System Audit & Health Check
We examine every aspect of your Vista configuration, database health, and workflow design. You get a detailed report with prioritized recommendations and expected ROI for each.
Vista ERP Consulting
Most Vista by Viewpoint environments have manual workflows that the system could handle automatically — custom reports, SQL notifiers, portals, and integrations that generalist partners refer out. We build those. Our AI-accelerated delivery ships work in days, not weeks — senior-led, billed hourly or fixed-price.
Sound Familiar?
Problems most Vista clients just live with
Most construction companies accept these issues as “just how Vista works.” They’re not. They’re signs of a system that hasn’t been extended with the automation, reporting, or integrations Vista is actually capable of.
Manual timesheet entry: 40 hours/month × $65/hr = $2,600/month wasted per site
Stale project cost reports costing you 2–4 weeks of decision-making lag
Spreadsheet workarounds for AP and change orders: $3K–$5K/month in hidden labour
Slow month-end close eating 8–12 days when it should take 3
Incomplete job costing data making project forecasts unreliable — and expensive
New hires taking 3–6 months to get productive because no one trained them on YOUR Vista
What we deliver
Comprehensive Vista consulting that covers every layer of your ERP, from database performance to user training.
Workflow Optimization
We redesign your Vista workflows to eliminate bottlenecks, reduce manual steps, and ensure data flows cleanly through your entire operation. From AP invoice processing to change order management.
Data Migration & Cleanup
Whether you're migrating to Vista or cleaning up years of accumulated data issues in cost codes, vendor records, or job history, we ensure your data is accurate and structured for reporting.
Performance Tuning
Slow queries during month-end, bloated databases, and inefficient stored procedures. We diagnose and fix the performance issues that make your team dread running WIP reports.
Security & Compliance
User role auditing, access control optimization, and compliance reporting configuration. Ensure your Vista setup meets industry and regulatory requirements for government and commercial projects.
Training & Adoption
Custom training programs designed around your specific configuration. We don't teach generic Vista — we teach YOUR Vista, so your project managers and field teams use it correctly from day one.
Why our Vista consulting is different
We write code, not just reports
Most ERP consultants identify problems and hand you a document. We identify problems and fix them. If your system needs a custom stored procedure for WIP calculations, a data migration script, or a new integration — we build it.
Database-level expertise
We work directly with the SQL Server databases that power Vista. This means we can diagnose issues that surface-level consultants never see — slow queries on cost history tables, missing indexes on AP transactions, data integrity problems, and storage bloat.
15+ years with Viewpoint specifically
We know Vista's schema intimately. We know which tables drive your job costing, how subcontractor data flows, and where the common data quality issues hide. This is specialized Viewpoint expertise, not generic ERP consulting.

Frequently asked questions
What is Vista by Viewpoint consulting?
Vista by Viewpoint consulting is specialist ERP advisory and development for construction companies running Trimble's Vista platform. It covers system audits, workflow optimization, custom SQL development, report building, integrations, and training — all specific to Vista's schema and business logic. MRU Consulting has 15+ years of hands-on Vista experience.
How is MRU different from other Vista consultants?
Most Vista consultancies send a senior partner to win the deal, then hand the work to juniors. At MRU, the same person who scopes the work builds the solution — with 25+ years of hands-on ERP development experience. We also write code (SQL, Crystal Reports, custom portals), not just recommendations. AI-accelerated delivery ships work in days, not weeks.
What does a typical Vista automation engagement look like?
It starts with a free 30-minute scoping call where we discuss your current Vista setup and pain points. We then quote the work hourly or fixed-price — your choice. Typical quick wins (reports, notifiers, SQL fixes) ship in 2-5 days. Larger automation projects run 4-12 weeks. Shadforth Civil Engineering cut timesheet processing by 80% through a Vista automation engagement with MRU.
Do you do Vista implementation or only consulting?
We focus on post-implementation optimization, automation, and custom development — not greenfield Vista implementations. If you already run Vista by Viewpoint and want to get more out of it (faster reports, automated AP, custom portals, integrations), that's exactly what we do. Free scoping call, no obligation.
