Alternatives

Tenna Alternatives, Compared

Tenna is a well-regarded construction equipment platform that pairs software with its own GPS trackers and cameras, and in July 2026 it added Asset Financials for job costing. Teams evaluate alternatives for three reasons: the John Deere acquisition (announced January 2026, closed February 2026) raises fair questions for mixed-OEM fleets, pricing is quote-based and adds hardware per asset, and the platform is construction-only.

Switching is the easy part

Import from Tenna in minutes

Already running Tenna? Torgix brings your whole fleet over: no rebuild, no spreadsheet surgery, no lost history.

1Export your asset list. Any CSV or Excel export from Tenna works, and Torgix shows you exactly where to find it.
2Drop it in. Columns map automatically, and anything Torgix does not recognize becomes a custom field instead of getting lost.
3Bring your service history. Dates, work done, and costs import too, so True Cost prices your fleet from day one.

Re-running an import is always safe: duplicates are matched, never doubled.

By what you need

The alternatives, by what you actually need

If OEM independence and no new hardware are the point

Torgix is independent and telematics-agnostic: it pulls hours and location from whichever providers are already on your machines, with no OEM affiliation shaping which equipment is best supported. It covers the maintenance work, computes true cost of ownership per asset automatically, builds parts ordering into the work order (1.4M+ catalog), and runs rental revenue: contracts, customers, returns. Flat tier pricing from $99/month, unlimited users at every tier, and it serves marine, environmental services, and aviation in addition to construction.

Clue is also telematics-agnostic and construction-focused, aggregating data from the GPS providers you already run, with equipment cost analytics and a conversational AI assistant. Pricing is quote-based. The most direct like-for-like Tenna replacement on the tracking side.

If you want a construction suite

HCSS Equipment360 is the maintenance module of the established HCSS heavy-civil suite. Strongest when you already run HeavyBid or HeavyJob and want equipment maintenance integrated with estimating and job costing.

If hardware, cameras, and compliance drive the purchase

Samsara supplies its own telematics and camera hardware with strong driver-safety and compliance programs, plus maintenance features. A single-vendor hardware-and-software answer, typically quoted with a multi-year commitment. Fleetio fits when the fleet is predominantly on-road vehicles rather than yellow iron; it prices per asset and is software-only.

The honest caveat

When Tenna is still the right answer

If you want one vendor to supply both tracking hardware and software for a construction fleet, and especially if you run predominantly Deere iron where deeper OEM integration is a plausible benefit, Tenna remains built for exactly that, with a large construction customer base and a real maintenance suite. The case for an alternative is strongest when your fleet is mixed-OEM and you want your software vendor unaffiliated with any one manufacturer, when hardware-per-asset economics fail, or when you need rental revenue and cost of ownership rather than tracking.

Common questions

Tenna alternatives, answered

Is Tenna owned by John Deere?

Yes. John Deere announced its acquisition of Tenna on 6 January 2026 and completed it in February 2026. Tenna continues to operate as an independent business under its own name, marketed to construction customers.

What is the best Tenna alternative for a mixed-OEM fleet?

Torgix and Clue are both telematics-agnostic and OEM-independent, so they work the same across Cat, Komatsu, Volvo, and Deere iron. Torgix adds true cost of ownership per asset, built-in parts ordering, and a rental revenue module on a published flat price; Clue centers on tracking, maintenance scheduling, and cost analytics with quote-based pricing.

Does Tenna handle equipment rental revenue?

Tenna manages the equipment a contractor owns; it does not include a module for renting equipment out to customers. Torgix includes rental contracts, customers, returns, and revenue in the same system as maintenance. Confirm Tenna's current capabilities on its website.

Before you decide

Software changes what your maintenance costs. It does not change what your machines cost you to own and run today, and that is the number this decision should start from. Work yours out in a couple of minutes, free and with no sign up.
