Subscription licensing

The Trimble Business Center subscriptions are designed to easily start and scale while making more functionality accessible to users with simpler options and lower upfront costs.

There are seven subscription editions or plans to choose from - three core plans (think “good”, “better”, “best”) and four specialty plans focused on vertical applications. There are also three optional modules that focus on regionalized workflows and customers. The modules can be added to any plan. In addition, each subscription edition includes a Trimble Clarity Starter (five project) subscription and Trimble Connect Business subscription to support data transfer workflows using Trimble Sync Manager and the new link between TBC and the T4D monitoring platform.

Subscription plans

Three core plans:

  • Starter: The entry-level offering for surveyors who need to reduce their GNSS, digital level, and optical data into basic CAD and field deliverables.

  • Site + Field: For surveyors who need a field-to-finish survey CAD software for traditional GNSS, Total Station and Digital Level based deliverables.

  • Survey + Mapping: Adds to Site + Field for surveyors who embrace the latest technology and strive for a competitive edge. Create compelling deliverables from all traditional sensors as well as 3D point clouds and GIS data.

Four specialty plans:

  • Enterprise: Builds on Survey + Mapping for survey, engineering and construction professionals who need flexibility and scale for any project. The complete package to start and stay in Trimble Business Center.

  • Aerial Survey: The entry point for surveyors and remote pilots who create deliverables from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

  • Construction: For civil construction and earthworks professionals who generate machine control models, accurate quantity takeoff reports, digitized PDFs, and roadway cross-sections.

  • Mobile Mapping: For surveyors and mapping specialists who process data and generate deliverables from Trimble mobile mapping solutions to integrate with traditional survey sensors and export to other CAD packages.

Three optional regional modules:

  • ANZ Toolbox: Available worldwide, focused on common Australian and New Zealand import and export formats and reports, specifically interactions with 12D.

  • Japan i-Construction: Available only in Japan, this module supports i-Construction workflows and reports.

  • Japan Crack Detection: Available only in Japan, this module features image-based surface crack detection and mapping workflows for Nikon imaging sensors.
