If technology company Trimble was an insurance company, it would probably market its ability to “bundle” hardware, software, and services tailored to customer needs.
In effect, that’s what Trimble Unity is all about.
It is an asset lifecycle-management software suite for owners of capital projects and public infrastructure that allows them to plan, design, build, operate, and maintain their assets through the use of centralized data and connected digital workflows.
This unified approach enables better decisions about asset rehabilitation and replacement, facilitates reliable and sustainable service delivery and helps ensure regulatory compliance, the company says.

Trimble Unity capabilities include:
- Trimble Unity Construct: A cloud-based construction project and program management capability that provides insights to improve process control and reduce cycle times. Powered by Trimble e-Builder.
- Trimble Unity Maintain: A GIS-centric enterprise asset management capability that streamlines work activity, planning and analysis to optimize resource allocation and infrastructure reinvestment. Powered by Trimble Cityworks AMS, Trimble AgileAssets and Trimble Unity Work Management.
- Trimble Unity Permit: A permitting, licensing and land management capability that streamlines public and back-office operations to manage permits, licenses, right-of-way and code enforcement. Powered by Trimble Cityworks PLL.
- Trimble Connect: A connected data environment (CDE) that unifies asset data in files, native file formats and 3D models to streamline accessibility and collaboration.
In addition, Trimble Unity includes Trimble Unity Field, a multi-stakeholder, configurable mobile solution that provides a role-based, GIS-centric data collection and visualization experience for project management and long-term asset maintenance workflows.
Trimble Unity is available in a single-contract subscription called the Trimble Unity Asset Lifecycle Management Subscription, which provides customers advantages over a traditional point-solution procurement process.
The all-in-one subscription streamlines procurement by eliminating the effort of purchasing multiple products. It also facilitates user adoption by providing the full range of capabilities in a single, familiar interface with the same Trimble support teams for implementation and onboarding.
“No one can do all that like we can,” said Cyndee Hoagland, SVP of Trimble’s Owner and Public Sector. “We’re not just a collection of products and we’re not just point solutions. We have the domain expertise and understanding of that data that is important to drive high-performing assets. And we’re going to bring a suite of capabilities that you need to do your job well.
“Our goal is to deliver the gold standard in asset lifecycle management solutions through innovative, open, and collaborative platforms that make asset data available to you from cradle to grave across your ecosystem,” Hoagland said.
Integrating advanced data flow and technology can help achieve a reduction in the total cost of ownership. Trimble says it could help as much as 40%.
