SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble
(NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today that it is establishing a dedicated
Business Solutions group within its Agriculture Division to support
the more complex needs of agricultural leaders. The Trimble
Agriculture Business Solutions group will provide customers with
technology integration across their business and data solutions
enabling them to improve operational efficiencies and enhance
decision-making throughout the value chain.
Agriculture customers are adopting technology solutions in
multiple areas of their business. With agronomic, logistics,
operational, financial and mobile technologies all advancing
simultaneously, these customers require a partner that can provide
expertise across business platforms. The Agriculture Business
Solutions group combines portfolios from Agri-Data, the Connected
Farm™ solution, Farm Works Software® solution, Cengea® Ag and Iron
Solutions. These key components will be linked, benefitting
customers who can now solve complex technology problems with a
single provider—Trimble.
"Trimble is transforming the way the agriculture value chain
works," said Darryl Matthews, senior
vice president and sector head of Trimble. "Unfortunately, many of
the existing software solutions are either point solutions or are
tied to a particular line of equipment or crop input. As a result,
agricultural businesses are forced to implement multiple software
solutions to manage their operations, leading to integration and
maintenance burdens that inhibit growth. To address this issue, we
have integrated multiple technologies—from hardware to software to
mobile devices—to enable our customers to succeed. With software
and services that work with a broad range of equipment
manufacturers and crop inputs, Trimble is well positioned to
partner with customers to enable them to more quickly experience
the benefits that today's technologies deliver."
Trimble's expertise in agricultural technology supports farmers,
agronomists, agricultural retailers, food processors and
distributors throughout the supply chain as they continue to
implement technology solutions. An added level of service and
support is available through Trimble's Vantage™ distribution
network, which provides customers with precision agriculture
experts who deliver a premier level of technical expertise,
customer service and support capabilities.
Over the last decade, Trimble has continued to advance its
integrated agricultural software and services solutions that touch
nearly every aspect of the agriculture supply chain, including:
- Trimble's total farm management system—which integrates data
from most types of equipment, farm practices, crop types, and
over various computing devices (guidance displays, desktop
computers, smartphones)—to facilitate collaboration between farmers
and the partners they interact with every day.
- Access to an extended network of over 200 trusted advisors
through Trimble's AGRI-TREND® Coaches. These advisors, backed by a
team of over 30 credentialed experts, provide research, training
and insight to customers needing professional support.
- Contract management tools that enable the management of
multiple environments relating to food production, grain
procurement, sustainability and raw commodity procurement.
- Access to food traceability and quality inspection solutions
throughout the fresh food supply chain. These tools enable food
producers, distributors and retailers to meet food safety
requirements, secure their supply chain and optimize product
freshness and quality.
