Case Study: City of Farmersville, Texas achieves 50% faster budget development and improved transparency with OpenGov

How Farmersville, Texas streamlined budgeting and performance with OpenGov

Farmersville, Texas — a growing city of about 3,400 with a $12M annual budget — struggled with a slow, error-prone budget process that made it hard to correct mistakes, produce timely reports for the council, and maintain financial transparency. Manual Excel-based workflows required extensive staff time and printed budget books, and the city sought a better way to present clear, consistent financial information to constituents.

By implementing OpenGov Budgeting and Performance, Farmersville cut budget development time by at least 50%, moved the budget book online, and made corrections and data updates simple; reports now update automatically each day. The change freed staff for higher-value work, integrated non-financial data for better decision-making, improved visibility for the city council, and restored consistent, transparent financial reporting.
