“One of the early steps in the project was to standardize the technology. While there would be different iron manufacturers, the foundational solutions would be Trimble. That was key for the ASN surveying department because it meant that group would not have to deal with so many file types — and could push out designs as they changed or even tweak things quickly and easily in near real-time.”
"The Prolog value added solution developed by Byrne Software allows us to be much more precise in our forecasts and provides all the cost details we need in one location."
"If planter 1 farms the headlands first, planter 2 doesn’t have to worry about over seeding in those areas because of the shared coverage map. Since both planters are using Trimble’s Field-IQ and Tru Count clutches, the sections are turned off automatically when driving over the applied area, which saves seed costs."
"Years ago we were keeping written records collected by our field staff and filed in separate locations. It was hard to manage and took way too much work to review. It became clear that we needed a system to manage our information."
“We work with the farmers that we buy potatoes from to track the way that our potatoes are grown so that we can provide quality products.”
"A place to view all your load transactions, current, past and future, in a format that showcases what is relevant to you. Whether you’re in planning, harvesting, the sawmill or log transport CFXchange is easy to use and saves time.”
“CFXchange is an integral part of our business process and has proven to be very good investment. I would highly recommend Trimble Forestry’s services.”
"I currently serve as the leader for the Potato Sustainability Council which is a cross functional group of potato growers, processors and key end users working together to make sure that we are encouraging sustainability industry-wide."
“Instead of having one system for accounting, another one with your spray records and then a separate system of safety records for the state department, this one brings everything together in one place."
"I come from an area where there are a lot of older farmers not used to precision technologies, and I think this software is easiest to use and would be easier to explain how it would benefit them.”
“The server provides corrections to the GPS receivers on each bus through a 3G data modem, giving each driver real-time information about his or her location on the road with centimeter accuracy. That level of precision is the key to keeping buses on schedule in Minnesota winters, when cold temperatures, gusty winds and piles of snow can make it virtually impossible to see shoulders, curbs and lane lines.”
“The goal of the entire program is to demonstrate improved schedule adherence even in poor weather, and if we can do that, we believe ridership will go up. Providing added perks like free wireless Internet access is also sure to help us appeal to more commuters. For every person we get on a bus, that’s another car off the road and a little easier commute for everyone.”
”Trimble Forestry’s CFLogistics WSX solution support Hancock distribution objectives to responsively control our fibre supply operations through improved haulage productivity and supply chain planning and execution. Moving forward our ability to manage transport cost and monitor compliance has been recognised as a competitive advantage within the market we operate.”
“This is the most significant step forward in timber transportation. The contractors will gain new opportunities to enhance their own transportation management both internally and with other transporters.”
”We want to boost development in the forestry and transportation. A common software service is one of the requirements for this development.”
