Case Study: HCA Healthcare achieves $3.4M in savings and 30-40% faster payment processing with Trimble e-Builder Enterprise

HCA Healthcare Centralized Capital Project Management Leads to Impressive Savings

HCA Healthcare, a Nashville-based leader with more than 186 facilities across the U.S. and the U.K., manages a capital program exceeding $1 billion and runs over 100 projects annually. The organization faced stretched resources—a 50-person team handling all project paperwork—poor visibility into change orders, time-consuming manual distribution of documents, and sprawling paper filing across dozens of cabinets.

HCA implemented the cloud-based e-Builder Enterprise with phased training, standardized data capture, and forecasting tools to streamline workflows and centralize documents. The change delivered measurable results: nearly 5% savings (about $3.4M), 30–40% faster payment processing, improved collaboration and visibility, and the ability to reinvest savings into the capital program, charitable work, and staff development.
