Agile Assets

Agile Assets, now part of the Trimble Unity suite and rebranding to Trimble Unity Maintain, is an enterprise transportation asset management platform built for government agencies that need to plan, maintain, and optimize roads, bridges, airports, rail networks, and other public infrastructure. For over 25 years, the software has served state DOTs, municipal public works departments, transit authorities, and federal infrastructure programs with predictive analytics and GIS-centric decision support tools that extend asset lifecycles while working within constrained budgets.

The platform combines inventory tracking, condition assessment, risk modeling, and work plan optimization into a single integrated system. Rather than relying on spreadsheets or disconnected databases, agencies use Agile Assets to centralize every asset record, forecast deterioration, compare funding scenarios, and schedule maintenance proactively.

Key Features

• Predictive analytics and scenario modeling: Compare what-if scenarios across timelines, budgets, and performance targets to identify the optimal mix of preservation, rehabilitation, and replacement work for each asset class.
• GIS-integrated asset inventory: Visualize every road segment, bridge, culvert, signal, sign, and fleet vehicle on embedded GIS maps with full attribute data, construction history, and real-time condition scores.
• Work order and field operations management: Streamline field-to-office communication with mobile-enabled work orders, inspection scheduling, crew tracking, and automated compliance reporting.
• Cross-asset trade-off analysis: Use Portfolio Analyst to compare investment priorities across pavement, structures, signals, and other asset types so funding decisions reflect system-wide impact rather than siloed budgets.
• Risk assessment and safety compliance: Identify high-risk assets proactively using condition data and deterioration curves, then prioritize repairs before failures impact public safety or trigger regulatory penalties.
• Maintenance lifecycle management: Track preventive maintenance schedules, corrective work history, and warranty expirations across every asset to extend service life and reduce long-term replacement costs.

Suite of Solutions

Agile Assets is not a single application but a family of integrated modules that agencies can deploy individually or as a unified system:

• Portfolio Analyst performs cross-asset optimization to balance funding across pavement, bridges, signals, and fleet investments.
• Pavement Analyst models highway network deterioration and recommends optimal treatment timing and work types for every road segment.
• Structures Analyst manages bridge and tunnel inventories with AASHTO-compliant condition rating, element-level inspection data, and long-term preservation planning.
• Structures Inspector provides web and mobile tools for bridge inspection scheduling, field data collection, review workflows, and automated report generation.
• Maintenance Manager handles daily operations including crew assignments, material tracking, citizen request response, and winter maintenance coordination.
• Signal and ITS Manager tracks traffic signal assets, intelligent transportation system devices, and their maintenance cycles on a GIS/LRS backbone.
• Fleet and Equipment Manager monitors vehicle and heavy equipment utilization, maintenance schedules, fuel consumption, and total cost of ownership.

Pricing and Plans

Trimble Agile Assets uses sales-led pricing with no publicly listed self-serve plans. Each deployment is scoped to the size of the agency's asset inventory, the modules selected, and the number of licensed users. Prospective customers must contact Trimble sales for a tailored quote and demonstration. Free trials are not offered, and there is no freemium tier available for smaller municipalities or individual departments.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Comprehensive coverage of transportation asset types including pavement, bridges, signals, fleet, and right-of-way assets on a single platform.
• Scenario-based optimization helps agencies justify funding requests with data-driven projections of condition outcomes.
• Mobile field applications support offline data collection and photo capture during inspections in areas with limited connectivity.
• GIS integration ties every asset record to a spatial location, making it easy to visualize network condition and prioritize geographically.
• Backed by Trimble's global support infrastructure, training programs, and professional services for implementation.

Cons:

• Pricing is not public, which makes budget planning and vendor comparison difficult for smaller agencies.
• No free trial or self-service evaluation option is available, requiring a sales engagement before any hands-on testing.
• The platform is designed for government-scale deployments and may be oversized for small townships or private contractors managing limited asset portfolios.
• Integration with non-Trimble GIS and ERP systems requires custom configuration that can extend implementation timelines.

Who Should Use Agile Assets

Agile Assets is built for state and national Departments of Transportation, metropolitan planning organizations, county public works departments, airport authorities, and transit agencies that manage thousands of distributed physical assets and need to defend budget allocation decisions with transparent analytics. It fits organizations where asset failure carries public safety consequences and compliance reporting is mandated by federal or state regulation.

The platform is a poor fit for small municipalities with fewer than a few hundred assets, private engineering firms that need project-level cost estimating rather than network-level lifecycle modeling, or teams that require a lightweight, self-serve SaaS tool deployable without vendor onboarding and training.
