The latest contract extension by National Highways for Trimble’s AgileAssets cloud software is a testament to the same.

Portfolio Strength: Key Catalyst

We believe Trimble’s growing efforts toward strengthening its portfolio offerings are likely to continue driving its customer momentum.

Recently, Trimble introduced advanced path planning technology, which is designed to boost the efficiency of work by aiding the optimization and automation of the trajectory, speed and overall path design of industrial equipment.

TRMB enhanced its Engage Lane dynamic contract procurement solution, which provides dwell time metrics for better and more informed product procurement decisions.

In addition to portfolio expansion, the company witnessed strong additions to its clientele.

Recently, TRMB’s RTX technology got selected by Nissan Motor. With RTX technology, Nissan aims to support its advanced driver assistance system.

Further, Trimble’s AgileAssets management was selected by Norwegian Public Roads Administration Operations and Maintenance to oversee, maintain, and operate the country's 10,600-km road network and related transportation infrastructure.

We note that expanding clientele on the back of robust portfolio strength is expected to aid the company’s financial performance in the near term.
