SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:
TRMB) announced today that Summit Forests New Zealand Limited has
selected Trimble's Land Resource Manager (LRM) solution to enhance
its operational flexibility and support process reengineering.
Summit plans to streamline both spatial and attribute business
processes with Trimble's LRM integrated technology platform.
Trimble's LRM solution is an intuitive, interactive and
spatially-aware enterprise application for managing land and
forestry operations. The solution addresses the critical functions
of forest resource planning, management and decision support with
flexible customer-specific business workflows. LRM is a key
component of Trimble's Connected Forest solutions, which manage the
full raw materials lifecycle of planning, planting, growing,
harvesting and transport.
"Summit plans to restructure its information systems to be
tightly integrated into daily business processes and best industry
practices," said Ken Moen,
general manager of Trimble's Forestry Division. "Our focus
will be on enabling Summit to reach these goals with the deployment
of the LRM solution and to deliver increased data value and
improved decision making."
"We chose Trimble's LRM solution because it can be configured to
fit our company's needs. As we expand, this flexible system will
allow us to add any new assets we acquire seamlessly, making
Trimble the logical choice for our forestry business," said
Rikki Green, harvest planner for
Summit Forests. "Trimble also has an experienced technical support
team and a range of other solutions that we may look to implement
in the future."
The LRM deployment at Summit Forests will support more efficient
operational practices and provide a common platform for the entire
company to access real-time information about the land base.
