Trimble has announced its acquisition of US-based firm B2W Software, a provider of estimating and operations software for heavy civil construction. Financial terms were not disclosed.
“The acquisition will allow us to provide an unparalleled end-to-end digital experience for heavy civil and infrastructure contractors,” said Elwyn McLachlan, vice president of Trimble’s Civil Solutions Division.
As infrastructure projects become increasingly complex, data-driven insights and analytics will be imperative to improve productivity, Trimble added in a press release.
B2W’s integrated suite of applications includes estimating, scheduling, field tracking, equipment maintenance, data capture and business intelligence.
Paul McKeon, B2W founder and CEO, said: “B2W has helped thousands of heavy civil contractors increase their bid accuracy and operational efficiency.
“And now with Trimble, we can realise the next chapter of our story. By linking the planned with the executed, we will provide civil contractors with a truly connected construction experience, unlocking valuable new insights for our customers across their entire operation.”
B2W will now form part of Trimble’s Buildings and Infrastructure segment.
