Trimble Introduces Trimble Arc Agent to Safely Automate Manual Workflows for Global Supply Chains

Published

on

The single, high-performance AI agent moves beyond the limitations of multi-agent setupsThe solution offers an expanding, customizable skills catalog designed with governance controls and risk review workflows

WESTMINSTER, Colo., Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Trimble announced today Trimble Arc Agent, a purpose-built artificial intelligence (AI) agent designed to automate office work and eliminate manual processes for transportation and logistics organizations. By reducing reliance on multiple agents, Trimble Arc Agent frees teams to focus on high-level strategy where human decision-making matters most.

Offered as a subscription-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution, Trimble Arc Agent connects directly to existing transportation management systems (TMS) and third-party applications like Gmail and Outlook. By securely extracting and validating data from unstructured channels — such as emails, PDFs and spreadsheets — Trimble Arc Agent allows teams to turn real-world inputs into actionable, system-of-record data.

For many logistics teams, unstructured data and multi-agent setups inhibit productivity due to busy work, where teams spend more time managing software than driving strategy. According to a recent survey conducted by Trimble and FreightWaves, 70% of transportation and logistics organizations struggle with manual, repetitive tasks as their leading pain point, stifling staff productivity.

Trimble Arc Agent bridges the gap between the physical supply chain and digital back-office systems by automating the flow of information. Built with core agentic safety features to minimize the risk of AI hallucinations, Trimble Arc Agent empowers organizations to drive faster throughput and reduce operational costs without compromising service levels or margins.

“The market is flooded with disconnected AI tools that require constant babysitting and manual management. We built Trimble Arc Agent to break that cycle by introducing a single, high-performance agent powered by a skills catalog,” said Jonah McIntire, chief product and technology officer, transportation and logistics at Trimble. “Arc Agent delivers the predictable, explainable automation the industry has been waiting for and allows for an organization’s hard-earned operational knowledge to be retained and executed consistently.”

Safety and reliability by design
Trimble Arc Agent is designed with safety in mind, with enterprise-grade AI guardrails and human-in-the-loop controls, designed to ensure that AI-driven decisions are explainable, auditable and supportable. This approach addresses industry concerns regarding AI reliability so that automation does not come at the cost of service commitments or compliance.

The power of the Trimble Arc Agent skills catalog
Arc Agent brings high-level automation to an industry at scale — deployed across the Trimble transportation and logistics network of more than one million trucks and over 1,500 shippers and retailers — in addition to a wide range of back-office tools and applications.

Central to Arc Agent is the creation, discovery and leveraging of skills. By combining a catalog of ready-to-use skills with custom skill-building capabilities, Arc Agent can help address an organization’s biggest challenges through simple, natural language.

Beyond these ready-to-use offerings, Trimble Arc empowers teams with intuitive, custom skill-building capabilities. Users can easily adapt existing skills to fit their unique operational needs or build entirely new ones via a conversational interface — without requiring any engineering resources. 

Example skills include:

Data Entry (Order Entry & Contract Intake): This skill provides an alternative to manual order entry and contract intake by automatically extracting field data and inputting it directly into systems of record. (Available in North America)Market Insights: This skill delivers full truckload (FTL) rate intelligence and market benchmarks before every negotiation. (Available in Europe)Customer Support: Delivers contextual, in-product troubleshooting using product documentation and support knowledge. The skill assists users in creating a support ticket with service systems such as Jira or Salesforce if human intervention is needed.Personal Assistant: Designed to streamline daily workflows, the Personal Assistant skill consolidates data from emails, calendars, messages and project management tools into a single, prioritized overview with just a single prompt.

Availability
Trimble Arc Agent is available for Trimble customers around the world. Operating on a single-tier subscription with no seat limits or feature gates, users receive 10 hours of agent working time (with additional overage hours available) and automatic access to all new skills and features as they launch. The skills catalog will continue to expand as new skills are added over time.

New tool will help firms deliver a highly personalized client experience at scale

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Feathery, the AI operating and decisioning system for financial services, today announced the launch of its new AI-Powered Proposal Generation solution for wealth management firms. As firms look for ways to improve organic growth rates, this innovation solves the long-standing operational challenge of creating highly personalized proposals for every client.

Proposal Generation makes highly personalized proposals practical at scale. Feathery brings together client data, planning documents, advisor expertise, and firm-approved templates in a single AI workspace, drawing information from systems such as Salesforce, eMoney, Vanilla, Holistiplan, Addepar, Morningstar, and more. Feathery’s AI assistant, Robin, uses those inputs to draft a proposal tailored to each client’s financial picture, goals, and priorities while maintaining the firm’s templates, branding, and disclosures. Teams can then collaborate on the proposal and chat with Robin in natural language to make changes, with updates reflected directly in the document.

“Wealth firms know how to deliver personalization that’s unique to each client’s financial situation but doing so takes time and requires significant collaboration across different groups in an organization,” said Peter Dun, co-founder and CEO of Feathery. “Feathery helps firms bring together their collective expertise and remove operational complexity so they can deliver more personalized experiences while reducing manual work.”

Reflecting Each Client’s Unique Financial Story

With Proposal Generation, Feathery helps firms overcome the traditional tradeoff between speed and personalization. By reducing the manual preparation and coordination behind each proposal, Feathery helps firms deliver a higher level of personalization more consistently across their advisor teams, without requiring the same level of effort for every client.

Proposal Generation is the latest addition to Feathery’s platform that is flexible and specialized enough to power the entire client and policy lifecycle while fitting seamlessly into the systems firms already rely on. Feathery has extensive experience automating complex wealth management workflows including advisor onboarding, account opening, advisor transitions and repapering.

Civitas ID Receives $500,000 Grant to Build Open-Source Digital Public Infrastructure Closing the Documentation Gap

$500,000 two-year grant from the Gates Foundation to advance open-source Digital Public Infrastructure designed for people excluded from formal systems due to documentation gapsAdvances open-source technology leveraging open standards and artificial intelligenceAddresses the documentation gap that prevents nearly a billion people from fully participating in the global economy, initially focused on displaced populations where the barrier is most acute

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Civitas ID, a US-based nonprofit building open-source digital identity infrastructure, today announced a two-year, $500,000 grant from the Gates Foundation. The funding continues the development of a resilient Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) specifically designed to close the documentation gap that prevents nearly a billion people worldwide from fully participating in the global economy. Civitas is initially focused on displaced populations where the barrier is most acute, with technology built to serve the wider population over time.

A barrier keeping people around the world from formal work, banking, healthcare, and education is not poverty alone. It is the inability to prove who they are and what they have done in a way institutions recognize. Civitas is developing three components to close that gap: verifiable digital credentials that institutions issue and verify, a wallet where individuals hold and control their own credentials, and a platform that helps people navigate the services and aid available to them. Together they are designed to be durable, adopted by governments and multilateral institutions, and adapted by partners. Civitas is actively developing partnerships and pilot programs in Colombia and Kenya to close the documentation gap.

“Nearly a billion people lack documentation institutions will trust,” said Colin Walsh, Founder and Board Chair, Civitas ID. “Civitas is initially focused on the 117.8 million forcibly displaced, where the barrier is most acute. They carry skills, ambitions, and the will to build stable lives. This funding from the Gates Foundation lets us build the digital public infrastructure to address the problem at scale and shift the paradigm from aid to self-reliance.”

The architecture is open-source and inspectable, built on W3C Verifiable Credentials, Decentralized Identifiers, and open protocols. The credentials are designed for institutional recognition across governments, banks, employers, healthcare providers, and schools.

Human-centered design research led by IDEO.org has anchored the technology development in the actual needs of the people it serves. The objective is that people own their identities and use verifiable credentials to unlock opportunity, stability, and long-term mobility, wherever they are.

ABOUT CIVITAS ID
Civitas ID is a US-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN 39-2324240) building open-source digital identity infrastructure. Civitas ID’s mission is to turn documentation from an economic barrier into an institutionally recognized bridge to opportunity and integration. The organization’s vision is a world where everyone can prove who they are and what they have done, wherever they are. Civitas ID has assembled a global ecosystem of humanitarian, academic, financial, technology, and legal partners across deployment corridors in Colombia and Kenya. Learn more at civitasid.org.
