Trimble (TRMB - Free Report) has unveiled Trimble Unity AMS, an enterprise asset management solution for electric utilities worldwide.
Notably, the new solution, which is based on Trimble's Cityworks platform, has been designed to enable electric utilities to boost their productivity and reduce costs while delivering resilient energy.
Further, it allows utilities to manage the complete lifecycle of their asset infrastructure. It also provides an extensible platform that can integrate with other systems of record to boost efficiency.
Additionally, the solution offers a centralized source of data for decision-making and operations, thus addressing challenges faced by electric utilities, such as aging infrastructure, environmental challenges, organizational complexity and inefficient processes.
The latest move has added strength to the company’s Resources and Utilities segment offerings. This in turn is likely to contribute to the performance of the segment in the days ahead.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, the segment generated revenues of $185.2 million, which accounted for 22% of total revenues. This figure was up 1% from the prior-year quarter’s level.

Notably, TRMB has lost 2.9% in the year-to-date period against the sector’s rise of 17.6%.
Expanding Portfolio

Apart from the latest launch, Trimble acquired Transporeon, a cloud-based transportation management software platform provider, which will help it expand its reach to carriers, shippers, and retailers, which in turn will bolster its total addressable market.
The company also introduced Dwell Time Metric in order to improve its Fleet Manager product. Trimble aims to offer accurate commercial location data that helps fleets make decisions and use their resources and drivers more effectively.
Additionally, Trimble strengthened its Tekla software by introducing Tekla Structures 2023, Tekla Structural Designer 2023, Tekla Tedds 2023 and Tekla PowerFab 2023.
