Trimble Terraflex by Chad Hicks

Fast, efficient, geospatial data collection across a fleet of mixed devices. Comprised of Mobile software and Cloud services, with Trimble® TerraFlex™ software collect, process, and manage your data. With support for iOS, Android, and Windows® Mobile field workers can work with their choice of device even their personal phone, and have the same experience, collect data in the same way. Eliminate the need to carry GPS devices, cameras, clipboards, and printed maps, by centralizing onto a single device. Field data is automatically synced with a central server, streamlining office operations and driving higher productivity and cost savings. No need to return to the office to enter field data. No double entry of information re-typing paper forms. Save time, reduce errors. Work even in remote areas, with data collection that is fully functional offline. When field workers are back in range, data will automatically sync back to the office.

14. Create and Assign Trimble TerraFlex Workflow Sync Collect Publish Manage Manage, Review, Export Forms Create Forms in a Project, sync with Cloud Create Projects and associate with user profile Sync form Projects with field user device User fills out collection forms Completed Forms sync back with server when completed
15. The Trimble TerraFlex Solution Trimble TerraFlex is a software suite for GIS data collection in the field  Cloud: Data, Project, and User Management – Form template definition and management – Project assignment – User management – Data management and I/O
16. The Trimble TerraFlex Solution Trimble TerraFlex is a software suite for GIS data collection in the field  Mobile: Data Collecting and Publishing – Form fulfillment – Work with multiple projects/templates, user receives forms only for relevant projects – Spatial views or data views – Dynamic real-time syncing or the ability to work offline in remote areas
17. Trimble TerraFlex Cloud  Subscription based secure hosted web service  A platform for creating, managing, and deploying field collection forms
18. Trimble TerraFlex Cloud  Supports Trimble Mapping & GIS Windows Embedded Handheld devices as well as iOS and Android smartphones  Supports as many users as needed doing field collections
19. Trimble TerraFlex Cloud  Centralized and synchronized web data storage  Supports unlimited number of form templates  Forms are pushed to field devices based on the user profile  Easy to use drag-and-drop form builder
20. Trimble Cloud Review View and Manage Completed Forms With a Simple Online Interface Form List in Selected Job Map View Title Bar Selected Form View Filter View Export Menu
21. Trimble TerraFlex Cloud  Field forms can range from very simple, to very complex with paging and sections  All form input types supported:  Single and multi select, photo, numeric, text, boolean, date, and signature  Form fields can be marked as required or optional
22. Trimble TerraFlex Cloud  Forms can be cloned for easy modification of project parameters  Easily import form definitions from Esri database schemas  Easily export form information in a variety of common formats—CSV, Esri XML, KML
23. Trimble Cloud Form Creation Drag-and-drop forms for simple form creation
24. Trimble TerraFlex Mobile  Field application for data collection using office defined form templates  User can be assigned to multiple projects for different types of data collection— street inspection, park inspection, sign inspection, and much more
25. Trimble TerraFlex Mobile  Spatial and data views  Data automatically syncs to server when marked as complete  Updates automatically pushed to device from the office
26. Trimble TerraFlex Mobile  Able to work offline in remote areas  Consistent UI across all platforms  User centric and device agnostic— user projects are sent to user no matter what device they are logged into

37. Key Messages User Need Feature Benefit / Value Different data collection needs Dynamic Form Template Creator Allows a wide variety of data collection templates to be used in the field. Drag and drop interface makes for very efficient template creation. Field workers on a variety of devices, sometimes even their own Supports iOS, Android, WEHH Consistent user experience, consistent data integrity across all platforms. Different field workers work on different projects—need to keep it all organized Projects You can organize field collection into projects and assign users to individual projects. Streamlines field collection workflows by keeping field users focused on their key projects. Getting all of the field data back into the office and typed in Field-Office Syncing Data are automatically synced from field to office. No need for office employee to enter field data from paper forms. Field users need to work in remote areas Offline Capabilities Data collection is fully functional offline. When the field user is back in range, data are automatically updated back to the office.
38. Key Messages User Need Feature Benefit / Value Need to be able to transfer data between systems Import and Export Options Allows user to import and export to a variety of common formats used for data exchange like Esri ArcGIS XML schema, CSV, and Google KML. Don’t have resources to manage another system Managed and Hosted Services Trimble takes care of all the database administration and management. User can focus entirely on their data collection and not worry about back end systems. Project needs change over time Form Template Versioning Ensures data integrity is kept as form templates change to meet updated project requirements. Need to be able to filter, sort, and manage forms Cloud Data Management Capabilities Cloud app provides spatial and data oriented views to allow the administrator to view the project in the desired manner. Administrator can filter, sort, and export by form attribute to streamline data management.
