In the world of surveying, the way you move data between the field and the office can be a major source of risk and rework. The traditional data management method has been a mix of USB drives, emails and third-party cloud storage. While familiar, this manual data shuffle creates hidden costs that drain time and budgets.
Hidden costs of a disconnected workflow
Relying on manual data transfer is as risky as it is inefficient. Every time a file is saved to a USB stick or attached to an email, you introduce opportunities for error that can ripple through the entire project.
1. Wasted time and resources
2. Expensive rework
3. Lack of a single source of truth
The solution: A cloud-enabled survey workflow
Instead of juggling files, imagine a workflow where data flows automatically from the field to the office and back again. Here’s how this connected workspace eliminates the friction points of manual data transfer:
1. In the field: automated data sync with Trimble Access
2. In the cloud: centralized project management with Trimble Connect
3. In the office: confident processing with Trimble Business Center (TBC)
