Trimble AI push aims to automate office work and find loads for smaller fleets
Trimble launched AI tools on its Transporeon platform to automate transport tasks and find loads for smaller fleets. The tools aim to reduce office work, increase revenue, and improve vehicle utilization. Trimble targets specific problems with measurable returns, not large-scale transformations. The Arc AI offering starts at around €1,000 per month, with potential cost savings in vehicle utilization and empty running.
