SUNNYVALE, Calif.—Trimble announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire privately-held Viewpoint from Bain Capital in an all-cash transaction valued at $1.2 billion. Viewpoint is highly complementary to Trimble’s e-Builder business, and will extend Trimble's ability to provide more complete and integrated project, jobsite, and business workflows across the construction lifecycle.
Viewpoint is a provider of scalable construction management software, which integrates a contractor’s financial and resource management to their project operations and to their jobsite and field. The integration across the office, team, and field enables contractors to employ Viewpoint to effectively manage and have visibility to data and workflows that span the construction lifecycle from pre-production planning, to product operations and supply chain management, and then to project hand over and asset operation and maintenance. The company’s suite of purpose-built SaaS, client-server and mobile solutions improve project performance, provide increased visibility, and deliver integrated workflow data to the entire team consisting of general contractors, project managers, architects, engineers, and subcontractors.
