Trimble has embraced the Apple App Store model with its Trimble App Xchange and it is off to a good start with over a hundred apps that tie into Trimble software. These apps enable users to link data across multiple platforms throughout various project phases.
Trimble’s App Exchange will open another dimension to construction professionals, giving them the autonomy to set up these integrations themselves without the need for IT support or having to rely on customized solutions by developers.
Designed for flexibility, these apps help contractors and project managers address unique project requirements, enhancing their ability to track budgets, schedules, and documentation in real-time.
“We are committed to helping our customers achieve greater productivity and better outcomes by simplifying technology integration,” says Elwyn McLachlan, VP of Trimble’s Project and Program Management Division. “By fostering connectivity and data flow, Trimble’s latest tools aim to improve productivity and deliver smoother, more coordinated construction projects.”
A few of what’s in store:
TOOLTRIBE uses Implemtor to build an integration between Trimble ViewpointVista and their cloud-based app.
“Getting data in and out of App Xchange has been very clear and straightforward,” said Kav Latiolais, software engineer at TOOLTRIBE.
Document Crunch which claims to simplify complex construction documents, identifies project risks and streamlines critical workflows to support better project outcomes.
ProjectMark is a construction-specific customer relationship management (CRM) system that helps contractors enhance their digital presence and improve client acquisition.
“Having all Trimble integrations in one place makes it easy for contractors to pick and choose the solutions that best fit their specific needs — whether they be financial or project-related,” said Peppler. “It also helps make the construction industry more approachable to technology startups by providing entrepreneurs an easy way to interconnect their solution with others, driving up the value to contractors who are explicitly looking to make their businesses more efficient and profitable.”
App Xchange is available as part of Trimble Construction One, a connected suite of software solutions that automates workflows and synchronizes data so that contractors can more easily design, build and maintain their projects.
