Fully-Integrated Mobile Workflow Optimizes Deliveries and Reduces Costs

HOUSTON, Sept. 10, 2018 — (PRNewswire) — Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) today debuted its Trimble SmartDelivery™ solution, which combines electronic proof of delivery, routing and fleet mobility technology to help customers provide cost-effective delivery services.

• Gives drivers a more seamless driver workflow via an Electronic Proof of Delivery (ePOD) solution

"Trimble is dedicated to enhancing the final mile delivery experience for fleets, drivers and customers," said Brian Larwig, general manager, Final Mile. "Trimble SmartDelivery enables fleets and drivers to reach new levels of connectivity and efficiency while reducing delivery costs and increasing accuracy, all through one seamless driver workflow."

Trimble SmartDelivery utilizes single sign-on capabilities to take drivers from start to finish on their routes. Trimble SmartDelivery provides daily route planning and tracking, Hours of Service (HOS) and Electronic Logging Device (ELD) compliance, out-of-cab workflows, loading/unloading and truck assignment, deviation reporting, automatic notifications such as estimated time of arrival, and ePOD capabilities.

"The complexities of the final phase of the delivery process make it a significant contributor to total distribution costs," said Larwig. "Using Trimble SmartDelivery, our customers can optimize this last leg of the journey as well as increase efficiencies and visibility throughout the entire delivery process."
