Trimble Connect is a project collaboration platform built for construction industry. Project stakeholders can easily share, comment on, and manage the project documents, photos, drawings, and 3D models through the cloud across the design, build, and operate phases of a project. This information can be seamlessly accessed across Desktop, Web, or Mobile environments depending on a stakeholder’s role or tasks. Trimble Connect Mobile App is simple to use and specifically designed for professionals working in remote or field environments such as the construction job site manufacturing facilities, or in project meetings or presentations. It is designed for one click access to the specific information needed to complete tasks that have been organized by the back office using Trimble Connect for Web or Desktop. Project information and files can be stored locally in the mobile application for offline use where internet access isn’t always accessible. Any new Tasks, called ToDos, can be created or modified while offline, then synchronized to the cloud once reconnected to the internet. One key differentiating feature within Trimble Connect Mobile App is its high-performance 3D model viewer. Large complex detailed construction models created by a variety of different Building Information Modeling (BIM) applications in multiple formats (IFC, SKP, RVT, DWG, etc.) can be quickly loaded, overlaid, and easily navigated through in a simple intuitive touch based interface.
