John Deere Aquires Tenna Construction Technology

John Deere has announced plans to acquire construction technology firm Tenna, strengthening its position in the construction equipment and jobsite data space. Tenna is known for its asset tracking, telematics and jobsite management platform that helps contractors monitor equipment, tools and materials in real time. By integrating Tenna’s software and sensor-based systems with John Deere’s existing connected equipment portfolio, the combined offering aims to give construction companies deeper visibility into fleet utilization, maintenance needs and project progress.

For contractors and fleet managers, this acquisition signals a push toward tighter integration of hardware and software across jobsite operations. Tenna’s platform can tie data from heavy machinery, small tools and consumables into a single dashboard, improving planning and reducing downtime. With John Deere bringing its global support network and extensive equipment lineup, the move could accelerate adoption of digital jobsite workflows, improve asset productivity and help contractors make more informed decisions on scheduling, maintenance and capital planning.
