Problem at scale

The bureau relied heavily on Excel spreadsheets and paper documentation to manage its capital program. Extensive back-and-forth during contracting and construction stages led to manual data entry and frequent errors. Fragmented and outdated information hindered decision-making due to the lack of accurate analytical insights.

The bureau needed a solution that could:

  • Manage water utility projects, budgets, and resources efficiently
  • Ensure adherence to compliance standards
  • Simplify contract and change event management
  • Monitor project health with advanced analytics and reliable reports
  • Improve internal and external communication and team collaboration

Aurigo's approach

Aurigo Masterworks replaced manual methods and spreadsheets with process automation, providing a centralized and secure platform to plan, track, and manage construction projects including budgets, schedules, contracts, and compliance processes.

The solution delivered:

  • Resource tracking across multiple construction projects to ensure proper utilization
  • Automated workflows for consistent program delivery
  • Real-time reports and dashboards for project health monitoring
  • Integration with Power BI for advanced analytics and automatic risk alerting

Business processes automated: budget management, construction project management, contract management, change management, what-if analysis, and real-time reporting.
