Trimble Inc. is an American software, hardware, and services technology company. Trimble also develops hardware for Vehicle tracking systems including global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers, scanners, total stations, laser rangefinders, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), inertial navigation systems and software processing tools.
Trimble Navigation was founded in November 1978 by Charles Trimble and two partners from Hewlett-Packard. It initially operated above a movie theatre in Los Altos, California.
in 1991, Trimble started offering new surveying and mapping software products, with the acquisition of a New Zealand company, Datacom Software Research Ltd.
In 2002, Caterpillar and Trimble formed a joint venture, Caterpillar Trimble Control Technologies (CTCT), to develop machine control products for improved customer productivity and lower costs on earthmoving projects. In 2003, Trimble acquired 3D Laser Scanning company MENSI.
Trimble acquired the 3D modeling software package SketchUp from Google in 2012; prior to the acqusition, Google acquired @Last Software, another company based in Colorado, in 2006. That same year, it acquired TMW Systems, a provider of Fleet management software. In 2016, it acquired Sefaira (sustainability analysis software including energy modeling and daylight visualization).
The company changed its name from Trimble Navigation Limited to Trimble Inc.; the name change and change in legal domicile became effective October 1, 2016. Later that month, Trimble divested its UAV manufacturing business to France-based Delair.
On April 23, 2018, Trimble agreed to acquire privately held Viewpoint from investment firm Bain Capital in an all-cash transaction of US$1.2bn, with an expected completion in Q3 of 2018.
