Trimble is a global construction technology leader. Its e-Builder platform helps large project owners manage construction programs.

Trimble asked AccelOne to bring that same power to mobile, so field teams could get the same visibility as people at a desk.

A mobile extension of e-Builder, built for real-time visibility and lasting performance.

The Problem

Construction teams work from different places: job sites, offices, trucks. Without a shared mobile tool, information gets scattered across emails and spreadsheets. That leads to slow decisions, missed budget issues, and unclear accountability.

Trimble needed a real mobile version of e-Builder, not a stripped-down view, so every stakeholder could update and check project data from anywhere.

Search and tagging had become a serious bottleneck

With millions of videos, search and tagging had become a serious bottleneck.

Key Challenges:

01

Exact design requirements

Off-the-shelf tools didn't match Trimble's specs, so AccelOne built custom components instead.

02

A custom PDF editor

No existing library handled PDFs the way the app needed, so the team built one from scratch.

03

Migrating a live app

Moving to MAUI meant rebuilding parts of the app without breaking anything that was already working.

Key Impact: Cost Reduction by Three Orders of Magnitude

One of the most significant achievements of this engagement was the reduction of AI processing costs by three orders of magnitude.

By combining on-premises transcription models with selective use of commercial APIs, AccelOne designed a hybrid architecture that:

Results & Impact

100% visibility

Every stakeholder sees the same real-time project data.

Up to 4% cost savings

Earlier budget visibility means fewer surprises.

Lower project risk

Better information means fewer delays and errors.

Higher productivity

Less time lost to scattered communication.

Open-source intelligence, cloud applied selectively

The pipeline combines open-source models with selective cloud services, running primarily on on-prem GPU infrastructure to deliver production-grade accuracy while avoiding cost, lock-in, and unpredictability.

Expanding the Partnership

As the early AI and UI initiatives gained traction, the collaboration expanded. AccelOne is now contributing not only to delivery, but to roadmap planning across AI, machine learning, and user experience initiatives.

Austin describes the ongoing dialogue as productive and forward-looking:

"As we work through these initial projects, having the teams weigh in on what the roadmap should look like next has been very productive. We've gained a great set of partners and feedback voices inside of AccelOne."

The partnership now operates at two levels:

  1. Accelerating current initiatives
  2. Accelerating current initiatives

For a platform operating at this level of complexity, that alignment matters.

A Model Built on Leverage and Trust

Monetate's goal was simple: Accelerate AI and UI initiatives without slowing the organization down.

What ultimately emerged was a partnership that increased leverage across the entire business.

Senior engineers were embedded quickly. Roadmaps moved faster. AI became part of daily workflows. Collaboration tightened across teams and time zones.

The engagement reduced friction and increased output.

And the relationship continues to expand, with AccelOne contributing to long-term direction beyond the initial delivery.

At this level of complexity, sustainable acceleration is not about adding more people. It's about embedding partners who raise the standard of how the work gets done.

How AccelOne Delivered It

The team worked in Kanban, with clear visibility into progress and regular check-ins to improve the process. For the migration, they carefully rebuilt the app piece by piece and tested everything on both platforms before launch, so the live product kept working the whole time.

The Bottom Line

AccelOne gave Trimble a real mobile version of e-Builder, not a watered-down one, and used a required framework migration as a chance to build a faster, more future-proof app. The result: better visibility, lower costs, and a stronger product for Trimble's construction customers.

A Major Technical Shift: Xamarin to .NET MAUI

The app was first built in Xamarin. Microsoft stopped supporting Xamarin in 2024, so AccelOne migrated it to .NET MAUI, a newer, faster framework from the same company.

This move gave Trimble one shared codebase for iOS and Android, better performance, and a platform that will keep getting long-term support.

Frequently asked questions

What does Project Site do?
It's a mobile app that brings Trimble's e-Builder platform to the field: real-time updates, document sharing, scheduling, budgets, and field reports, all in one place.
Why did AccelOne move it from Xamarin to .NET MAUI?
Microsoft stopped supporting Xamarin in 2024. MAUI is the newer, supported framework, and it let AccelOne use one codebase for both iOS and Android instead of two.
What results did the app deliver?
100% project visibility, up to 4% cost savings, lower project risk, and higher team productivity.
Why build a custom PDF editor instead of buying one?
PDFs are core to construction paperwork like contracts and inspection reports. No existing tool matched Trimble's exact requirements, so AccelOne built one that did.
