Trimble named top telematics provider by ABI for third consecutive year

Trimble has been ranked as the number one telematics service provider for commercial vehicles by ABI Research for a third consecutive year.

The annual survey analysed 20 global vendors serving the commercial telematics industry. They were assessed based on a variety of 'implementation' and 'innovation' criteria withTrimble ranked as the top provider for both, which included market share of subscribers, vertical segmentation, quality and reliability, range of product features and organisation health.
