Case Study: Indianapolis MPO gains automated grants management and real-time budgetary control with PyanGo

Indianapolis Mpo Automates Federal and State Grants Management and Budget Control With Pyango

Indianapolis MPO, the metropolitan planning organization for central Indiana, needed to stand up its own financial system after separating from a larger organization. Although they implemented NetSuite for core ERP, the MPO required advanced grant tracking, local‑match accounting and real‑time budget controls, so they engaged PyanGo and its grant management module (including Automated Budgetary Control) to fill those gaps.

PyanGo delivered a NetSuite‑native grant management solution that provides real‑time, grant‑level reporting and enforces encumbrance and budget limits. The MPO can now see exactly how much is on each grant, what’s spent, encumbered and remaining, avoid over‑spending via PyanGo’s Automated Budgetary Control, reduce report prep from days to instant access (saving roughly 5–10 hours/week), and consolidate finance operations—enabling them to replace a CFO role and absorb work formerly done by a three‑person team.
