Trimble Unveils Construction
Logistics Mobile App
Trimble introduced TrimView Direct, a mobile applica-
tion that leverages existing real-time data collected by
Trimble’s TrimFleet Suite for the ready mix concrete in-
dustry. Trimble has teamed with development partner
BCMI to expand on how that data is viewed and used
by top-level management.
The announcement was made
at the World of Concrete.
Using TrimView Direct, ready mix
producers and management
across the organization have
real-time access to critical data
that impact their daily business
decisions. The app collects in-
formation from existing systems
and integrates it in a Web-based
environment to deliver an ac-
curate view of the company’s
strengths, customer trends and
opportunities for improvement
on a mobile platform.
The app, available on iOS and
Android devices, provides a
dashboard of real-time data, in-
cluding order status, ticket de-
tails, order timelines, fleet ana-
lytics and performance, vehicle location, trip status,
signal health, driver hours and performance. The data
can be filtered and viewed using maps, graphs, charts
and timelines for a visual representation of critical in-
formation.
TrimView Direct is organized in modes: delivery, fleet
and driver. Navigating using scrolling menus and toggle
screens, users can tap or swipe the page to instantly
find and record data.
For example, managers use the fleet dashboard to
see average cycle miles, cur-
rent fleet usage, average costs,
signal health and delivery per-
formance for a fleet, plant, truck
or group of trucks. Sales and
account managers who are on
a customer site can reference
data in the field, including order
status, performance, timeline
and ticket information.
“Our work with BCMI empow-
ers today’s mobile worker,” said
Glenn Bramer, director of mar-
keting for Trimble Construction
Logistics. “As we continue to de-
velop solutions that transform
the way work is done, we must
look at how we can extend valu-
able information beyond desk-
top users and enable manage-
ment to make smarter decisions
anytime, anywhere. TrimView Di-
rect is a bold step in this direction.”
TrimView Direct is expected to be available in March
for concrete operations directly through Trimble’s Con-
struction Logistics sales organization.
