SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble
(NASDAQ:TRMB) announced today three new asset inspection software
solutions for heavy civil contractors—Trimble®
Inspector, Trimble Inspector Pro and Trimble Asset Manager. Trimble
Inspector is a free mobile app that allows equipment managers to
easily inspect assets in real-time using their smartphone or
tablet. Trimble Inspector Pro, the premium, subscription version of
Trimble Inspector, is used to wirelessly aggregate and share asset
condition across multiple sites using Trimble Asset Manager office
software. Trimble Asset Manager software gives contractors the
ability to store the inspection data of all assets in a
centralized, Web-based database for accurate reporting and
documentation.
"Contractors can achieve significant cost savings by proactively
scheduling asset maintenance with Trimble's new inspection
solutions," said Alan Sharp,
business area director for Trimble Heavy Civil Construction.
"Trimble takes the guesswork out of asset maintenance and puts the
control back in the hands of the equipment
manager."
Inspect Equipment Efficiently with Mobile Apps
Trimble Inspector, a free mobile app, runs on both Android and
iOS smartphones or tablets for daily, weekly and monthly visual
inspections using a library of equipment, machine and vehicle
types, makes and models, and inspection checklists. Reports
containing current visual health status, hours, odometer reading
and general condition can be promptly emailed to equipment and
maintenance managers. The reports, along with photos, can then be
retained for legal documentation of health and safety standards
compliance, and for audit purposes. In addition, Trimble Inspector
assists with scheduling maintenance to reduce equipment downtime
and unplanned stoppages. The app is also ideal for trade-in or
auction house inspections of used equipment.
Trimble Inspector Pro has all the functionality of Trimble
Inspector, with the added benefits of customized inspection reports
to meet health and safety requirements, and comprehensive
maintenance reports for service crews. Equipment managers can
record equipment service issues and notify site management staff of
equipment status on multiple sites within seconds of the completed
inspections. Trimble Inspector Pro requires a subscription to
Trimble Asset Manager office software to access the additional
functionality.
Store Asset Inspection Information Centrally
Trimble Asset Manager is a software as a service (SaaS)
application used in the office to integrate, store and report asset
condition data collected in the field by Trimble Inspector Pro.
Asset information is kept in a secure, centralized online database
accessible by authorized users in the company. Users can create
asset records, document inspections and customize reports so
managers get the data they need quickly and easily.
Availability
Trimble Inspector and Trimble Inspector Pro are available now
worldwide from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.
Trimble Asset Manager is available now globally through Trimble's
SITECH® Technology Dealer Channel.
