Case Study: KCS West achieves real-time cost controls and centralized project management with Trimble ProjectSight

KCS West - Customer Case Study

KCS West, part of Kajima U.S.A. and active mainly in southern California, completed roughly $200M in projects in 2020 and needed a modern, all‑in‑one project management solution that could handle drawing and document control, project cost management and field documentation. Their legacy software struggled with drawing management and forced duplicate data entry, so they sought a customizable platform that could fit their workflows and support broad stakeholder collaboration.

ProjectSight was deployed as a centralized, configurable hub—covering budget tracking, document control, drawings, mobile field checklists and more—and is being integrated with their Viewpoint ERP. The result: real‑time cost and document visibility for managers, superintendents and owners; elimination of triple entry; faster processing of change orders; standardized company‑level processes; and improved communication and decision‑making that strengthened cost controls and client confidence.
