Trimble AI: hardworking solutions for hardworking people

Trimble focuses on Agentic AI to automate tasks and active safety. Key solutions include:

• Back-Office Agents: AI "bots" (integrated into TMS/TMT) that automatically read emails to enter orders, scan repair invoices and handle breakdown calls without human data entry.
• Autonomous Procurement: An AI platform that predicts spot market prices and autonomously negotiates rates with carriers to secure capacity instantly.
• Routing Assistants: Generative AI in PC*Miler allows dispatchers to build complex truck routes using simple conversational chat prompts.

It automates the manual "spot market" negotiation process to secure trucking capacity faster and cheaper.

• Predicts the "Strike Price": Instead of just showing market averages, the AI predicts the exact price a specific carrier is likely to accept.
• Automates Negotiation: It eliminates phone calls and emails. The AI offers the load to carriers at the predicted price; if they decline, it automatically recalculates and offers it to the next best carrier.
• Saves Money: By avoiding panic buying or over-bidding, it typically reduces spot freight costs by ~10%.
• Saves Time: It cuts the time spent covering a load from hours to minutes (often seconds).

Autonomous Quotation helps carriers and brokers to win more spot freight by quoting instantly (in under 2 seconds) rather than manually.

• Speed is king: Since shippers often award loads to the first viable bidder, the AI responds to thousands of requests 24/7, beating competitors who rely on manual review.
• Scalability: Autonomous Quotation decouples revenue growth from headcount; brokers can quote on 10x more opportunities without hiring more staff.
• Profitability: Instead of guessing, the AI calculates a precise quote based on your specific margin rules and real-time market data to ensure every won load is profitable.

Trimble Market Insights is a predictive analytics tool that uses Machine Learning to forecast freight rates and market trends.

• Spot Price Prediction: Instead of just showing historical averages, the AI analyzes real-time market variables to forecast spot rates down to the postal code level for the next 14 days.
• Contract vs. Spot Decision: Trimble Market Insights uses predictive algorithms to tell shippers when it is cheaper to use their contracted rates or when the spot market offers a better deal.

Trimble Freight Visibility offers real-time tracking, accurate ETAs, proactive exception management and improved communication across the supply chain. It moves tracking from reactive ("Where is my truck?") to predictive ("When will it arrive?"), using AI to filter noise and automate updates.

• Predictive ETAs (AI-Driven): Unlike standard GPS which just gives distance, the AI analyzes real-time traffic, weather and historical lane data to calculate a precise arrival time. It alerts you before a shipment is late, not after.
• Exception management: The system automatically filters out "on-time" shipments, allowing your team to focus only on the red-flagged exceptions (roughly 3-5% of total freight) rather than monitoring every truck.
• Automated communication: It reduces manual "check calls" by up to 80% by automatically sending tracking links and status updates to customers.
• Detention a demurrage proof: It uses precise geofencing to create an irrefutable digital record of exactly when a truck entered and left a facility, protecting you from unfair fees.

Trimble is using Generative AI to analyze, augment and amplify existing solutions and develop new tools, including AI agents, to automate processes and improve efficiency.

Trimble’s vision is to shift the industry from "visibility" (seeing problems) to "Autonomous Execution" (having AI fix them).

• Augmenting through Agentic AI (AI as a "Colleague"): Moving beyond passive software to "AI Agents" that autonomously perform complex jobs—like reading emails, entering orders, or negotiating freight rates—freeing humans for strategic work.
• Analyzing the connected supply chain: Breaking down silos so data flows seamlessly between shippers, carriers, and brokers, allowing the AI to optimize the entire network rather than just one company.
• Automated and autonomous commerce: A future where machines autonomously negotiate price and capacity with other machines to maximize efficiency and eliminate waste.
