Trimble partners with CalAmp to deliver fleet and asset management solutions

To strengthen its Field Service Management (FSM) portfolio, 1985 Trimble has selected CalAmp to supply customized telematics tracking devices and systems management technology for its FSM vehicle and asset monitoring solutions. The technology allows fleet managers and equipment dealers to locate and monitor the health and utilization of their vehicles and equipment, and proactively manage maintenance. 

Trimble will focus on the value-add fleet management, work management, diagnostics, driver safety and mobility software and cloud services that enable organizations to improve efficiency and productivity.

CalAmp devices use a Programmable Event Generator and a Programming, Update and Logistics System to enable greater customization and easier device management. This technology is said to improve field service response time by tracking vehicle and equipment location to efficiently deploy service technicians. In addition, the Trimble solutions combine equipment warnings and diagnostic information to enhance first-time fix rates and increase user satisfaction.
