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.

Take control over your production

Manage and store data from every stage of the product lifecycle, including schedules, budgets, and drawings. Share job progress and manage changes with internal and external stakeholders.

Use data to drive efficiencies

Monitor productivity and efficiency with real-time, interactive dashboards. Use historical data to reduce waste, improve operations, and increase profits.

Digital processes sell your product

How your team manages production can be just as important as the product itself to buyers. Incorporate digital workflows that make approval, fabrication, and shipment a streamlined customer experience.

3D modeling

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

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

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

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

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

Procurement

Create clear purchasing plans with intuitive tools and material databases that enable better buying visibility and control.

Accounting

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.

Connect your workflows

Use this data-packed report and the getting started guide together. You’ll get the basics of what, where, and how of connecting workflows as a trade contractor and/or fabricator.

Connected Construction: The Trade Contractors’ Perspective

Recent data shows trade contractors aren’t as engaged in digital transformation as the rest of the construction industry. The same data reveals how this position will likely change in the next few years.

Download the report understand:

  • Where trade contractors benefit most from digital workflows… and where they may be leaving gains on the table
  • Root causes of errors and delays in craft-specific processes
  • Where contractors plan to invest in digital workflows
  • Future importance of existing workflows

Getting Started with Connected Workflows

The quest for faster, cheaper, and easier ways of working has led to a chaotic array of solutions and data sources. Which makes connected workflows hard to implement and use.
