Case Study: Chatham County halves budget document creation time with ClearGov

Chatham County cuts budget document creation time by 50% with ClearGov

Chatham County, North Carolina, a fast-growing county, faced challenges with outdated and manual budgeting processes. Their capital budgeting relied on a 30-year-old Microsoft Access database, and creating their budget book involved stitching together up to 30 separate Excel spreadsheets into PDFs. These cumbersome processes were time-consuming, inefficient, and limited transparency for staff and residents. To address this, they turned to ClearGov's Capital Budgeting and Digital Budget Book solutions.

By implementing ClearGov's unified digital platform, the county streamlined its workflows. The solution halved budget document creation time from two weeks to just one and provided year-round visibility into capital projects with attachments. The Recite Me add-on boosted accessibility for Spanish-speaking and older residents. ClearGov delivered a transparent, mobile-friendly budget that increased collaboration and empowered department leaders, fundamentally modernizing the county's financial operations.
