Case Study: Oregon Department of Transportation saves thousands of hours with Gavel

ODOT saving thousands of hours on statements of work

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) faced a time-consuming and inconsistent process for drafting complex Statements of Work (SOWs) for its architecture and engineering contracts. The manual process, which lacked standardization, could take up to nine months to complete a single SOW. To address this challenge, ODOT turned to Gavel to automate its SOW workflows.

By implementing Gavel's no-code automation platform, ODOT enabled its staff to generate extensive documents in seconds by simply answering guided questions. The solution automated over 400 pages of definitions, references, and conditional logic, drastically reducing drafting time. Gavel’s solution cut the SOW creation time by 90%, saving the department thousands of hours annually on the roughly 200 SOWs it drafts each month.
