Looq AI platform now compatible with Trimble Business Center

Looq AI, a pioneer in ground-based reality capture, has announced that its AI-powered photogrammetric data capture platform is now compatible with Trimble Business Center (TBC) software.

This integration allows engineering professionals to efficiently extract and utilise high-accuracy Looq Platform data within Trimble’s desktop workflows for survey and engineering projects, without requiring custom conversions or manual preparation.

The Looq Platform produces survey-grade, georeferenced, ground-classified point clouds and orthomosaic images that are ready for direct use in TBC. This seamless workflow supports a wide range of topographic and design tasks, helping project teams deliver faster and more accurate results while staying aligned with trusted tools.

This milestone follows a year of innovation at Looq AI. The platform streamlines infrastructure digitisation through a scalable ground-based capture process. By combining handheld photogrammetry with advanced 3D computer vision algorithms, Looq delivers high-resolution spatial data and reliable processing for projects of all sizes. Recent advancements, including improved GNSS precision, underground asset capture, standard export formats, and alignment with open standards, have strengthened Looq’s capability to meet the needs of professional surveyors and engineers.

Trimble supports greater compatibility with emerging technologies to foster open, technology-agnostic ecosystems. “We’re pleased to see Looq’s platform is now compatible with Trimble Business Center,” said Gareth Gibson, Strategic Marketing Director, Mapping & GIS and Utilities at Trimble. “This kind of integration supports our goal of transforming the way the world works by enabling users to more seamlessly incorporate high-accuracy, ground-based data into their existing workflows. It’s another step toward driving industry innovation and helping customers achieve better business outcomes.”

AJ Surveying, a San Diego-based utility corridor mapping firm, has already benefited from the Looq–Trimble integration. On undergrounding projects in wildfire-prone regions, the company used the Looq Platform to collect topographic data in drone-restricted and challenging environments, cutting turnaround times by 60% and survey costs by 43%. “With Looq and Trimble Business Center, we’ve transformed the way we collect and deliver data on critical infrastructure projects,” said Amanda Jones, PLS, Owner of AJ Surveying Inc.

Canadian engineering firm McElhanney has also adopted Looq to enhance mapping and topographic surveys. “Looq has helped us bring new levels of efficiency and adaptability to our field workflows,” said Ben Giesbrecht, Project Manager. “The ability to capture and deliver high-accuracy data directly into Trimble Business Center keeps our teams productive and enables seamless collaboration with clients and partners.”

“Our mission at Looq is to empower surveyors and engineers with tools that deliver uncompromising accuracy and unmatched efficiency,” said Dominique Meyer, CEO of Looq AI. “By ensuring our platform is fully compatible with Trimble Business Center, we’re joining a growing ecosystem of innovative solutions designed to help professionals meet today’s infrastructure demands with confidence.”
