Case Study: Village of Woodridge achieves automated budget planning and award-winning transparency with ClearGov

Village of Woodridge saves a week of document prep with ClearGov

The Village of Woodridge, a suburban municipality in Illinois, faced challenges with its manual and disconnected budgeting processes. Using a combination of their ERP system, Excel, Word, and paper, the village struggled with inefficiencies, inconsistencies, and a heavy administrative burden across departments. To modernize its operations, Woodridge partnered with ClearGov to implement its budgeting and transparency solutions.

ClearGov implemented its Operational Budgeting, Personnel Budgeting, Capital Budgeting, and Digital Budget Book solutions in a phased rollout. This provided Woodridge with automated scenario planning, real-time budget reviews, and a streamlined digital budget book. The results were significant, including saving over a week in document preparation time, improved departmental collaboration, and winning a GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its first ClearGov-built budget book.
