At a glance: Control Point Corrections, powered by Point One Navigation provides Benchmark Tool and Supply’s customers in the construction, surveying, and engineering industries with centimeter-level positioning accuracy.
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., August 21, 2025 — Point One Navigation, a leader in high-accuracy location services, and Benchmark Tool & Supply, a premier distributor of professional products for the construction, surveying, and engineering industries, today announced a strategic partnership. This collaboration will see Point One Navigation power Benchmark’s new Control Point Corrections service, providing Benchmark’s customers with access to reliable, centimeter-level positioning accuracy wherever they are located.
Control Point Corrections provides customers with crucial precision in any application. Whereas modern GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) technology often falls short of the precision required for critical tasks like surveying and machine control, Control Point Corrections allows for location data that’s one hundred times more accurate. The integration of Point One’s state-of-the-art Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) correction technology into Benchmark’s new offering will significantly enhance the accuracy of their customers’ workflows, enabling precise mapping and measurement for even the most demanding applications.
Benchmark Tool & Supply has built a reputation over two decades as a trusted partner and “Construction Technology Expert,” providing not just high-quality equipment but also the training and support needed to ensure their customers succeed. By incorporating Point One’s robust RTK corrections network, Benchmark is furthering its mission to equip professionals with the most advanced, reliable, and user-friendly tools on the market. This partnership ensures that customers, from small businesses to large enterprises, can achieve unprecedented precision with a solution backed by Benchmark’s renowned expertise.
