Winners were selected for their innovative use
of Trimble technology to improve performance, safety and
efficiency
WESTMINSTER, Colo., Sept. 5,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) is proud
to announce the winners of the 2024 Ovation Awards. The Ovation
Awards recognize Trimble customers within its transportation &
logistics segment for their innovative solutions to improve
business performance, safety and efficiency. All products
highlighted in this year's awards are software solutions provided
by Trimble.
Trimble is honored to support its customers as they work to keep
critical freight moving along the supply chain in an increasingly
connected world. Read on to learn more about the winners of the
2024 Trimble Ovation Awards and their inspiring stories.
Automation All-Stars: Best in Improving Overall
Efficiencies highlights companies that automate business
processes to eliminate paperwork and reduce manual tasks.
- After the Mexican government passed a law that required
extensive information regarding shipping manifests and invoices,
Mexico-based trucking companies
were faced with sudden and complicated compliance requirements. To
solve this problem, Tracso LLC created a web
application hosted by Trimble SaaS
Azure, a cloud-based platform, to automate and validate
customer information, share data internally and submit necessary
documents to the government.
Better Together: Best Collaboration recognizes
organizations implementing Trimble solutions collaboratively with
industry partners.
- Tucker Freight Lines struggled with unnecessary
manual work, inaccurate data and untracked work orders for years.
Trimble and Tucker Freight Lines worked closely together to reset
their technology, accomplishing a full integration to Trimble's
TMW.Suite™ TMS, eliminating duplicate data entry and replacing
disparate systems.
- Polaris Transportation Group faced the challenge
of tracking both freight and their fleet in real time—while
connecting drivers and fleets to their backend Trimble TruckMate™
TMS. Polaris collaborated with Trimble to roll out Trimble
Instinct™ and FR8Focus—a newly developed mobile drivers
application—to fully integrate drivers with the back office. This
solved the issue and helped drive impressive results: minimizing
lost freight and eliminating delays of document captures by
99%.
- Ashley Furniture aspired to consolidate their
entire fleet through a unified application, but encountered
obstacles due to the existence of 13 separate Trimble contracts.
Through collaborative efforts, the teams successfully established a
singular contract accompanied by only four supplementary
agreements, thereby establishing a new benchmark for Trimble.
Ashley Furniture and Trimble joined forces to address the complex
task of efficiently integrating Ashley's extensive fleets—a
formidable challenge given the company's size. As a result, 90% of
Ashley Furniture's integrations encompassing Trimble Instinct,
Trimble CoPilot®, Trimble PC*Miler®, Trimble TMS and Trimble TMT
Fleet Maintenance™ solutions were successfully accomplished.
- NFI needed to improve communication flow between
dispatch and drivers—a complex project that required a lot of
teamwork and patience. NFI collaborated closely with Trimble for 18
months to enhance overall driver experience while increasing
message delivery speed. Working together continues to be a proven
success: Total messaging delivery speed has improved by more than
25%, and the teams are on track to have NFI's drivers receive their
start-of-day dispatch instantaneously.
Rookies of the Year: Best Trimble Up and Comer honors new
Trimble users who have adopted solutions enthusiastically and
achieved notable results within the past 12 months.
- Landstar Transportation Logistics, Inc. an
asset-light provider of freight transportation solutions,
previously utilized a third-party purchase order software to manage
trailer-repair records and invoice payments, which required
continuous development, frequent upgrades and the entry of trailer
repairs on two separate systems for one of its largest vendors.
After adopting Trimble TMT Fleet Maintenance, Landstar now manages
the entire lifecycle of a repair order with that large vendor
within one application, tracks all breakdowns and repairs on
Landstar-owned equipment and manages frequent equipment
inspections.
Safety Superteam: Best in Advancing
Safety salutes organizations that improve safety by
reducing accidents and enhancing overall safety
measures.
- After Ocean State Job Lot set a goal to lower
accidents and injuries, they turned to Trimble, leveraging Trimble
Fleet Manager™ to analyze data about potential dangers and remain
compliant. Since implementing Trimble technology, OSJL has
dramatically reduced accidents and injuries—with just a single DOT
recordable accident over the past 27 months and counting.
- Billy Barnes Enterprises, Inc. has also realized
the impact of Trimble technology in advancing fleet safety. Two
years after implementing Trimble Fleet Manager and using Trimble
Duo™, Billy Barnes Enterprises has reduced accidents by 60%, while
also experiencing zero Hours of Service violations—supporting their
efforts to minimize fatigue caused by noncompliance and promoting a
culture of safety and support for their drivers.
