What it doesEquipment management software that puts equipment, vehicles, tools, attachments, and materials in one system for tracking, maintenance and dispatch. Features listed: 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). Re-read Oct 18, 2026: its custom inspections page lists a template builder by asset category, role or compliance need (or an inspection library), pass/fail logic, conditionally required fields, photos and e-signatures, QR-code inspections that work offline, recurring or usage-based schedules, automatic repair requests in Tenna's maintenance module for failed items, inspections attached to dispatch drop-offs, and results that feed its Operations and Safety Scorecard. Re-checked Oct 20, 2026: unchanged in substance; the homepage also announces equipment job costing and billing powered by telematics as a new product, and the menu lists parts, mechanic time cards, cost codes and a TennaQR tracker. The separate equipment-management pricing URL now redirects to the same custom pricing form. Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: unchanged in substance; the homepage now also announces Load Tracking (automated load counts in Virtual Superintendent) alongside Asset Financials (equipment job costing and billing powered by telematics), says it is trusted by 750+ construction businesses (vendor claim) and promotes TennaU Live 2026 registration. Re-checked Oct 23, 2026: the homepage now says it is trusted by 800+ construction businesses (vendor claim; earlier notes said 750+), and the menu lists a Competitor Comparison page, a Mechanic Certification Program and TennaCAM 2.0. Re-checked Oct 24, 2026: homepage unchanged in substance (trusted by 800+ construction businesses, vendor claim; Load Tracking and Asset Financials as new products; TennaU Live 2026). Its news list adds a post saying its Dispatch Command Center was named to Equipment Today's 2026 Contractors' Top 50 New Products list (Oct 13, 2026; not reviewed). Customer savings figures and quotes are vendor content and are not used. Re-checked Oct 26, 2026 (also read for a compare): homepage and pricing page unchanged in substance (mixed-fleet equipment management for equipment, vehicles, tools, attachments and materials; GPS and BLE tracking; maintenance, work orders, parts and mechanic time cards; AI dash cam, driver and operations scorecards, DVIR, ELD and IFTA; Schedule, Asset Financials, Virtual Superintendent and Load Tracking; its own TennaCANbus, TennaCAM, TennaFLEET, TennaINTEL, TennaMINI, TennaBLE and TennaQR hardware; OEM telematics and AEMP, accounting and ERP integrations). Homepage banners now promote automated load counts in Virtual Superintendent and telematics-based equipment job costing and billing (not reviewed). The 800+ customer figure is a vendor claim.Fleet and equipment telematics vendor tracking construction equipment, from yellow iron to pickup trucks, with Video AI driver monitoring. Its construction page covers: locate equipment across jobsites, engine hours and fuel, geofencing against unauthorized use or theft, idle equipment that could move to another job, preventive maintenance alerts and logs, cost-of-ownership and rent-vs-buy reporting, and monitoring of payloads, cycle times and daily production targets. Platforms named are TN360 and DIRECTOR. Video telematics is integrated into TN360, and the page says "Video AI monitors driving behavior including speeding, distracted driving and tailgating", with scorecards, coaching apps and video access for claims. Also lists aggregate mining, ready-mix concrete, asphalt/paving and construction trades. A Sherwood Construction case study says GPS tracking led police to a stolen loader backhoe and skid steer that would have cost over $160,000 to replace (vendor case study, not verified). Re-checked Oct 19, 2026: the construction page is unchanged in substance (TN360 and DIRECTOR, equipment utilization, maintenance alerts, cost-of-ownership reporting, Video AI for driver behavior, the Sherwood case study). The homepage also describes its video telematics as using AI to simplify risk management, and promotes an Energy Hub for fuel and charging data and a vendor research report on idle equipment (vendor claims, not verified). The AI described is still in driver video, so the tag stays.

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • What each sells (vendor wording): Tenna calls itself equipment management software powering mixed fleet operations, unifying equipment, vehicles, tools, attachments and materials in one system designed for construction. Teletrac Navman's construction page offers equipment management for the construction industry, from yellow iron to pickup trucks, on its TN360 and DIRECTOR platforms; its homepage serves transport, service trades, public sector and other industries too.
  • Tracking and hardware: Tenna lists GPS telematics and BLE tracking for heavy iron down to tools and attachments, its own tracker line (TennaCANbus, TennaCAM, TennaFLEET, TennaINTEL, TennaMINI, TennaBLE, TennaQR) and OEM telematics and AEMP integrations. Teletrac Navman's construction page lists locating equipment across jobsites, engine hours and fuel, geofencing against unauthorized use or theft, and flagging idle equipment that could move to another job.
  • Maintenance and cost: Tenna lists preventive maintenance, work orders, parts, mechanic time cards and cost codes, plus Asset Financials and banners for telematics-based equipment job costing and billing. Teletrac Navman lists preventive maintenance alerts and logs, cost-of-ownership and rent-vs-buy reporting, and monitoring of payloads, cycle times and daily production targets.
  • AI and safety: Tenna lists an AI dash cam with driver and operations scorecards, DVIR, ELD and IFTA, and Virtual Superintendent, with a Load Tracking module and a banner for automated load counts (not reviewed). Teletrac Navman's video telematics is integrated into TN360, and its construction page says Video AI monitors speeding, distracted driving and tailgating, with scorecards, coaching apps and video for claims; its menu also lists ELD and IFTA reporting.
  • Construction focus: Tenna's pages are construction-only (field, shop and office teams; a TennaU Live 2026 event). Teletrac Navman names aggregate mining, ready-mix concrete, asphalt and paving and construction trades as specialty industries, and its homepage features Energy Hub for fuel and charging data across mixed-energy fleets.
  • Pricing (checked Oct 26, 2026): neither publishes prices. Tenna uses a custom pricing request form (TennaCORE standard functionality plus optional Premium Products; data and hardware priced on asset count). Teletrac Navman uses a Get Pricing form and a build-your-solution product builder; /pricing returns 404.
  • Not used here: Tenna's customer count and savings quotes and Teletrac Navman's research percentages, case-study figures and customer quotes (vendor content).
