Trimble Launches Hardware-as-a-Service for Transportation

Trimble introduced a Hardware-as-a-Service option for its Transportation fleet mobility solutions. This new service consists of four bundles, enabling fleets to purchase Trimble hardware and software solutions and upgrade without upfront capital investment. Each of these bundles is designed to help fleets predictably manage technology expenses while gaining access to the latest tech from Trimble, including 4G LTE connectivity and a streamlined, Android-powered user experience.

“By bundling our subscription and professional services with hardware for a single monthly price, customers can receive the services they value, our assistance in deploying and using them and the predictability of new hardware each term without any upfront capital investment,” said Jon Passman, chief product and marketing officer for Trimble Transportation.

Trimble’s mobility bundles are tiered into four categories:

• Premier
• Professional
• Flex
• Base

The new bundles deliver telematics and regulatory components with additional available solutions, including CoPilot Truck in-cab navigation, Driver Retention Analytics, Automated Workflow, and messaging in certain bundles — enabling carriers to select the bundle to meet their specific business needs.
