|
|
Trimble has acquired privately-held Cengea Solutions Inc., the British Columbia based provider of spatially-enabled business operations and supply chain management software for the forestry, agriculture and natural resource industries, for undisclosed terms.  Cengea's forestry enterprise software solution manages operational activities associated with producing raw materials such as lumber, paper and other forest products throughout the value chain, right from initial project planning to scheduling of work, growing, harvesting, delivery, tracking of goods, payment, inventory management and real-time reporting.The operational data can be integrated with maps and other spatial data to provide a complete perspective on activities and costs. The combination of Trimble and Cengea's forestry solutions can provide organizations with a comprehensive set of tools to collect accurate operational information faster, manage and analyze the information to facilitate better decision making, and optimize operational activities to improve productivity, efficiency, and safety. Bill Martin, general manager of Trimble's Forestry Automation and Mobile Computing business areas, said Cengea's agriculture software is a fit for Trimble's Connected Farm strategy, which focuses on seamless field-to-office information management. “By wirelessly collecting grower-level data and integrating operations and supply chain activities, we can further enhance an agribusiness' ability to reduce costs and improve productivity,” he said. The Cengea business will be reported as part of Trimble's Mobile Solutions segment, Trimble said in a statement. |
