Automate Viewpoint Vista
Integration & Workflows
Automate Viewpoint Vista integration with Procore, field apps, and time tracking systems. We specialize in Vista's file-based import requirements, eliminating manual data entry between field operations and back-office accounting.
The Power of Integration
Real results from businesses that automated their Viewpoint Vista workflows
Eliminated manual data entry from field to office
Field data flows to Vista within hours
Automated validation catches errors before import
Reduced AP processing and payroll costs
The Manual Integration Challenge
Common problems businesses face without automated Viewpoint Vista integration
The "File Drop" Reality
Vista integrations often require specific CSV formats dropped into pickup directories. Getting the format exactly right is tedious and error-prone.
Field-to-Office Disconnect
Your field teams use Procore, PlanGrid, or mobile apps. That data has to be manually re-entered into Vista for job costing and payroll.
Unapproved Invoice Bottleneck
AP clerks spend hours in the Unapproved Invoices screen, manually keying subcontractor invoices one by one.
Payroll Data Entry
Timecards from the field need to be entered into Vista payroll with correct job, cost code, and phase mapping. Manual entry creates errors.
Complex Import Requirements
Vista imports require specific field orders, date formats, and validation rules. One wrong column and the entire batch fails.
Limited API Options
Even Viewpoint Cloud has integration limitations. Many workflows still require file-based imports or manual screen entry.

Success Stories
Real businesses that automated their Viewpoint Vista integrations
Heavy Civil Contractor: Procore to Vista Integration
A $75M heavy civil contractor was spending 30+ hours weekly re-entering field data into Vista. Daily logs, time entries, and equipment hours all required manual data entry. We automated the flow from Procore to Vista, eliminating double entry for job costing and payroll. Project managers now have same-day cost visibility instead of waiting for weekly updates.
30 hours/week eliminated
Same-day job cost updates
95% payroll automation
$60K annual savings
Mechanical Contractor: AP Invoice Automation
A mechanical contractor processing 500+ invoices monthly was drowning in AP data entry. Each invoice required manual entry into Vista's Unapproved Invoices screen. We implemented AI-powered invoice capture with PO matching and automated Vista import. AP processing time dropped by 70%.
70% faster AP processing
500+ invoices/month automated
99% GL code accuracy
2 FTE capacity freed
What our clients say
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Viewpoint Vista integration
How do you integrate with Viewpoint Vista without direct API access?
Vista supports file-based imports for most modules (AP, AR, Payroll, Job Cost). We build automated pipelines that pull data from source systems, transform it into Vista's exact import format, validate for errors, and drop files into monitored directories. Vista's import routines then process the data automatically.
Can you connect Procore to Viewpoint Vista?
Yes, this is one of our specialty integrations. We pull data from Procore's API (time entries, daily logs, change orders, commitments) and transform it into Vista import format. The result is automated job costing, payroll data entry, and commitment tracking without the double data entry.
Does this work with Vista hosted in Viewpoint Cloud?
Absolutely. Whether your Vista instance is on-premise, hosted by Viewpoint, or in a private cloud, we can integrate. For cloud-hosted environments, we work with Viewpoint's file transfer protocols or Trimble Construction One connectors where available.
How do you handle Vista's complex import validation requirements?
We build validation logic that matches Vista's requirementsโchecking for valid job numbers, cost codes, vendors, and GL accounts before files are created. Invalid records are flagged for review rather than causing entire batch failures. You get clean imports and clear error reports.
What about the Unapproved Invoices workflow in Vista?
We can automate invoice entry into the Unapproved Invoices screen through file import or, where needed, RPA automation. Invoices are captured via AI, matched against POs and commitments, and routed for approval before entering Vista. Your AP team reviews exceptions instead of keying every invoice.
Can you integrate Vista with our existing time tracking system?
Yes. We integrate with ExakTime, Busybusy, B2W, and other construction time tracking systems. We map time entries to Vista's payroll format including job, cost code, phase, earnings code, and union classification. The result is automated timecard import ready for payroll processing.
How long does Vista integration implementation take?
Timeline depends on scope. A focused AP automation project might take 4-5 weeks. A comprehensive Procore-to-Vista integration covering time, cost, and commitments typically takes 6-8 weeks. We provide detailed timelines after mapping your specific requirements.
What happens when imports fail?
Our pipelines include comprehensive error handling. Files are validated before submission to Vista. If Vista rejects records, we capture the error details, notify the right people, and provide clear guidance on what needs to be fixed. You never lose data to silent failures.
