## The use case: how Trimble deploys GitHub Copilot

Trimble's engineering organization uses GitHub Copilot as an AI pair programmer in daily development to cut repetitive work such as boilerplate fixes and reduce context-switching. It was rolled out through pilots, prompt engineering training, and a focus on compliance and security.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of GitHub Copilot and Trimble, not ours.

> Adopting GitHub Copilot meant that developers at Trimble no longer had to spend time on repetitive tasks like fixing boilerplate, error-prone code, which significantly increased productivity.

- **30 minutes**: “On average, each developer saves 30 minutes daily, leading to time savings that scale rapidly across the organization.”
- **five per day**: “Instead of producing just one web component per week, they now build five per day.”

> We want to help developers reach that flow state. Copilot helps reduce the cognitive burden. If a developer is trying to remember how to do something and then the answer is right at their fingertips, that’s fantastic.
>
> Jeff Doolittle, Distinguished Engineer and Principal Architect
