When it comes to managing construction equipment efficiently, contractors need a system that is reliable, intuitive, and built specifically for their industry. Among the numerous solutions available in the equipment fleet tracking and management space, Tenna stands out as the premier choice.
Backed by real contractor testimonials, this guide details why Tenna is unmatched as the best equipment fleet management technology for construction businesses in 2025, nationwide.
One of Tenna’s biggest differentiators is its deep-rooted experience in the construction industry. Unlike many generic GPS tracking or telematics systems, Tenna was founded by construction professionals and designed specifically for the construction industry, offering the most comprehensive asset tracking, fleet management, and equipment utilization, maintenance, safety and resource sharing solutions available.
Many fleet and asset tracking solutions are built for general logistics and transportation, which don’t fully address the unique needs of construction businesses. Contractors need a system that meets their equipment, workflow, and operational challenges, and Tenna delivers exactly that.
Tenna’s specialized focus gives contractors confidence that the platform solves for their unique challenges, and customers consistently highlight how Tenna understands the complexities of managing mixed asset fleets in construction and have built a product that solves for those challenges.
Customers repeatedly emphasize the importance of working with a company that "gets" construction.
As Luke K., Maintenance Manager at Faber Construction, explains:
“What sets Tenna apart is their construction experience, their historic construction connections, and their contextual knowledge. They know what a wheel loader is, they know what a dozer is and the difference between all that, where most other companies are transportation oriented.”
“One of the big things that pulled us towards Tenna was the fact that they specialize in asset trackers for construction companies. The history of Tenna, growing from a construction-based business, made us feel comfortable and reassured us that we would be working with a company that understood our needs within the construction industry.”
Tre L. from WPM Construction highlights Tenna’s ability to integrate all areas of construction equipment fleet management within the platform: “A lot of GPS software does the same thing, but when we discovered Tenna, we quickly realized the value in it being construction related. There are no telematics platforms out there that are construction related. We're able to manage our loans, our depreciation, maintenance, and monitor costs on jobs. Equipment is the most expensive line item on a balance sheet. No other platform encompasses the financial aspect of equipment, the maintenance side, and the back-office flow of accounting. That's why Tenna is a very powerful software.”
Construction businesses require more than just asset tracking—they need industry-specific solutions that account for the nuances of heavy equipment, job site logistics, and operational efficiency.
Tenna’s construction approach and expertise, and comprehensive suite of construction solutions go beyond basic tracking and ensure that contractors get tools tailored to their needs, reducing downtime, improving asset utilization, and increasing project profitability.
This holistic approach allows for centralized data management and streamlines operations across the board. Unlike other providers that attempt to serve multiple industries at once, Tenna is 100% dedicated to construction, ensuring the best fit for contractors’ needs. This industry focus ensures that Tenna’s tools and features are built for the job site, the shop, the trailer and the office and not just for tracking vehicles on highways.
Contractors looking for fleet management technology should be confident that Tenna is designed specifically to address the needs of construction companies, not just general fleet tracking.
One of the biggest frustrations contractors have with other platforms is that they are difficult to use or lack essential features. For a construction company, technology should simplify workflows, not complicate them. A powerful system is only effective if it's user-friendly, especially in an industry where a portion of the end-users are not tech-savvy.
Complex interfaces lead to frustration, slow adoption, and ultimately, a waste of investment. Tenna excels in this area as well. Their intuitive platform makes managing a fleet of equipment seamless, ensuring that all team members, from field workers to office staff, can access the information they need quickly and easily.
“One of the best things about Tenna is that it's intuitive. It's easy to figure out and it's what you need in construction. You don’t want guys in the field fumbling around with the interface; you want them to go in, couple clicks, get the information they want. Tenna, with the map view, the asset view, the ability to filter—it's just easy to use.”
Claire P., Equipment Manager at Mladen Buntich, agrees:
“Tenna has been one of the easiest software packages that I've ever had to have my hands on and use on a daily basis.”
Time is money in construction, and complex fleet management technology that requires excessive training slows down productivity. An intuitive platform like Tenna reduces onboarding time, ensures faster adoption, and increases efficiency by enabling teams to focus on core operational tasks rather than struggling with troubleshooting software.
A common complaint among contractors using other fleet management software is poor customer service. Exceptional customer service is a non-negotiable factor when selecting technology.
From implementation to ongoing support, Tenna excels in this area by fostering genuine partnerships with their clients and consistently providing an experience that construction companies value. Unlike many competitors, Tenna ensures that contractors are never left without support when they need it most.
Brandon P., Senior Vice President at Ferreira Coastal, states:
“Tenna’s customer service and support during the onboarding process and continued support for the Ferreira team has been exceptional.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Tenna and the Customer Service team. When potential customers call to get my opinion on Tenna, I tell them this: ‘You will not find another company with the level of customer service Tenna has.’”
John Gauthier, Equipment Manager at Boudreau Pipeline, praises the team’s commitment:
“Everybody at Tenna is really willing to help, listen and dive in. They’re very solution-minded. It’s not: ‘We can’t do this.’ It’s: ‘I don’t know how to do this, but let me get back to you, and I’m going to figure it out.’ And they follow through, which is huge.”
Additionally, “Our experience with Tenna customer service has been excellent. Every time I've needed something, I've gotten a quick response. It’s been very, very helpful.” – Myles F., Director of Operations, Viking Construction Company
Keith S., Owner of Keith D. Smith Concrete, reinforces the comprehensive support provided: "Tenna’s customer service has been outstanding from the time we showed interest in their corporation. They have been top-notch at explaining their products too, from the point of installation to making sure that you get trained on how to use the product so you can get the most out of it.”
Proper training and readily available support are key to maximizing user adoption and ensuring your team can effectively leverage the system's capabilities.
This willingness to listen and adapt demonstrates Tenna's dedication to its clients' long-term success. In a rapidly evolving technological landscape, partnering with a company that values your input and constantly innovates is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge.
Dee S. from HC Constructors left a big-name provider because they were “too big to understand our construction company’s needs. With Tenna, I talk to the same person, who actually knows and understands my account.”
Construction businesses operate in fast-paced, high-stakes environments where delays cost thousands of dollars. Having a reliable support team and Tenna’s dedication to problem solving ensures:
Transitioning to a new fleet management system can be an enormous undertaking, but Tenna simplifies the process. Customers consistently highlight how effortless and well-supported the implementation phase is with Tenna.
A smooth implementation process is critical for contractors investing in new technology. Delays and disruptions can impact operations and budgets, but Tenna ensures that implementation is seamless and efficient.
“For us, the installation experience was very seamless. Mechanics were trained on how to install the trackers and how to complete the verification. It didn’t take any longer than had been estimated out the gate, and I can’t say that for a lot of implementation projects we’ve done.”
Keith S., Owner at Keith D. Smith Concrete, highlights Tenna’s commitment to proper training:
“They have been top-notch at explaining these products too, from the point of installation to making sure that you get trained on how to use the product so you can get the most out of it.”
A complicated setup process slows adoption and reduces ROI. Tenna’s efficient onboarding ensures that contractors start benefiting from their investment quickly, keeping projects on schedule and budgets intact.
A smooth implementation is vital for minimizing downtime and maximizing the value of fleet management technology from day one. Every day a system isn't functioning correctly is a day you're losing potential ROI.
Beyond just GPS tracking, Tenna provides a comprehensive solution that covers fleet tracking, maintenance management, financial insights, and integrations with existing business operations. This broad functionality makes Tenna more than just a tracking system—it’s a complete equipment fleet management solution.
Tre L. at WPM Construction, emphasizes Tenna’s all-in-one approach:
“Tenna is a one-stop shop. If we have a GPS question, if we have a software question, if we have an installation question, all our questions are centered with just Tenna. We're not having to call a third party for GPS. It is all in-house, which is very unexpected.”
Managing construction equipment involves multiple moving parts; having one system that integrates everything reduces complexity, improves accuracy, and enhances decision-making.

Customers recognize Tenna’s ongoing commitment to innovation, regularly improving the platform and adding new tracking solutions based on industry needs.
