Summary:

Violet Township’s small road department relied on handwritten notes, spreadsheets, and memory, making it difficult to track work history, costs, and productivity across 114 lane miles of roads. With growing workloads and reporting demands, the lack of centralized data hindered budgeting, planning, and communication with Township Trustees. After implementing NovoGov, field staff began capturing labor, materials, and equipment usage in real time through a simple, tablet-based system. The department now has complete work histories, clear reporting for budgeting, and improved coordination, supported by affordable pricing and responsive onboarding support. Violet Township manages its 114 lane miles on NovoGov public works software, using its road maintenance system and work order software to track labor, materials, and equipment by road segment.
