UPG’s Hands-On Trimble Rail Support

Stockinbingal to Port Hedland

At UPG, providing exceptional Trimble Rail support across Australia is fundamental to our belief in true partnership. This means being there for our customers, wherever “there” may be. Recently, Peter Thomson, UPG’s Product Manager for Rail, our dedicated Trimble Rail solutions specialists, exemplified this commitment. He embarked on an extensive journey across the nation – from the regional tracks of Stockinbingal, NSW, to the vital mining railways of Port Hedland, WA.

This wasn’t just a fly-in, fly-out visit; Peter was on the ground, delivering crucial hands-on assistance. This involved tailored training sessions, intricate system setups for Trimble Rail technology, and invaluable ongoing guidance right in the field. As he shared, the experience was profoundly impactful:

“It’s incredibly rewarding to see their progress firsthand — watching teams grow in confidence and capability, and knowing the time and effort put in is genuinely appreciated. Being away from home for extended periods can be challenging, but the outcomes make it worthwhile. The relationships built and the trust earned are what make the job meaningful.”

We understand that implementing and optimising advanced Trimble Rail technology requires more than just software; it demands expert assistance and a collaborative spirit.
