Case Study: Trimble saves 1,000 hours of developer time a day with GitHub Copilot

Trimble saves 1,000 hours a day with GitHub Copilot

Trimble, a hardware and software solution provider, faced growing inefficiencies in its engineering team. The challenge involved repetitive tasks, fragmented knowledge, and constant context-switching that hindered momentum and slowed value delivery. To address this, Trimble partnered with vendor GitHub to implement its AI-powered tool, GitHub Copilot.

The solution involved a strategic rollout of GitHub Copilot, including pilot programs and training on prompt engineering. This integration streamlined developer workflows by automating repetitive tasks and reducing cognitive burden. The results were dramatic: Trimble saves an estimated 1,000 hours of developer time per day, and 90% of its developers now use the tool. GitHub's solution enabled developers to build five web components per day instead of one per week, significantly accelerating development and boosting productivity.
