In another move to benefit the construction industry, Trimble acquired Ryvit. Launched in 2016, Ryvit is an integration platform-as-a-service provider for the construction industry.
Ryvit’s technology builds connections between commonly used applications and data sources, allowing information sharing both within and across organizations. This data sharing helps project teams use the right information to make the right decisions at the right time.
“The construction industry today is stymied by disparate data and technology solutions that don’t connect with one another, making it difficult to share information across departments and amongst project teams,” said Pete Large, senior vice president, Trimble Construction sector. “Ryvit provides a platform for software solution providers and construction stakeholders to rapidly build and deploy workflows, enabling the automatic flow of critical information across organizations and teams in real time. At Trimble, we believe that openness and interoperability are imperative to the future of the construction industry and are excited to extend Ryvit’s capabilities to more customers, applications and partners as we move the construction industry forward.”
Ryvit helps customers seamlessly integrate their data and coordinate their workflows for greater project visibility because it processes millions of records between construction technology partners daily. All current Ryvit integrations allow for an open, extensible ecosystem. They will continue to be supported as part of Trimble Construction One. Rybit’s primary offerings will undergo a rebrand to Data Xchange and App Xchange.
Data Xchange will allow end users to configure and manage their data flows between connected systems. App Xchange serves as the developer’s command center for connecting systems, building pre-configured dataflows and onboarding new customers.
“Ryvit has been relentlessly focused on transforming the construction industry into a more productive and profitable industry powered by data,” said Tom Stemm, chief executive officer of Ryvit. "Over the past seven years, we’ve done this by building a platform that connects data between some of the industry’s largest technology providers to improve efficiency and streamline workflows for construction. Trimble is similarly focused on becoming an industry-leading open platform provider, so this acquisition is a perfect match for both companies, who share a similar mission and vision for the industries we serve.”
