Trimble® Quantm® Professional is a unique route optimization technology using a service business model that delivers a very high return on investment.Planners use the Quantm software that allows them to input data, define project scenarios and review alignments on their standard personal computers. The planner’s data inputs are delivered to the Trimble processing center, either directly or via the Internet. The optimization is carried out on Quantm Pathfinder, an advanced, secure IT platform with the results being returned to the client for review.To obtain the maximum value out of the system, it should be applied by skilled planners and engineers who are experienced and understand the processes involved in road and/or rail infrastructure planning.Many issues associated with planning are subjective and the interpretation of these issues into constraints for the system is a key function of the planners and engineers.Trimble provides comprehensive training and support to system operators for a contracted period typically linked to the duration of the project.
