  On 6/2/2025, Trimble deleted 89 projects from TrimbleConnect. This location data and these projects are vital to the company and without them, we are missing reporting deadlines and held up on environmental field work. Our progress is months behind where it needs to be due to this issue and the company is facing serious fines/penalties due to late reporting. The data from the missing projects took years of work to record and is irreplicable. Initially, Trimble determined that I deleted the projects on 6/4/25, which is incorrect because the date Trimble believed that the projects were deleted on was a day after I contacted their support company ****************** about the issue of missing projects (on 6/3/25). It has been over a month since this issue first occurred and we have seen no progress whatsoever from Trimble. Their team will not speak directly with our company and will only communicate through Frontier Precision, who is also not receiving much communication from Trimble. Additionally, we were informed by Frontier Precision on 7/8/25 that the projects had been restored, but when we checked to confirm, none of the aforementioned projects were present in our company's projects folder.

  Hello,

  We have our dev team researching the issue, a support agent will be reaching out shortly to discuss more details.

  Note: Only users can delete projects.  If we have to restore them manually it takes a long time and is done 1 by 1.

  We will work to help you get back up and running.

  I called Trimble to sign up for their accubid program. They told me I had to pay 30 days later. I agreed thinking that I was going to be able to immediatly use the product. It took a long time to schedule a time they were available to show me how to install their product onto my computer, it should have been immediate. After it was installed I tried to use the program and could not, I had also signed up to take a class on how to use the program. The messed up thing is that when i signed up for the program they did not tell me that the first training was over a month after i purchased the product and the training. It just so happened that the week they finely had a spot for me i had a trip planned and could not do the class. Once i got home it took them another 2 months to get me into a class. I did take the class however we have been so slow since Febuary that we have not been able to afford to pay them. I called them several times to try to setup a payment plan and they would not work with me. I then called them to cancel the whole thing before i took the class and they would not let me cancel. All i want is for them to be humble human beings and help me out with a payment plan or allow me to cancel the whole thing. The class i took was also horrible. it did not even teach me how to use the estimating program. this is a classic bait and switch. they should be held accountable for their dishonesty and cheating.

  Hello,

  Spark Smith Electric,
  Inc. entered a contract signed by Mr. Smith, owner, with Net 30 day payment
  terms. The next day we emailed Mr. Smith to provide a link to schedule software
  installation. Mr. Smith missed the first scheduled installation with no
  response to our email about rescheduling for over two weeks. From there, we
  made multiple attempts to accommodate Mr. Smith, and each time he agreed to the
  proposed arrangements, he later presented new reasons for being unable to meet
  them. This includes rescheduling his training sessions multiple times.
  Meanwhile, Spark Smith Electric, Inc. has made no payment under the
  contract. During his last conversation with Trimble's Sales Manager, he used
  inappropriate language and demanded changes to his payment schedule. We
  informed him that such changes to his payment schedule would incur additional
  costs, which he was unwilling to accept. Unfortunately, Mr. Smith's stated
  reasons for needing accommodations have been inconsistent across his
  interactions with various team members, and we have detailed records of all
  these communications.

  If we do not receive
  immediate payment under the contract, we may assign the unpaid overdue account
  balance to our collections agency.

The software was not even utilized yet they renewed subscription evenwhen have email stating the Contract TERM - 12 months and contract END date idMarch 27, 2025. We have let them know numerous times that we aren't going topay thousands of dollars for a product that we have NOT used! Plus they areincreasing the price! They already canceled the subscription (see one of theemails attached) but they want us to pay $2,376 for another year. We're not goingto just give them money! They already got $2,268 from us and the service wasnever utilized. We would like to make sure that we no longer receive emails orinvoices and the account is considered paid i full and CLOSED!

  Hello,

  As stated on the previous duplicate compliant to the BBB see our response below:

  ****************** signed a contract with Trimble in March 2024 to purchase a 12-month subscription to Trimble software. As is standard in the software industry, our subscriptions automatically renew. The contract signed by ****************** contained a very obvious renewal clause (in bold, underlined text) that clearly stated that all subscriptions automatically renew for additional 12 month terms unless either party provides the other with notice of cancellation at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term.
  Trimble sent ****************** its standard renewal notices and ****************** did not exercise its option to cancel the subscription during the 30-day cancellation window. Accordingly, the subscription renewed for an additional 12-month term through March 2026. This renewal is enforceable under the terms and conditions accepted by *******************
  Trimble stands behind its products and is confident that our software can be successfully used in ******************* business, just as it is by many similar companies.

  We are disappointed that ****************** is not satisfied with our software and has no intent to use it. Even though the renewal is enforceable, as a concession, Trimble agrees to cancel ******************* renewal, credit any unpaid invoices, and close their account. 

  This is in process.  If you have additional questions please feel free to reach out directly.

  I was contacted by email address ****************************************** offering me the opportunity to be hired as a Leadership: Remote Executive Coaching Role at Trimble Inc. I said I was interested, received a document with over 20 questions to send back which I provided as my interview. I did ask the recruiter how she got my email, no reply. Today I was given an offer letter and it all seemed very scammy. I did email the media inquiries which is your only form of contact to have my email forwarded. I just wanted you to know that people are posing to be your company.

  Dear Better Business Bureau,I am writing to file a formal complaint against Trimble Inc. due to their failure to respond to my refund request after an auto-renewal of my subscription. Despite immediately reaching out through their specified channels and following their stated refund policy, my attempts to communicate have been consistently ignored.Upon the auto-renewal of my account, I promptly contacted Trimble via their online email form to request a refund. Receiving no response, I spent considerable time searching for additional contact methods, including direct emails and phone numbers. Despite multiple emails and voice messages, there has been no acknowledgment or reply.This lack of response has persisted for over a month, and I find it increasingly difficult to reach a resolution or even speak to a representative. This experience feels predatory, especially given the absence of viable contact methods for customer support.

  Business Response

  Date: 01/06/2025

  Hello,

  We have cancelled and refunded the subscriptions for this customer on 12/30.

  Additional Details:

  This customer submitted their initial request on 11/23 and our support team responded back on 11/25 asking a clarifying question ... Trimble never heard back and thus closed the case.

  This customer again submitted the same request on 12/30 and Trimble at that time processed the full refund for 2 Go Plans and then notified the customer via email and closed the case.

  If you have additional questions please don't hesitate to reach out with my contact details below:

  At the beginning of the year, I required access to the software solely for a past project. Trimble sales representative ******** ******* proposed a prepaid option, explaining that payment would only be required when I needed access. Specifically, I was informed that this was a month-to-month, prepaid arrangement, where payment at the start of each month would grant access for that month. I took steps to confirm multiple times that this was not an annual contract. The contract that I singed is a 30 days contract see attachment. However, I keep receiving invoices from the company and they mentioned I signed the yearly contract and I have to pay the full 1 year subscription amount. This is concerning, as it conflicts with the agreement initially presented to me. This change gives the impression of misrepresentation.

  Business Response

  Date: 11/19/2024

  Hello ****** ****,
  
  In response to your filing with the BBB we Trimble have the following response:
  
  As stated in both conversations and email correspondence we Trimble do not offer any 1 month subscriptions or offerings that allow you to pay for use up front and/or turn the service on at some point down the line when you need it to review past projects.  If you have this offering in writing from Trimble please provide a copy of such correspondence. 
  
  Also note in the Quote PDF document that you supplied Terms and Conditions Item 3 states MONTHLY AUTOMATIC RENEWALS. All monthly subscriptions will automatically renew for subsequent monthly terms at the then-current pricing and then-current terms stated in the renewal notice,unless
  either party provides the other with notice of cancellation prior to the expiration of the then-current term.
  
  We Trimble believe you signed a contract for Subscription with a monthly payment option that renews and bills monthly for 1 year.
  
  Further discussions can be had directly with your currently assigned Account Manager

  Complaint: 22574102
  
  I am rejecting this response because:
  

  I am writing to address an issue regarding the terms of the contract I signed, as explained to me by your sales representative, Mr. ******** *******. Based on the information he provided, I understood that I was entering into a prepaid monthly contract. Specifically, I was informed that I would only be required to prepay for the months when I needed access to the old project. Furthermore, it was clarified multiple times during our phone conversations that the contract was not an annual agreement, but instead had a 30-day duration from the beginning of the month to its end.
  Upon reviewing the documents I signed, I found no indication or terms specifying a one-year commitment. Had the agreement been presented as an annual contract, I would not have signed it and would have reconsidered my options accordingly.
  It appears that either:
  The information provided by your sales representative was misleading, leading to a misrepresentation of the terms of the agreement; or
  There has been a retroactive change to the terms and conditions of the contract after my signing.
  
  I look forward to your prompt response to resolve this issue amicably.

  
  Sincerely,

  In 2015 I purchased Sketchup Pro 2016 for $519.40. In 2018, several core features of the software stopped working due to a contract with the previous owner ********* At that time Trimble refused to offer any constructive solution to the loss of functionality that was advertised and sold with the software. In July 2024, I needed to access files saved in the .skp format and convert them to a more usable format for work. After finding the software installer I installed the software on two computers, but the software would not activate. I reached out to Trimble support and they informed me that I can no longer activate the software. This renders a product I paid for to no longer work and there was no effort to provide similar functionality. The software was sold with a "perpetual" license. That implies that the license is "forever." If, when I bought the software it would have been presented to me that what I was buying was a $500 temporary use fee, I wouldn't have paid it. Trimble either misrepresented the product at the time of sale or materially changed the contract after the sale. First by removing functionality that was marketed and sold with the product in 2018, and again in ****************************************************************************** the end, rather than purchasing a tool I can use, I paid to use a tool for a brief period of time (2 years), which is not what was sold to me at the time of purchase. I have asked for a solution in the past and again now, and the only remedy was for me to pay more money. At this point, I either want a full refund, the software to function as designed when purchased, or a replacement of equal value.
