About

Viewpoint is a leading provider of integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) and construction management software designed specifically for contractors and construction companies across commercial, heavy civil, and specialty trade sectors. Founded in 1976 in Portland, Oregon, and acquired by Trimble in 2018, Viewpoint employs over 1,000 people and serves thousands of construction firms worldwide. The company's flagship Vista platform provides comprehensive financial management, project management, human resources, and operational capabilities tailored to construction workflows and accounting requirements. Viewpoint's construction-specific features include certified payroll, union reporting, equipment cost tracking, subcontractor management, and WIP (work in progress) reporting that differ significantly from generic business software. The platform's project management capabilities track budgets, change orders, commitments, and cost-to-complete projections, providing real-time visibility into project profitability. Spectrum, another core product, serves mid-sized contractors with integrated accounting, project management, and operational tools. ProContractor offers smaller contractors cloud-based solutions for estimating, project management, and field management. Viewpoint's field management applications connect office systems with job sites, enabling real-time time tracking, daily reports, safety documentation, and quality management from mobile devices. The platform's estimating and bidding tools help contractors calculate costs, develop proposals, and win work profitably. Viewpoint's analytics and business intelligence capabilities provide executives with dashboards and reports on company performance, project health, and resource utilization. The platform integrates with Trimble's ecosystem of construction technology including surveying, building information modeling, and machine control. With deep construction industry expertise, comprehensive functionality, and continuous innovation, Viewpoint provides the operational backbone for construction companies ranging from $10 million to multi-billion dollar enterprises.
