Data-Driven Equipment Management for Horizontal Construction
In this episode of AEC Traiblazers, we dive deep into the world of construction equipment management with Oded Ran, CEO of Clue Insights, a game-changing company driving efficiency across the industry.
With over 20 years of experience in mobile software and SaaS, Oded shares his expertise on PLG (Product-Led Growth) strategies and what it takes to optimize a company’s most valuable assets: its equipment.
You’ll learn how Clue is empowering heavy civil and road construction firms to get the most out of their fleets and why equipment managers, from mechanics to dispatchers, rely on their integrated, cloud-based solutions.
Through powerful anecdotes and practical insights, Oded discusses how construction firms are leaving behind “sales-driven” models and focusing on real, data-driven optimization.
He also emphasizes the importance of customer collaboration, highlighting, “Don’t fall in love with your product. Instead, spend time with the person you’re aiming to serve.”
Tune in to discover how Oded’s team integrates with over 70 systems, works with top-tier firms like Vinci and Archer Western and is reshaping how the equipment management space functions.
