The new agreement will enable HCME to supply seamless integration of Trimble’s grade control system for excavators directly to customers in Europe. Trimble said the ‘one-stop shop’ approach would offer customers simplicity and dependability.
“Giving customers across Europe direct access to Hitachi excavators equipped with full Trimble Earthworks functionality offers additional flexibility in how construction companies can purchase, utilise and access training, service and support for Trimble technology,” said Scott Crozier, vice president, civil construction at Trimble. We are fully committed to making it as easy as possible for contractors around the world to integrate Trimble technology into their workflows.”
In addition to the Earthworks functionality, qualifying Hitachi dealers will also provide Trimble WorksManager software for excavators to customers in Europe. Trimble WorksManager connects the office and the field and is a key element of Trimble’s site management portfolio. It allows users to remotely send construction-ready models, manage onsite devices and machines, and troubleshoot issues to maintain productivity.
“By collaborating with Trimble, we’re giving our European customers a seamless, dealer-backed path to precision construction, with the proven performance of Hitachi excavators,” said Francesco Quaranta, president and CEO at HCME.
