Viewpoint Vista
Accounting
Trimble's enterprise resource planning system for construction contractors, part of the larger Trimble Construction One suite and aimed at bigger companies than a standalone accounting tool like QuickBooks.
What it does
Vista handles real-time job costing with work-in-progress reporting down to the individual invoice, integrated payroll that manages multi-state and multi-locality compliance, and deep customization through custom fields, forms, and workflows built around how a specific company actually operates. Direct database access lets a company build custom dashboards and reports in tools like Power BI rather than relying only on the system's own built-in reporting.
Key features
- Real-time job costing with work-in-progress reporting down to the invoice level
- Integrated payroll handling multi-state and multi-locality compliance
- Deep customization through custom fields, forms, and workflows
- Direct database access for custom reporting and dashboards through tools like Power BI
How it's actually used
- An operations manager at a large contractor pulls a live work-in-progress report across every active job instead of waiting for a month-end close
- A construction accountant configures a custom approval workflow for change orders that matches the company's own internal process
