CDE Sync™ + Trimble Viewpoint.

Overview: 

Trimble is commonly used for model coordination and field delivery alongside a client or principal's document CDE, which usually means models and drawings are being exported, renamed and re-uploaded by hand between the two. CDE Sync™ removes that step entirely, streaming models, documents and metadata between Trimble and every other platform on your project. Retiring a platform altogether rather than running an ongoing sync? CDE Migrate™ handles that one-off move instead, preserving version history, metadata and audit trails intact. 

Who it's for: 

BIM Managers, Digital Engineers, Document Controllers and Project Managers running Trimble alongside another CDE. 

What CDE Sync™ does for Trimble users: 

• Synchronises models, documents and metadata between Trimble and every other connected CDE 

• Maps metadata fields automatically against the target platform's schema 

• Preserves version history and workflow state, so nothing gets flattened or overwritten in transit 

• Logs every transfer for audit and compliance purposes 

• Pairs with CDE Migrate™ when you're moving off or onto Trimble entirely rather than running an ongoing sync 

How it connects: 

CDE Sync™ connects to Trimble through a dedicated service account and secure API integration, configured entirely through CDE Sync™'s no-code setup wizard. No scripting, no developer involvement, and nothing installed on your infrastructure. 

Also syncs with:

Autodesk Forma (BIM360/ACC), Bentley ProjectWise, Microsoft SharePoint, Procore, Oracle Aconex, 12d Synergy, Asite, InEight, Trimble, Bluebeam, Egnyte, Dalux, RIB, Network Servers, and Azure Blob.

Security:

Built on Microsoft Azure and hosted in your choice of data region to meet residency and sovereignty requirements, see our Global Data Regions map. SOC 2 Type II certified, full detail on our Security & Trust Portal.

• SOC 2 Type II certified

• Cyber Essentials certified

• Zero file persistence – data streams between your network server and the target CDE, and is never stored or cached

• Outbound-only connection from your network, minimising attack surface for classified and on-premises environments

• Full audit logging of every file and metadata change for traceability and compliance

FAQs: 

Can CDE Sync™ replace manually re-uploading between Trimble and our other CDE?

> Yes, that's the exact problem this integration is built for. 

How long does a Trimble connection take to set up?

> Typically 15 to 30 minutes. 

Can we sync in both directions, or only one way?

> CDE Sync™ supports inbound, outbound and bi-directional syncs, configured per project. 

Does this affect our existing Trimble project structure or permissions?

> No, CDE Sync™ syncs alongside your existing structure without changing user permissions in Trimble. 

What if we want to migrate to Trimble entirely, not just sync?

> That's CDE Migrate™, our one-off migration service. It moves everything at once, preserving version history, metadata and audit trails, rather than keeping platforms continuously synchronised. 

Does Issues Sync™ work with Trimble?

> Issues Sync™ currently connects Autodesk Forma and Construction Cloud, Bentley iTwin, Asite, Oracle Aconex, 12d Synergy, Procore, Microsoft SharePoint and InEight. Talk to us about adding Trimble to your Issues Sync™ configuration.
