-site operations to dynamic field conditions, Tenna ensures your data is:

More Than Just Tracking: Tenna Powers Decisions

With powerful reporting dashboards and mobile-friendly tools, Tenna enables better resource allocation,
preventive maintenance planning, labor and asset utilization, project cost control and more.

And all this comes with best-in-class customer service, including:

• • Onsite installation by in-house mechanics and installation team, opposed to relaying on your own team to learn new tech without support
  • U.S.-based support and dedicated success managers available whenever you need them to trouble shoot or provide advice
  • Optional addition of mechanic certification training so internal teams can perform flawless hardware installations, troubleshoot issues on their own, and maintain tracking devices with confidence

These are critical success features that other fleet management providers simply don’t offer.
