Trimble Expands Field-to-Office Connectivity for Heavy Civil Contractors
Rhea-AI Summary
Trimble (TRMB) has announced a new integration between its B2W Track and Trimble Siteworks software systems to enhance progress quantity tracking for earthwork and civil contractors. The integration enables automated production quantity tracking capabilities, allowing contractors to compare actual material production quantities with planned quantities more efficiently.
The new workflow allows project managers to create quantity measurement requests in B2W Track, which are automatically sent to field personnel using Siteworks software. The field data is collected with survey-grade accuracy and transmitted back to B2W Track via Wi-Fi or cellular connections. The production quantity data can be transferred to Trimble Viewpoint Vista, Viewpoint Spectrum accounting systems, or third-party construction accounting systems.
This integration, available now in North America at no additional cost for existing licensees of both software systems, advances Trimble's Construction One vision of connected workflows and data, streamlining the progress-to-plan reporting process.

Integration between Trimble Siteworks Software and B2WⓇ Track Enables Automated Production Quantity Tracking Capabilities to Enhance Accuracy and Ease of Progress-to-Plan Reporting
"Civil contractors must continuously evaluate how well projects are progressing against budgets, timelines and productivity goals," said John Sheedy, director of product management at Trimble. "Relying on phone calls, forms, emails and other disconnected communications tools to report on production quantities limits timeliness and accuracy of that reporting. This new software integration brings automation to the process to increase efficiency, eliminate errors and provide an auditable progress trail for billable milestones."
The new Trimble progress-to-plan reporting workflow allows project managers to create requests for quantity measurements — such as the amount of material added, moved or removed at a site — within the B2W Track performance tracking application. Those requests are relayed automatically to personnel in the field who use Siteworks software to fulfill the request at survey-grade accuracy and send the data back to B2W Track via Wi-Fi or cellular connections. B2W Track users can then review and validate the data and reconcile it with information from other sources such as field logs. Production quantity data can also be transferred from B2W Track to the Trimble Viewpoint® Vista™, Viewpoint Spectrum™ accounting systems, or to third-party construction accounting systems.
Integrating Construction Solutions for a Connected Jobsite
Trimble Siteworks software provides construction surveying, machine guidance and site management capabilities. For production quantity tracking, devices enabled with Siteworks software technology precisely measure distances, angles and elevations on job sites and process the resulting 3D data sets to assess production quantities in terms of linear distances, areas and volumes.
B2W Track is a comprehensive Trimble performance tracking application for civil construction. Through customized electronic daily logs and field-centric reporting, the software streamlines collection and analysis of data on productivity, labor, materials and equipment utilization.
"This new integration advances the Trimble Construction One vision of connected workflows and data," said Steve DiBenedetto, product manager at Trimble. "The intuitive process removes friction, delays and risk for errors and makes essential progress-to-plan data available with the push of a few buttons. By building on and linking existing B2W Track and Siteworks software capabilities, we've made it easy for new and existing users to automate this important reporting process at no additional cost."
