Trimble Expands Field-to-Office Connectivity for Civil Contractors

by | Apr 25, 2025

A new update is making life easier for civil construction teams by syncing field progress with plans smoothly. It helps reduce delays, avoid errors, and keep billing on track.
Trimble Siteworks software produces precise 3D data sets assessing production quantities achieved, which can now be requested from and transferred to the B2W Track performance tracking application.

WESTMINSTER, CO, Apr 25, 2025 – Trimble has integrated B2W Track with Trimble Siteworks software systems to support automated tracking of material quantities for earthwork and civil projects. The update helps contractors align actual progress with project plans accurately. Regular tracking of field progress helps contractors adjust operations and bill precisely as work increments are completed.

“Civil contractors must continuously evaluate how well projects are progressing against budgets, timelines and productivity goals,” said John Sheedy, director of product management at Trimble. “Relying on phone calls, forms, emails and other disconnected communications tools to report on production quantities limits timeliness and accuracy of that reporting. This new software integration brings automation to the process to increase efficiency, eliminate errors and provide an auditable progress trail for billable milestones.”

The new Trimble progress-to-plan reporting workflow allows project managers create requests for quantity measurements, like the amount of material added, moved, or removed at a site, within the B2W Track performance tracking application. These requests are relayed to field personnel who use Siteworks software to complete the task with survey-grade accuracy and send the data back to B2W Track via Wi-Fi connections. B2W Track users then reviews and validate the data and reconcile it with information from sources like the field logs. Production quantity data can also be transferred from B2W Track to Trimble Viewpoint Vista, Viewpoint Spectrum accounting systems, or third-party construction accounting systems.

Integrating Construction Solutions for a Connected Jobsite

Trimble Siteworks software provides construction surveying, machine guidance, and site management capabilities. For tracking production quantity, devices with Siteworks software measure distances, angles, and elevations on job sites. They then process the 3D data to calculate production quantities in linear distances, areas, and volumes.

B2W Track is a Trimble application for tracking performance in civil construction. It uses customized electronic daily logs and field-centric reports to collect and analyze data on productivity, labor, materials, and equipment usage.

“This new integration advances the Trimble Construction One vision of connected workflows and data,” said Steve DiBenedetto, product manager at Trimble. “The intuitive process removes friction, delays and risk for errors and makes essential progress-to-plan data available with the push of a few buttons. By building on and linking existing B2W Track and Siteworks software capabilities, we’ve made it easy for new and existing users to automate this important reporting process at no additional cost.”

Availability

The integration of Trimble Siteworks software and B2W Track is available in North America at no extra cost for contractors who hold licenses for both software systems.
