Trimble Launches New Cloud-Based Version of its Log Inventory and Management System for Forestry

New Trimble LIMS PRO Gives Small- and Medium-Sized Companies the Opportunity to Realize Productivity and Growth Gains

Trimble announced the launch of LIMS PRO, a new cloud-hosted version of its widely used Log Inventory and Management System (LIMS) to manage sawmill raw material procurement. As a cloud-based log settlement solution, LIMS PRO is designed to improve operational visibility for mills. It enables small- and medium-sized forest product companies to realize productivity and growth gains that only large companies have historically been able to afford by digitizing lumber supply chain workflows.

Taking the power of LIMS and creating a more accessible Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) version, this robust business management software streamlines contracts, receiving, inventory and settlement processes into a single platform, providing forestry companies with a complete picture of their operations. In addition, the software assists with mobile ticketing in the woods before the logs make their way to sawmills, eliminating the need for manual recordkeeping.

Read More: SalesTechStar Interview with Boris Chaplin, Director of Innovation, ML & AI, Calabrio

Comprised of a mobile application, web-based applications and an onsite receiving application connected to the weigh scale, LIMS PRO provides an easily accessible reporting dashboard that shows exactly what is happening from forest to sawmill. Whether in the woods or at the weighing scale, this new software simplifies the complete process for sawmills—taking it from days to hours through improved data accuracy, real-time reconciliation, minimization of processing errors and faster truck turn times.

“At Trimble, we work closely with our customers to digitize their supply chain data,” said Kevin Toohill, general manager of Trimble Forestry. “LIMS PRO enables partners and others along the value chain to digitally transform their operations—moving from paper tickets, log sheets and manual data entry to modern workflows. This means increased accuracy and less time spent tracking down paper copies or entering data multiple times.”

“Leveraging our work with more than 500 large forestry customers, we have developed a hosted, cloud-based solution that gives small- and medium-sized businesses the opportunity to benefit from our enterprise expertise while having digital workflows tailored to meet their needs,” said Toohill. “This takes the complexity out of managing and maintaining a dedicated on-prem log and inventory management system.”

In addition to digitizing the supply chain, this new software enables forestry organizations to:

  • Simplify load reconciliation by syncing the weigh scale to the settlement system within minutes
  • Automate invoicing and financial settlements
  • Track yard inventory while monitoring costs to procure timber inventory
  • Manage key performance indicators and assess the overall health of the business
  • Seamlessly share data with partners
  • Eliminate need for additional IT infrastructure as the solution is hosted and managed in Trimble’s secure AWS cloud environment
  • Integrate mobile tickets, using the LIMS mobile application, with weigh scales to replace hand-written tickets and log sheets

The Growth of Generative AI

Gigantic language and image models, also known as generative AI, are set to create a plethora of opportunities for professionals and businesses…

Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that involves the use of algorithms to generate new content such as images, videos, and text. While generative AI has been around for some time, it is now becoming mainstream thanks to advancements in machine learning algorithms and the availability of large datasets.

The technology is becoming more popular with services such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, DALL-E, or Midjourney. From media and entertainment, to design, and more, Generative AI has a key role to play. Generative AI has already disrupted our work and life, and this is just the beginning.

Read More: Future of RFID: The Cost of Inaccurate Inventory

Some areas where Generative AI is already making its mark are:

  • Language Models: We have generative models such as ChatGPT that are trained to create human-like text.
  • Generative Design: We can use AI to create new designs and artwork, and it saves our time and effort.
  • Music Generation: Some generative models can compose music, create beats, and even generate MIDI files.
  • Robotics and Control: We have AI-based tools to generate control systems for robots and other physical devices.

While this is an impressive list of areas where generative AI is already creating an impact, the reality is, artificial intelligence will penetrate more and more in our everyday areas.

Currently, new artificial intelligence technology is taking Silicon Valley by storm. Very soon, you will get to use it in your daily software suite of Microsoft and Google. While we know that the first broad applications of AI have burst into the realm of the consumer internet, with ChatGPT and its open-ended chats. However, Microsoft and Google made announcements to add AI into their daily tools for knowledge workers.

“As we look ahead, we believe this generative AI will unlock a new wave of productivity growth, Satya Nadella”

Let us see how Microsoft and Google are entering the realm of generative AI in a more sophisticated way.

Microsoft and AI

Last week, Microsoft has made announcements of its plans to push AI into all corners of its business. The software giant has committed a $13 billion partnership with the start-up Open AI, whose ChatGPT bot has already captured the attention of everyone.

Microsoft has recently integrated Open AI models into its Bing search engine.

Microsoft will integrate AI assistants called Capilots into the software. The bot will draw data from the customer information already stored in the database.

Google and AI

Google has also taken the same path as Microsoft to generate some more profits from generative. It will soon incorporate AI into the software that businesses pay for. The company has plans to embed AI into emails and word-processing docs to draft emails and create job descriptions and other documents by giving simple prompts to the AI model.

With this AI integration into the Google suite, users can create more playful or professional content in a matter of seconds. However, these features will be available to the trusted users of the company. Google has also debuted Generative AI app builder, a tool to help businesses and governments to quickly develop their chatbots.

Just as software developers flocked to build more applications for smartphones, Google expects that more programmers will be interested to build new AI applications. Building such large models is not easy, and it demands the work of specialized engineers with rare qualities and supercomputers to handle processing demands. Most of the companies will not have the resources to replicate the work of Google, Microsoft, or Open AI, so they are working to fulfil the market demand.

Irrespective of the industry it is used in, generative AI will have a profound impact on each of them.

Read More: SalesTechStar Interview with Joanna Johnston, Chief Customer Officer at BigPanda

Will Generative AI replace Jobs?

Although the new technology has the potential to automate a few tasks, it may replace a few jobs. However, we will see a rise in more jobs shortly. Some jobs may become obsolete, but others are likely to evolve to complement the increased use of AI. Furthermore, AI adoption will lead to economic growth and new opportunities in finance, health, transportation, and other sectors.

Wrapping Up

We can say that Generative AI carries the potential to revolutionize several industries, and it is sure to impact our lives in many ways. From creating an immersive and real-life virtual world to automating repetitive tasks, generative AI will improve our productivity to enhance our daily life experiences.

Truecaller: Record Quarter Despite Macroeconomic Headwinds

Truecaller, the leading global platform for verifying contacts and blocking unwanted communication, is proud to report an increase in net sales of 8 percent combined with an increase of adjusted EBITDA of 9 percent to SEK 238,5 million for the second quarter. The EBITDA margin was 46 percent and profit after tax amounted to SEK 205.9 (172.7 in the second quarter of 2023.

“Truecaller’s second quarter was our strongest quarter to date in terms of number of users as well as revenue and profit. I am especially proud that we accomplished this despite macroeconomic challenges which are putting pressure on demand for advertising and declining sales of new smartphones.

Demand for our products are increasing and our user growth has accelerated. During the quarter, we had an average of 355.6 million (321.4) monthly users. Our growth in daily active users is the highest since the end of 2020. Growth in markets outside our largest markets – India as well as Africa and the Middle East – is at a record high. In selected growth markets like MalaysiaIndonesiaColombiaChile and the US the annualized growth rate in Q2 was above 30 percent. Our long term focus to build an even stronger value proposition to increase the daily engagement per daily active user is showing great results, and we see features such as Commenting, AI Assistant, Smart SMS to name a few features, generating significantly higher engagement and long term retention.

Quarterly revenue amounted to SEK 518.4m (480.4). All revenue streams, ads, subscriptions and Truecaller for Business grew healthy. Revenue from Truecaller for Business grew the fastest.

EBITDA amounted to SEK 238.5m (218.5), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 46.0 percent (45.5).

On a seasonal basis, the second quarter is strong for our largest revenue source, ad revenues. In total, ad revenues amounted to SEK 425.2m (414.2). Just like last year, demand for digital advertising grew sharply during India’s largest sporting event, the Indian Premier League (IPL) in cricket. The impact of the IPL was just as strong this year as in 2022, while advertising demand in general remains lower than last year. General demand has stabilized, and at this point we expect neither a further weakening nor a significant improvement compared to the end of the first quarter.

The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an important change driver for our business.  Impersonations, phishing attempts and overall sophistication of scams is increasing rapidly across a wider variety of channels due to the use of AI based technologies. We are adapting our solutions to better enable consumers and businesses to protect themselves.

In summary, we are reporting Truecaller’s strongest quarterly profit ever with accelerating user growth. Seasonally, the second quarter is strong, but in general ad demand is lower than last year and economic conditions and their impact on the advertising market remain difficult to predict. The weaker advertising market that we saw the effects of from the fourth quarter of 2022 persists, but demand has stabilized.”, says Alan Mamedi, CEO of Truecaller.

Aviso Names Former FICO and Salesforce.com CIO Claus Moldt and ex-UIPath & Microsoft Head of AI Products Prabhdeep (PD) Singh as Chief Advisors

Newly appointed Chief Technology and Chief AI Advisors join following debut of industry’s first AI Chief of Staff at New York Stock Exchange

Aviso, the only end-to-end AI revenue operating system, announced two new Advisors have joined the company from the AI and CRM software industry: Claus Moldt, previously Global Chief Information Officer at Salesforce.com and Chief Product Officer and CIO at FICO, and Prabhdeep (PD) Singh, former Head of AI Products at UiPath and Microsoft. Claus and PD will play instrumental roles as Chief Advisors helping scale Aviso’s AI Chief of Staff, MIKI, and Aviso’s industry-leading AI Revenue Operating System.

AI is now the no. 1 item on CNBC’s list of top technology areas to spend on, topping the list at 47 percent and more than doubling the next closest category. Productivity benefits are well documented for Generative AI, but a growing number of companies including leaders in banking, retail and financial services have banned the use of popular open source LLM in the workplace due to lack of protection and confidentiality over sensitive data.

Read More: SalesTechStar Interview with Boris Chaplin, Director of Innovation, ML & AI, Calabrio

“Every company now has the potential to build and benefit from Generative AI and create new kinds of value in their Sales function”

Debuting at NYSE, the industry’s first AI Chief of Staff – MIKI – uses Aviso’s own proprietary LLM to provide secure, personalized experiences across revenue and GTM teams, saving users 8-10 hours a week by making insights from CRM, Cloud Databases, ERP, emails, recorded meetings, and other GTM datasets more accurate, actionable and instantaneously accessible. MIKI’s recommendations are generated from disparate data sources and several AI models that understand all aspects of the sales cycle, individual role and user, all within Aviso’s secure platform. All data is encrypted within Aviso’s proprietary, secure and carefully designed frameworks, unlike alternatives from legacy providers that risk exposing sensitive and confidential data.

“This is an exciting time akin to the cloud boom in the early 2000s where we saw new category leaders emerge,” said Claus Moldt, Chief Technology Advisor of Aviso AI. “What excites me the most about Aviso is their diligent approach to getting the most out of both structured and unstructured data, helping their customers turn them into accurate and actionable insights prompted by the specific use cases and roles. This level of detailed assistance was typically reserved for management, so what Aviso has done in providing a Chief of Staff for all its customers is a tremendous advantage.”

“When every company considered jumping on the ChatGPT bandwagon, only a select few remained true to their commitment of using Generative AI safely and securely to help customers tap in their existing data and accelerate their businesses confidently,” said PD Singh, Chief AI Advisor of Aviso AI. “Generative AI’s growth in the enterprise is entirely dependent on the accuracy of the datasets it analyzes. Aviso remains true to its mission of using AI to drive better outcomes by helping their customers get more out of their datasets to adapt and steer their businesses as they see fit. I’m honored to work with Aviso to continue spearheading next generation experiences in revenue and GTM.”

“Every company now has the potential to build and benefit from Generative AI and create new kinds of value in their Sales function,” said Trevor Rodrigues-Templar, President & CEO of Aviso AI. “We’re pleased to bring on two exceptional leaders and operators in Claus and PD, both with extensive experience scaling innovative products that support customer and revenue growth throughout their careers at Salesforce, UIPath and Microsoft.”

Aviso’s end-to-end AI platform helps businesses like New Relic, Armis and RingCentral by putting the power of AI in the fingertips of CROs, RevOps, Sales Managers and Reps. MIKI – which stands for Machine Intelligent Knowledge Interface – in the first and most secure Generative AI interface for revenue and GTM Teams.
