INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS
Fabrication and manufacturing
Connected production and content tools that tell all
Reduce fabrication errors and production inefficiencies. Trimble digital fabrication and building product manufacturing solutions tell you everything you need to know about your processes and job progress from one source. Access cost and duration data that enables improvements. Get more of your products into more projects and create a BIM-powered feedback loop that gives you insight into who is buying and installing your products.
TIME TO STREAMLINE
Know your fabrication processes inside and out
The more you know, the more waste you can cut and profits you can show
There are dozens of steps in a fabrication process, i.e. dozens of opportunities for inefficiencies. If you don’t have your eye on every stage, these inefficiencies can compound and quickly affect your bottom line.
Trimble’s fabrication and manufacturing software solutions put all of your production data and job progress in one place. Analyze your data to remove inefficiencies or use it as a marketing tool to prove your abilities.
3D modeling
Create highly detailed shop fabrication drawings and share directly with the field for installation. Make real-time updates as field conditions change and the design needs to be modified.
BIM collaboration
Grant sitewide access to a unified BIM model. Every team member uses the most up-to-date design information, reducing rework and delays.
Project management
Store all project data and documents in one cloud-based system. Information is always accessible and updated, so every stakeholder can get the information they need.
Estimating and takeoff
Add-on estimation software stores company-specific workflows and historical cost data. Feel confident bidding on more projects with accurate information.
Design management
Rely on one centralized project model that the designers design from and the builders build from. Ensure installation accuracy by always accessing the most up-to-date model.
Procurement
Create clear purchasing plans with intuitive tools and material databases that enable better buying visibility and control.
Accounting
Use a modern ERP solution to improve job cost accounting and provide accurate reporting in real-time—saving resources, time and frustration among your construction accounting professionals.
