Developers
PTx collaborates with independent developers to provide comprehensive, brand-agnostic digital and cloud solutions to farmers around the world.
Agriculture is constantly changing.
Farmers are always looking for new solutions to coordinate in-field activities, manage information from numerous sources and make data-driven decisions that positively impact productivity and profitability.
By partnering with PTx, developers can deliver innovative tools and resources through our existing technology and dealer network.
- Design mobile apps that can be used on PTx Trimble's Android™ displays
- Integrate precision farming data to and from our cloud solutions
- Build extensions that integrate with PTx Trimble's Precision-IQ™ field application for expanded functionality
“This collaboration gives our customers easier access to their operational data for enhanced productivity, mobility and decision making. Development with platforms like PTx FarmENGAGE gives growers a single location from which to monitor their operation.”

- App Central
- API
- Precision-IQ Extensions
App Central
App Central gives agriculture manufacturers, dealers and other developers the opportunity to submit mobile apps for use on PTx Android-based displays. Farmers then use the App Central icon on their display to browse and access apps that are most relevant for their farming operation, language and regional compliance requirements.
App Central provides a safe environment to distribute apps that have been tested and approved by PTx Trimble, ensuring there is no interference with core precision farming applications and operations.
APIs
PTx software solutions combine precision farming technology and data management in a single place – giving the grower a total farm management tool to support their operational workflows.
As a development partner, you can engage with PTx's Application Program Interfaces (APIs) to send data files between independent applications and PTx software and in-field displays, including prescription files, as-applied maps, boundaries and other precision farming information.
Precision-IQ Extensions
Do you have an idea for an app that would enhance farmers’ experience in the field? Have you ever wished you could add extra functionality to a PTx Trimble display? Now is your chance!
Precision-IQ Extensions provide independent business partners with the opportunity to bring unique, supplemental capabilities to the PTx Trimble Android-based display family. Different from simply adding an app to App Central, Precision-IQ Extensions add custom functionality to Precision-IQ, our proprietary precision ag operating system – allowing farmers to use your app from the run screen in conjunction with other functionality, such as guidance and steering or flow and application control.
