“The greatest value I see with PubWorks is the accountability that the department brings to the County and the ability to easily and effectively manage all our assets.”
"Pulling together all the requested information was a huge headache. But there wasn’t anything that he asked for that we couldn’t run out of PubWorks. And if there was something I couldn’t figure out, by the end of the afternoon PubWorks was able to create it for me."
“When we were looking for software, no one understood government and payroll with the different Labor Types, like PubWorks. It is software for government operations like ours. Nothing else out there is geared for public works like PubWorks.”
“We selected PubWorks because it is easy to use, they understand our business needs, and PubWorks is cost effective.”
“You know ahead of time what you’re going to need, so you’re not running back and forth to the shop for materials and equipment, You can look back and see what was done last year on a similar job or the same job.”
"Your company and staff are an asset to me and Washakie County as a whole. We rely heavily on your program for hours tracking, budget projections and equipment maintenance. Your program is definitely wort"h its value to us in Washakie County. I look forward to the future with you and PubWorks.
"Working with PubWorks during the design and implementation stages of the PubWorks project has been great. They have an extremely qualified team of professionals who not only understand the details of precinct operations, but also how to support the software they sell."
“At the end of each day, the crew foreman gives us a job report for his entire crew: what they did, equipment used, materials used, anything like that. So we enter it by the whole crew, not separated by employee. It’s faster that way.”
“You can determine how you’re going to gather information, what you need to quantify.”
"The customer support is great, you can get their help by simply visiting the support feature on the PubWorks desktop, you get a call within an hour and it's someone there to help you. The training was a huge benefit, both to help employees use PubWorks and for computer-illiterate employees in general. Now I get emails from guys who I never got emails from before. Now they know how to use Outlook."
"In 2011 we didn’t have PubWorks and dealing with FEMA was a nightmare. Once we started using PubWorks it became easier to satisfy FEMA requirements with the records we were able to provide. FEMA was happy to use the documentation and reporting that we produced."
“PubWorks broke down each task that was done during the disaster, and then our FEMA reps chose which of those tasks could be reimbursed, Before (PubWorks) that would have been really difficult, if they’d even have been able to do it.”
“During Sandy, we entered all the individuals and equipment we were using, along with the FEMA scheduled rates, Once that was in, each day as they went out to do work in the city, collecting debris or whatever, we’d track the trucks and equipment as it went out. We did that on a daily basis.”
"PubWorks has been a lifesaver for me. When I started my job at Stillwater County we were in the middle of a big flood FEMA event. Our guys had been doing emergency repair work on a lot of county roads. If not for the ease of data entry and the support from PubWorks I don’t know what I would have done. My FEMA liaison was extremely impressed by the reports that are generated at the push of a button."
"Now we are creating histories for when calls come in, and when work orders are fulfilled. This helps us keep track of our employees, as well as flagging frequent problems at the same address. It also helps us with tracking reports, so we can say what it costs to do snow removal, or patch repair, or a particular project such as a bridge replacement."
