Please note: This content predates our rebrand. « ProjectTracker » and « EcoInteractive » are now « SOVRA Plan-to-Program » and « SOVRA. »

In this video, Mark Chavez of EcoInteractive and Michael Klemens of Lake County DOT discuss the implementation of Project Tracker by Lake County DOT. They delve into the challenges faced with their previous custom software and how Project Tracker has improved their capital programming and transparency. Michael highlights the benefits of the platform, including enhanced reporting features and streamlined project management.

• Lake County transitioned from a fragile, one-person, custom-built legacy system to EcoInteractive’s ProjectTracker to handle a vastly larger and more complex capital program, improving stability, reliability, and public transparency.
• ProjectTracker’s versioning, mapping, and centralized document hub have significantly streamlined Lake County’s capital programming and bid-letting workflows, saving weeks of staff time and enabling faster, more reliable reporting to leadership and the public.
• By integrating capital programming with transparent public-facing tools and planning future links to financial systems, Lake County is turning ProjectTracker into a single source of truth for programmed funds, appropriations, expenditures, and project documentation.
