SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:
TRMB) introduced today its 4Loads™ forestry application, a mobile
ticketing solution that simplifies the creation, access and sharing
of harvested timber data for loggers, foresters and haulers. The
new solution provides forestry workers a simple way to enter and
manage load data that eliminates manual tracking, provides instant
access to the data online, and reduces time to summarize load
financial information.
Harvest operators enter load data on their iOS or Android mobile
devices in the field, which automatically synchronizes with the
Trimble mobile cloud service for timely access to data via the
Trimble Forestry Mobile Website. Forestry stakeholders can log into
the mobile site to view data, run reports and customize mobile form
menus. 4Loads provides real-time access to harvest load data that
historically has been captured via slower manual processes that can
take weeks or months to produce data. This real-time insight into
remote operations can shorten reconciliation cycles and provide
clear load traceability.
"In response to industry feedback, Trimble has developed a
purpose-built solution that addresses the challenges of tracking
the raw materials supply chain," said Brian
Holley, mobile solutions sales manager for Trimble's
Forestry Division. "4Loads is a low-cost application that can be
used by loggers, procurement foresters, mills and landowners to
ensure loads of raw materials are properly tracked."
The 4Loads forms are built on the new Mobile Builder platform
for Forestry. Trimble's Mobile Builder enables forestry clients to
create customized forms for field workers to access enterprise
data, update data in the field and synchronize date back to the
office in real time.
Availability
Trimble Forestry 4Loads is available as a standalone solution or
