Tenna is a construction equipment and fleet platform that pairs software with its own tracking hardware. Torgix is telematics-agnostic Equipment Intelligence for equipment-intensive operations.
Why teams switch
Tenna centers on asset tracking and telematics. Torgix turns tracking into cost intelligence — what each machine actually costs to own and run — with parts and warranty built in.

Tenna is a construction-focused equipment and fleet platform, known for combining software with its own GPS and tracking hardware for mixed construction fleets. It includes a real maintenance suite, and in July 2026 it added Asset Financials, a telematics-powered job costing and internal billing product. In early 2026, John Deere announced its acquisition of Tenna, which continues to operate under its own brand as a Deere company.
Torgix is telematics-agnostic, so it works with the providers you already run, with no proprietary hardware to buy or install. Its True Cost engine goes past job costing to the decision itself — repair it, replace it, or rent it out — and it adds a built-in parts catalog, a rental revenue module, and grounded AI, across more industries than construction alone.
Ownership
John Deere announced its acquisition of Tenna on 6 January 2026 and completed it in February 2026. Terms were not disclosed. Tenna continues to operate as an independent business under its own name, marketed to construction customers.
What that means for a buyer depends on your fleet. If you run predominantly Deere iron, deeper OEM integration is a plausible benefit. If you run mixed OEM equipment, with Cat, Komatsu, Volvo, and Deere in the same yard, it is worth asking directly how roadmap priorities and telematics support will be balanced across brands over time.
Torgix is independent and telematics-agnostic by design. It pulls hours and location from whichever providers are already on your machines, with no OEM affiliation shaping which equipment is best supported.

Which fits you
If you want a single vendor to supply both tracking hardware and software for a construction fleet, and hardware-based location tracking with AI dash cams is your priority, Tenna is built for that, with a large construction customer base.
If you want to keep the telematics you already run with no hardware to buy, see not just what each machine costs but whether to repair, replace, or rent it out, order parts from inside the work order, and run rental revenue in the same system, at published fleet-size pricing, Torgix is built for exactly that, across four industries.
Common questions
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.
