In ABI Research’s 2013 Commercial Fleet Telematics Competitive Assessment, Trimble has received a top three ranking out of the 19 fleet telematics service providers assessed on "innovation" and "implementation." In addition, ABI cited recent acquisitions by Trimble.
"Its recent acquisition of PeopleNet and Punch Telematix has boosted its presence in the trucking sector, while its acquisition of ALK Technologies enables Trimble to offer more sophisticated navigation services compared to its competitors,” said Gareth Owen, principal analyst at ABI Research.
