Summary

Trimble Unity Maintain builds on Cityworks with stronger GIS integration, cloud scalability and streamlined workflows to cut costs and extend asset life.

Organizations in the local government, utilities, transportation, healthcare, education and private sectors who are responsible for managing existing infrastructure through the lifecycle phases are looking for streamlined end-to-end asset lifecycle management capabilities that help optimize processes, enhance outcomes and reduce the costs of asset ownership.

Introducing Trimble Unity Maintain — building on the solid foundations and trusted capabilities of Cityworks, AgileAssets and Trimble Unity Work Management — and built on the Esri ArcGIS® platform.

Trimble Unity Maintain is a cloud-based, GIS-centric enterprise asset management software designed for public and private organizations. It helps owners of complex properties and infrastructure enhance efficiency and cut costs by optimizing asset operation and maintenance.

Trimble Unity Maintain helps tackle key asset lifecycle management challenges

Improve decision-making, enhance efficiency, and optimize asset operation and maintenance with Trimble Unity Maintain.

All of the functionality in Cityworks 23.x is available in Trimble Unity Maintain, plus significant enhancements and improvements including better data security, scalable cloud infrastructure, reduced IT overhead and automatic updates. It integrates maintenance management, eliminates data silos, provides real-time updates and improves decision-making. Proactive maintenance cuts costs and extends asset life, while improved visibility and streamlined processes enhance service reliability.


Why the move away from Cityworks to a new offering?

Trimble Unity Maintain is part of the Trimble Unity Asset Lifecycle Management Solution, a suite of capabilities that connect workflows across the asset lifecycle — from planning, design and construction to asset operation and maintenance.

This unified, holistic approach enables better decisions about asset rehabilitation and replacement, facilitates reliable and sustainable service delivery and helps ensure regulatory compliance. Owners that use this asset lifecycle management approach can reduce the total cost of asset ownership by as much as 40%.

Trimble Unity Maintain addresses key challenges by leveraging valuable GIS data from all stages of an asset’s lifecycle. It digitizes asset maintenance workflows from a single, unified platform with a centralized asset inventory, providing teams with enhanced data visibility that enables better decision-making. Plus, the integrated Trimble Unity Field mobile app works with Trimble Unity Maintain to support seamless field-to-office workflows.

Furthermore, this approach provides Trimble the agility to iterate faster, deliver innovation through future releases and enable your organization to comprehensively manage, analyze and plan your infrastructure investment strategy while delivering a superior level of service.


What about existing Cityworks customers?

Trimble Unity Maintain is intended to replace the Trimble Cityworks platform over the long term. The transition timelines are still to be determined, but in the interim; these offerings (on-prem or online) will continue to be maintained and supported to deliver customer commitments in the application.

For customers, the transition promises tighter GIS integration, real-time data workflows and a broader ecosystem that reduces total cost of ownership over time. Instead of isolated tools, you get an integrated solution that grows with your needs and adapts to new challenges.

Trimble Unity Maintain is also designed to be interoperable with other customer business applications through a modernized tech stack and API structure, enabling the use and analysis of larger data sets specific to asset management.

Cityworks customers who wish to adopt Trimble Unity Maintain must migrate from a heritage product like Cityworks or AgileAssets, or must purchase Trimble Unity Maintain as a new capability.
