SIMA and Trimble: Driving smarter logistics together
Carriers and logistics service providers (LSPs) are currently operating in one of the toughest environments ever. Margins are tighter, customer expectations are higher and there's a constant pressure to be faster, leaner and more transparent. That’s why partnerships that cut through the complexity are so powerful.
SIMA, Italy’s leading provider of carrier transportation management systems (TMS), has teamed up with Trimble, a global leader in advanced logistics technology, to deliver just that. Their collaboration enhances SIMA’s TMS:SGA (Advanced Management System) with Trimble’s commercial mapping platform and advanced trip management tools. By joining Trimble’s Transporeon Integrated App Program (TIAP), SIMA ensures seamless interoperability with Transporeon’s platform, creating a more connected, intelligent ecosystem for carriers.
Smarter routing, sharper decisions
With Trimble’s detailed road network data, real-time traffic insights and commercial vehicle restrictions built directly into SIMA’s TMS, route planning becomes dynamic. Dispatchers can adapt instantly to traffic jams, delays or last-minute changes — with precise ETA predictions and driver monitoring adding an extra layer of control.
As Mauro Pederzolli, CEO of SIMA, explains: “The integration of Trimble’s commercial mapping solutions has allowed us to expand our platform's functionalities, improve interoperability, and boost operational efficiency. It confirms our commitment to offering customers advanced digital tools that truly respond to the need for traceability, automation and process control.”
Efficiency that pays off
The real win is consistency and efficiency. With one unified system, carriers and LSPs cut operational costs while enhancing service. Advanced analytics highlight trends and bottlenecks, giving logistics managers the insights they need to optimise performance and reduce waste.
David Quin, director of European strategic alliances at Trimble, highlights the bigger picture: “This collaboration empowers carriers with greater transparency and control. It’s a perfect example of how advanced technology and deep industry expertise can work together to deliver optimised operations and a more resilient supply chain.”
Why it matters
For logistics leaders, this isn’t just another piece of software. It’s a way to stay one step ahead in a volatile market. Carriers get consistent, accurate data across every operation. LSPs can make smarter, faster decisions. And both gain resilience: the ability to adapt and keep moving, no matter what the road brings.
With SIMA and Trimble driving together, the industry gets more than data. It gets actionable intelligence that saves money, boosts efficiency and builds a supply chain ready for the future.
