Case Study: City of Arlington achieves improved transparency and streamlined capital project management with Trimble e-Builder

The City of Arlington Improving customer and stakeholder transparency

The City of Arlington, Texas — home to major venues and a population of roughly 370,000 — manages about $50 million in annual construction spending and roughly 200 active projects a year across Public Works, Water Utilities and Parks. The city faced an outdated mainframe, siloed departmental processes, duplicated manual data entry and no integration with its Lawson financial system or GIS, limiting visibility into multi-source funding and hampering reporting, approvals and transparency.

Arlington implemented e-Builder enterprise-wide, migrating 600+ projects and integrating with Lawson and GIS to create a single system for budgets, schedules, documents and workflows. The result: real-time budget and project data, automated approvals and inspections, standardized processes across departments, faster reporting and stronger audit trails — improving efficiency, reducing errors and increasing customer and stakeholder transparency.
