Trimble EMPOWER Platform — Flexibility meets capability.

The Trimble EMPOWER Platform combines leading edge mobile computing devices with a flexible modular interface and a developer program to create a truly open-ended field computing solution. Whether you want to develop a custom module, your own software—or both—everything you need to know is here.

Who uses EMPOWER?

Field Operations. Workers out in the field know the environment and what it means to work on site no matter what the conditions. They need their tools to work all the time, and not fail on the first knock. Having a tool that does the job all day, every day without the need for special training or skills outside of the day job is paramount.

C-Suite Decision Makers. Decision makers in organizations large and small need to make wise investment choices, buying a handheld device for one contract or business need only to require a different device because the workflow has changed just a short time down the road is never easy to justify, or afford.
