If your fleet includes both semi-trucks and construction equipment like backhoes, you know the struggle. Usually, you need two or three different systems just to see where your assets are. Geotab just launched “Geotab Build” to solve this. It is a single platform that handles on-highway vehicles and off-highway assets at the same time. For a new manager, this means no more logging into five different portals just to start your Monday morning.

A Single Pane of Glass for Operations

The big goal of this new tech is what Geotab calls “Unified Command.” You get a single dashboard for everything you own. This is especially helpful for managers in the construction or utility sectors. You can see exactly when a heavy-duty truck leaves the yard and where the excavator is sitting on the job site. It uses AI to turn raw data from hundreds of different machine types into insights you can actually use. You no longer have to be a data scientist to understand if your fleet is working hard or just sitting still.

Solving the Data Fragmentation Problem

The construction industry has always dealt with “fragmentation.” This is a fancy way of saying that a Caterpillar bulldozer speaks a different digital language than a Ford F-150. Geotab Build focuses on “data normalization.” It takes the mismatched data from various manufacturers and cleans it up so it looks the same on your screen. This foundation of high-quality data is what allows their AI to give you real answers. It maps the DNA of each machine to specific safety and productivity standards, so your reports are finally accurate.

Better Decision Making with Real-Time Tracking

By putting all your assets in one spot, you can see if equipment is sitting idle for too long. This helps you decide if you really need to buy another expensive machine or if you just need to move one from another job site. It takes the guesswork out of managing a complex, mixed fleet. You can even track smaller tools and specialty gear. This ensures that when a powered vehicle leaves the site, your smaller assets don’t “accidentally” disappear with it.

Launching the Future of Field Work

Geotab Build was officially unveiled at the CONEXPO event in Las Vegas. While the tech is ready for demos now, the full rollout will happen in stages. Early access for select strategic customers starts in the second quarter of 2026. General availability for the rest of the market is planned for the fourth quarter of 2026. If you are looking to future-proof your fleet, this is the time to start talking to your providers about how to move away from disconnected reporting and toward a unified view.
