Geotab Inc. announced its commitment to construction with the launch of Geotab Build. The strategic expansion applies the engineering rigor, scale, and security of the company’s telematics platform to the off-highway market.

Announced March 3 in Las Vegas, at CONEXPO, Geotab Build is positioned as a single integrated solution that unifies on-highway vehicles with off-highway assets, turning raw data into high-trust analytics and insights designed to support construction businesses.

For the first time, mixed-fleet operators can manage construction machinery, specialty equipment, and on-road fleets through a single, unified environment, according to Geotab.

The construction industry has long faced a challenge around fragmentation. Digitized operations are often split into silos, forcing contractors to manage on-highway vehicles and off-road assets in separate, non-communicating systems. 

Geotab Build prioritizes the challenging tasks of data ingestion and normalization across hundreds of machine types, so mixed-fleet operators can access reliable, decision-grade insights. The approach maps productivity and safety standards directly to the equipment's DNA to ensure insights are grounded in truth.

Unified Command Through a Single Platform

For construction fleets, that connection matters. Many contractors already rely on telematics to manage their trucks. Bringing heavy equipment, specialty machinery, and tools into the same ecosystem could help streamline oversight, improve utilization tracking, and create a clearer operational picture across the jobsite.

Geotab Build brings construction machinery, specialty equipment, tools, and on-road fleets together into one secure environment. The platform is designed to provide seamless integration while ensuring visibility of tools and equipment, even when powered vehicles leave the site.

“Construction needs to operationalize to keep pace with an accelerating world,” said Neil Cawse, CEO of Geotab. “Geotab Build will deliver the essential data foundation required to activate our AI expertise in the field, pulling fragmented jobsite information into one place to support better decision-making and more transparent management.”

By consolidating data across mixed fleets, the company says contractors can move beyond disconnected reporting and toward a more unified command view of operations.

Building a High-Trust Data Foundation

Geotab emphasized that construction management is defined by its nuances, and that generic data cannot capture the operational reality of a jobsite.

“Construction management is defined by its nuances, and generic data simply cannot capture the operational reality of a jobsite,” said Dave Swan, vice president, Off-Highway at Geotab. “By focusing on the integrity of the data foundation, we are providing the intelligence required to move beyond basic tracking and toward true, high-trust business decisions for improved asset performance, utilization, and operational efficiency.”

Geotab Build demos are available for prospective partners in the United States and Canada. Early access for select strategic customers begins in the second quarter of 2026, with general availability planned for the fourth quarter of 2026. More information is available at geotab.com/build.
