Still undecided? Real surveyors share why choosing Trimble Protected Plan coverage was their best decision.

Zach Taraschi with Souder, Miller & Associates Says...

Through our partnership with Vectors, SMA has maximized the benefits of the Trimble Protection Plan (TPP). Often perceived as merely a warranty program, the TPP has enabled us to extend the lifespan of our equipment by up to a decade. At SMA, we leverage the TPP to enhance our equipment with firmware updates, providing new features and long-term protection against wear and tear. Trimble's continuous development of advanced technologies for terrestrial and global instruments allows us to utilize these innovations through the TPP, reducing the need for frequent equipment purchases. Over the past decade, this has enabled us to integrate technologies such as support for new GNSS constellations, Ionoguard, and Trimble Access improvements. Additionally, the TPP has facilitated the repair of damaged equipment, further minimizing the necessity for replacements, and Vector’s staff have been there to educate and aid us in every facet of the TPP.

"From active construction sites to remote boundary and topographic surveying projects, AUI surveying crews work in challenging work environments. We depend on the reliability of our equipment to complete our surveying tasks in the safest and most efficient way possible. To meet these goals, we utilize the Trimble Protection Plan to cover every piece of Trimble equipment in our inventory. From data collectors and radio modules to our GNSS receivers and SX-series scanning total stations, every unit is covered. The TPP is hassle-free and provides coverage for damage and repair. And as an additional benefit to keeping your equipment covered, Vectors will provide you with loaner equipment while yours is being repaired, avoiding any project down time. The Vectors staff manages our TPP plan, works with us to adjust to convenient billing cycles, and immediately responds to issues we encounter. We have never questioned our full participation in the Trimble Protection Plan."

Rich Carlson with Aztec Consultants Says...

"The warranties (Trimble Protection Plan) have allowed us to stay up to date on all the latest firmware/software updates on all our equipment. It also allows us to transfer our licensees to new equipment at no additional cost when we upgrade. The Protection Plans cover all the issues we might encounter with our equipment as well. If a keypad wears out, a collector screen goes bad, along with multiple other possible scenarios such as the camera, radio, sim card, SD card and many more. In most cases repairing one of these issues would be more than the warranty costs to begin with so by purchasing the warranty you are covered worry free of costly expenses every year on all your equipment. Another great feature of the Protection Plan is if the top notch highly experienced crew at Vector’s cannot fix your equipment in house and it requires being sent back to Trimble for repairs or replacement, you get loaner equipment to use with no additional rental fees that you would encounter otherwise without the protection plan while your equipment is out so you have no potential of any down time due to lack of equipment or additional costly expenses."
