Trimble creates new agriculture business group

Trimble has established a business solutions group within its agriculture division. The Trimble Agriculture Business Solutions group will provide customers with technology integration across their business and data solutions.

The Agriculture Business Solutions group combines portfolios from Agri-Data, the Connected Farm solution, Farm Works Software solution, Cengea Ag and Iron Solutions.

“We have integrated multiple technologies—from hardware to software to mobile devices,” said Darryl Matthews, senior vice president and sector head of Trimble.

Software and services work with a broad range of equipment manufacturers and crop inputs, according to the company.

Trimble’s Vantage distribution network provides customers with precision agriculture experts.

According to the company, Trimble has continued to advance its integrated agricultural software and services solutions, including:

• Trimble’s total farm management system — which integrates data from most types of equipment, farm practices, crop types, and over various computing devices (guidance displays, desktop computers, smartphones).
• Access to an extended network of more than 200 trusted advisors through Trimble’s AGRI-TREND Coaches.
• Contract management tools that enable the management of multiple environments relating to food production, grain procurement, sustainability and raw commodity procurement.
• Access to food traceability and quality inspection solutions throughout the fresh food supply chain.
