Trimble Business Center OFFICE SOFTWARE

Trimble Business CenterOffice SoftwareGIS
SURVEY + CONSTRUCTION
Leverage the power of data with Trimble Business Center,a single, robust software application for both construction
and survey applications. Powerful tools help you quickly andeasily create accurate, integrated 3D constructible models
for machine control and quantity estimation. Make better
decisions, win more bids, decrease costly mistakes, andincrease efficiency in the office and on the job site.

Data Integration
In a single software package, combine raw measurementsfrom GNSS, total stations, and levels; then, add in datafrom unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), mobile mapping
systems, and terrestrial laser scanners, all of which isscaled to your survey data. No need to import and export
between multiple software packages. No need for training,warranty maintenance, or support for different applications
from different providers. Trimble Business Center provides
the capabilities you need to deliver complete survey andconstruction deliverables.

Integrate GIS within survey data and provide deliverables to an
ESRI-based environment.

Confidence Inspiring Results
Work with the raw sensor data, not just X,Y,Z coordinates, viewand edit rod heights, prism constants, vector timestamps,
and more to achieve the most accurate horizontal andvertical results. Visualise your data in context with Google
Earth or DigitalGlobe background imagery. Don’t put up withfragmented data sets or disjointed workflows that cause
costly mistakes and jeopardise your livelihood. From thirdparty or Trimble hardware, have the data to backup your office
and field work for every project, every time.

Robust Deliverables
When “good enough” is never acceptable, Trimble BusinessCenter enables you to deliver diverse results with point,
adjustment, takeoff, and many other report types, digitalsurface and site models, CAD plans, point clouds, corridor
designs, machine control models, and station-based imagery.
Or work with other industry-leading software packages fromAutodesk®, Bentley®, ESRI, and more with import and export
support for a variety of third-party file types. When it’s time
to submit, store and share projects, Trimble Business Center
integrates with many applications, including:
