Delivering the ultimate connected workflow with TBC, Trimble Access & Trimble Connect
In the dynamic worlds of surveying and construction, the ability to connect seamlessly between the office and the field is a game-changer.
The integration of Trimble® Business Center (TBC), Trimble Access™ and Trimble Connect® softwares provides a powerful connected workflow that transforms how surveyors work, from data collection to project completion.
Here's how this connected workspace works, and how it enhances productivity and accuracy in surveying and construction operations.

The connected workflow: office-to-field-to-office
1. Field-to-finish workflow
The connected workflow offers a comprehensive field-to-finish process, linking TBC with Trimble Access and back again. This seamless connection ensures surveyors are integrated into a unified system, allowing for smooth data flow and enhanced collaboration.
2. Web-based data transfer
Gone are the days of relying on email, USB sticks or cloud drives for data transfer. With Trimble Access, survey data is transferred via the web with only a Wi-Fi connection. This not only simplifies the synchronization process but also speeds it up, ensuring that surveyors can spend more time in the field and less time managing data transfers.
3. Increased productivity
For large projects, this workflow means surveyors can stay in the field longer, capturing more data without frequent trips back to the office. The TID-based connection allows one TBC user to link with an unlimited number of TA devices, fostering efficient communication and data transfer.
4. Error mitigation
By eliminating outdated data transfer techniques, the connected workflow significantly reduces the risk of errors. Surveyors and office staff work with the most up-to-date data, minimizing the chances of blunders caused by outdated information.
Connecting the office to the field
- Connected workspace: The connected workspace simplifies and enhances office workflows by syncing with a growing Trimble Connect environment. This integration means you don't have to drive back to the office for updates. Design revisions can be uploaded instantaneously, and design files can be transferred with a single click, as opposed to the multiple steps required with older methods like Trimble Sync Manager.
- Project management: Trimble Connect serves as a robust project management tool, storing all field and office data in one centralized location. This consolidation ensures that everyone involved in the project has access to the same data, fostering better collaboration and more efficient project execution.
The power of Trimble Connect
- High-level connected workflow: Trimble Connect enhances the survey workflow by using cloud technology to manage and pull down data, bridging the gap in a traditionally fragmented industry. It enables automatic updates and seamless management of field data, ensuring that all team members are on the same page.
- Managing designs and field data: With Trimble Connect Web, design management is streamlined. Projects in Trimble Access are mapped to corresponding projects in Trimble Connect, and all updates are automatically synchronized. This functionality allows surveyors to download files directly from Connect, ensuring they always have access to the latest project information.
The future of surveying
The integration of TBC, Trimble Access, and Trimble Connect represents a significant advancement in how survey data can be utilized. This connected workflow not only enhances productivity and accuracy but also unlocks the power of survey data by making it available to more stakeholders quicker, thus enabling better decision-making. By leveraging cloud technology and seamless data transfer, surveyors can focus more on their fieldwork and less on data management, ultimately leading to more successful project outcomes.
Embracing a connected workflow
