Caterpillar Inc. and Trimble Navigation Limited announced new agreements that will bring complete, technology-enabled construction jobsite solutions to the market. With new agreements, the companies are further investing in their combined commitment to develop these products, expand the range of productivity applications and services, and bring a comprehensive unified fleet solution to the contractor. For Caterpillar, the strategic partnership with Trimble provides a site level, unified fleet focus to the Cat Connect portfolio of products and services.

Cat Connect leverages connectivity to more than 250,000 Cat machines globally. These machines can be monitored by customers to improve their fuel consumption, maintenance, productivity and overall fleet availability. The latest agreements will strengthen Caterpillar's already world-class distribution capability and enhance collaboration with Trimble's SITECH Technology Dealers, the only global distribution network dedicated to providing a comprehensive construction technology portfolio to the heavy and civil contractor.

Both companies look forward to building upon their successful agreements and continuing to deliver proven mixed fleet machine monitoring from the four corners of the jobsite to the four corners of the world for global fleet decisions made in real time.
