- Trimble introduced its Web-based Agriculture Manager™ asset management system which combines GPS, machine sensors and automated wireless communications that allows farmers to more efficiently manage and operate large machinery fleets. The new Trimble Agriculture Manager system is designed to help farming operations, agriculture retailers and others automatically track their fleet’s precise GPS location, operating status and real-time productivity — all critical factors during peak fieldwork seasons. The Agriculture Manager system is expected to be available in March 2008 from Trimble resellers.
