Trimble reported FY2025 revenue of $3.587 billion, net income of $424 million, and more than 11,500 employees. Robert G. Painter is CEO. The company is moving toward recurring software and services while keeping its core advantage in positioning and industrial workflows.
Trimble makes money from hardware, software subscriptions, maintenance, data services, construction workflows, geospatial tools, and transportation platforms. Positioning devices and machine-control hardware create the field-data base, while software such as construction management, modeling, design, transportation management, and fleet tools adds recurring revenue. The strategic shift is to keep the industrial domain expertise while increasing software, services, and recurring revenue mix.
