## Summary

Trimble unveiled nearly 20 new AI and agent-ready features at its **Trimble Insight 2026** conference on September 28. The **Trimble NEXT Showcase** targets transportation fleets with tools like **CoPilot Driver Assistant**, which offers hands-free, natural-language in-cab navigation, and **Route Orchestration for PCMiler**, which unifies planning, execution, and visibility for routes. Private fleets can use **Appian Fleet Assistant with autonomous planning**, a virtual dispatcher that generates multi-stop routes in seconds based on operational rules. Maintenance automation includes **TMT AI Invoice Scanning**, which processes up to 100 vendor PDF invoices at once, saving **136,000 minutes** across **19,500 invoices** compared to manual entry. The company also introduced **Advanced Trailer Orchestration** for dock and yard operations, reducing detention costs by syncing shifting ETAs in real time.

Trimble also announced **agent-ready modernizations** for its core carrier transportation management systems (**TMW.Suite, TruckMate, Innovative, Fuel Dispatch**) and **Trimble Arc Agent**, an AI digital colleague launched in August 2026. Arc Agent automates repetitive tasks like order entry, contract intake, and RFQ building, with final approval remaining in human hands. The features are available for preview and deployment at the conference, with some requiring specific software versions. Arc Agent operates on a subscription model, including **10 hours of agent working time** per month, with overage hours available for purchase.
