What it doesProcurement platform for construction fleet teams that the vendor calls AI-powered: field crews report equipment needs (repairs, parts, replacements), superintendents validate requests, and fleet operations source parts, service, equipment and freight from their own vendors and Gearflow's network, with quote comparison, routed workflows, task management, a per-request paper trail, spend insights, and integrations with existing fleet systems. AI is listed as one of three pillars ("A.I. Assisted" automation of manual work); the page does not detail specific AI features, so we tag it AI features added rather than AI-first. Homepage claims 12+ hours saved per person per week and 10%+ lower rental and repair costs (vendor claims, not verified).Equipment management software that puts equipment, vehicles, tools, attachments, and materials in one system: GPS tracking and geofences, utilization, preventive maintenance and work orders, dispatching, asset financials, AI dash cams with driver and operations scorecards, DVIR/ELD/IFTA compliance, and a Virtual Superintendent with automated load counts. Sells its own trackers (TennaCANbus, TennaCAM, TennaFLEET, and more) and integrates with OEM telematics and accounting/ERP. Vendor says 750+ construction businesses use it (vendor claim). Tenna announced Virtual Superintendent on Oct 6, 2026; its first module, Load Tracking, runs machine-learning models on 1 Hz telematics data to recognize loading, queuing, and dumping and to count haul cycles and quantities by job, with no added hardware (vendor description).
