Case Study: El Campo, Texas modernizes budgeting and saves 70+ hours with ClearGov

El Campo, Texas - Customer Case Study

El Campo, Texas needed to modernize a budgeting process that was heavily dependent on Excel, manual reconciliation, and error-prone quarterly reporting. The city also wanted a better way to create its award-winning budget book and improve how capital projects and financial information were shared with council members and citizens. ClearGov’s Transparency, Operational Budgeting, and Digital Budget Book solutions were brought in to help streamline the process.

With ClearGov, department heads now enter budget data directly into the system, enabling real-time collaboration and eliminating back-and-forth emails, multiple spreadsheets, and manual consolidation. ClearGov also automated quarterly council reports and turned capital requests into public project pages, making information easier to understand and more visible to citizens. The city cut more than 70 hours from its annual budgeting process and significantly reduced errors and rework.
