There are plenty of tools out there that can help you track maintenance requests, but only a few are purpose built for construction equipment and construction shops and field mechanics. Construction businesses will benefit most from software that:

Automates maintenance scheduling to avoid missing critical service, reduce human error and prevent unexpected breakdowns
Provides real-time equipment health monitoring for data-driven maintenance decisions
Keeps a digitized, live library of parts for inventory management and smoother maintenance requests, work orders, and emergency repairs
Tracks mechanic time to keep tabs on not only resource needs but also the true cost of equipment repairs and maintenance
Connects directly to equipment inspections for safety and immediate attention to equipment repair and servicing needs.
Centralizes record-keeping for regulatory compliance and equipment reliability tracking
Offers comprehensive reporting with insights into equipment performance and maintenance history
Includes mobile access for field teams to update and retrieve information quickly
Integrates with construction ERPs to centralize cost data.

With over 750 construction companies relying on Tenna, we’ve built deep expertise in what contractors actually need from construction equipment maintenance software. Working across diverse fleet sizes and equipment types, we’ve learned what separates truly construction-focused solutions from generic tools.

1. Tenna

Tenna is a complete construction technology platform designed to help contractors maximize mixed fleets with solutions that connect field, shop, and office. Our computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) handles everything from preventative maintenance schedules to mechanic workloads, helping you extend equipment lifespan and increase equipment uptime.

Maintenance Requests

When you use our CMMS software, there’s no need for field teams to leave the jobsite to report equipment problems. Workers submit maintenance tasks through the Tenna mobile app using voice memos or text notes, while managers can track request status with detailed asset-level data to prioritize workloads.

Preventative Maintenance

Skip the one-size-fits-all approach and set the right maintenance schedule for each piece of fleet equipment. Create schedules based on equipment usage, including hours, miles, or calendar days. When preventive maintenance tasks are due, Tenna automatically creates maintenance requests, helping you avoid missing critical service intervals even during busy project periods.

Real Contractors, Real Results

Equipment operations using Tenna report achieving 100% on-time preventative maintenance compliance and eliminating compliance backlogs. Want to know more? Read through preventative maintenance use cases and results from contractors just like you.

Fault Codes and Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)

Know exactly what’s wrong with your equipment before sending a mechanic. GPS trackers send equipment fault codes directly to Tenna, speeding up response times and converting fault codes to maintenance requests with one click.

The diagnostic trouble code feature pulls information directly from your vehicle’s electronic control unit, helping shop teams understand root causes rather than just symptoms.

Parts Management

Stop wasting time hunting for parts across multiple locations or facilities. The built-in parts catalog and inventory tracking shows what’s available where. Request parts through the app, track lifecycles and warranties, and prevent inventory shortages that delay repairs.

The system alerts you when parts reach minimum quantities and tracks fulfillment status, helping you avoid scheduling delays without overstocking inventory. By having accurate parts information and diagnostic data at your fingertips, you eliminate wasted service trips. In fact, contractors have saved $500 to $1,500 per service trip by reducing diagnostic dead runs and ensuring the right parts are on hand before mechanics arrive.

Time Cards

Spend mechanics’ time wisely — on the right jobs and costs. With Tenna, mechanics log time against sites, assets, work orders, and specific maintenance requests. Make them work for your team by customizing time types and class codes and setting labor cost rates. Then, incorporate your approval process for more efficient time card reviews.

Cost Codes

Tenna’s cost codes are fully customizable, giving you complete visibility into equipment maintenance expenses. Associate cost codes with preventative maintenance, work orders, mechanic time cards, and more. This helps with accurate job costing, identifying problematic assets, and getting a complete understanding of your finances.

Repair Documentation and Reporting

Effective maintenance of your construction equipment does more than just reduce idle time and keep equipment running — it impacts your bottom line. Tenna helps you control operating costs by minimizing unexpected repairs and labor expenses and retain better compliance documentation and equipment records for regulatory requirements.

Tenna’s robust reporting includes:

Parts consumption
Maintenance records
Failed mechanical inspection forms
Rental cost reports
And other performance reports

Customer Support

Tenna’s support starts with hands-on implementation and continues for the life of your account. When questions arise, you can speak directly with an expert or use our online help system with step-by-step guides and videos.

To set up your team for success, we also offer SOP consultations, specialized mechanic certification training, a dedicated account rep, and role-based training customized to each user’s specific needs.

Feature Examples in Practice

Preventive Maintenance Scheduling: You have 20 pieces of heavy equipment running different hours each day on active projects. Instead of servicing everything on a fixed schedule, Tenna pulls actual usage data and automatically creates maintenance requests when specific equipment hits its service threshold, so your dozers and excavators get maintained based on real wear, not guesswork.

Work Order Management: A mechanic in the shop notices a hydraulic issue on a loader that’s three miles away on an active job site. Instead of making a phone call and waiting for someone to relay the message, he submits a work order through the mobile app with a voice memo describing the problem. The site manager sees it immediately, prioritizes it against other equipment issues, and coordinates the repair without project delays.

Parts Management: Your shop needs a specific bearing for a compressor repair, but you’re not sure if it’s in stock at your main facility or at the satellite location. Tenna’s parts catalog shows exactly where the bearing is, tracks warranty status, and alerts you when inventory runs low so you grab the right part without delays and avoid ordering duplicates you don’t need.

Compliance Tracking: A state inspector shows up asking for all maintenance records on 15 pieces of equipment from the past two years. Instead of pulling boxes of paperwork, you generate a digital report showing every service date, repair, inspection, and certification; all organized by asset and ready to audit.

What Real Customers Are Saying About Tenna

“We can now focus on being proactive with PMs and not reactive. Collecting hours daily gives our mechanics better insight into the health of our machines and allows them to create more realistic schedules. This, partnered with accurate locations of equipment has allowed us to better plan services and cut down on travel time.”

-Pat L., Project Manager, Severino Trucking

“We save money in preventive maintenance. So, we’re able to get things on time and down the road parts aren’t breaking down as fast.”

Mike B., General Superintendent, Zefiro
