Providing Farmers with Technology Solutions that Increase Farm Efficiencies and Productivity

American company Trimble announced that is extending its distribution channel by establishing a new global network of independent distribution partners to serve the needs of the rapidly evolving precision agriculture industry. The new Vantage™ distribution network will provide growers, advisors, retailers, co-ops and local OEM dealers with precision agriculture expertise for the entire farm.

Romanian company Vantage Balkans is one of the first companies to be included in this global network. Vantage Balkans was established from Trimble’s authorized reseller in Romania. Vantage Balkans’ central office is located in Bucharest, Romania, and will offer Trimble total farm solutions to growers throughout the surrounding Balkan region.

Vantage Balkans will be committed to provide reliable, responsive and dedicated in-field service and support, as well as to create a hassle-free experience for the grower and their advisor when implementing advanced technology solutions. They will also provide training so growers and advisors have a better understanding of how to use the technology in a way that best meets their farming needs.

Being a part of the Vantage distribution network will include a requirement to provide a premier level of technical expertise, customer service and support capabilities regardless of location. As a result, whether it is individual farmers or large farms with global operations, all Vantage customers will be able to expect a consistent level of technical expertise and service when working with Trimble Vantage partners throughout the world.

“We are excited to launch the Vantage distribution network to better support the increasingly sophisticated technology needs in the agriculture industry worldwide,” said Darryl Matthews, senior vice president and sector head of Trimble. “We expect Vantage Balknas to become the local ‘professional services’ expert who assist growers and their advisors with making precision technology work seamlessly across increasingly complex farming operations. The end result for the grower is maximized productivity and efficiency.”

Its experienced precision agriculture professionals will advise growers in Romania on the right technology solutions for their farm along with providing high-quality local customer service, personalized training, and technical support that will further develop farmers’ technological understanding and aptitude.

The Vantage team understands how to address farmers’ biggest challenges using the total farm solutions that are available through Trimble including:
