Built by a public works professional

The entire lifecycle of a capital improvement program, in one platform.

Interlock isn’t a project tracker. It’s the whole CIP lifecycle — long-range planning, list development, project management, accounting, public transparency, and asset management — centralized so your agency enters information once and never re-keys it again.

The Problem
Capital program management shouldn’t mean
spreadsheet chaos
Most public agencies manage millions in capital projects using disconnected spreadsheets, shared drives, and manual processes. Critical data gets lost, reporting takes days, and stakeholder transparency suffers.

Duplicate Data Entry

The same project is re-keyed into a planning sheet, a budget workbook, an invoice log, and a public update. Staff time disappears — and every copy can disagree.

Reporting Takes Days

Board presentations, grant submittals, and audit packets require hours of manual data compilation that could be generated instantly.

No Public Visibility

Stakeholders have no way to see where their dollars are going. Building a public-facing project page takes months and separate tools.

Why Interlock
Not a tracker. The entire
capital program lifecycle.
Interlock covers every stage of a capital improvement program in one centralized platform. The purpose is maximum efficiency through centralization — enter information once, and every downstream stage, report, and public view draws from it automatically.

No duplicate effort

A project entered for planning carries through development, management, accounting, and the public portal. Nothing is re-keyed, and nothing falls out of sync.

Zero added staff time

Transparency runs itself

The public portal is configured once, scoped by the agency, to pull live project data. Keeping the public informed costs no ongoing staff time.

One platform

No fragmentation

Planning, project management, accounting, public engagement, and asset management share a single source of truth — not a dozen disconnected tools.

City infrastructure

“Built by a public works professional — for the way agencies actually run a capital program.”

The Platform
Five pillars. One capital
improvement program.
Everything a capital program needs, housed in one place — so there is no fragmentation and no duplicate effort.
Pillar · Accounting

Grant-to-audit accounting, built for public agencies

Track every dollar from grant award to audit — multi-source funding splits, retention, and reimbursement workflows that public-agency capital accounting actually requires.

  • Grant tracking, submittal & receivables
  • Invoice management with retention
  • Fund-balance tracking
  • Expenditure tracking by source
  • Vendor management
  • State, local & federal audit-compliance reports

Pillar · Project Management

Every aspect of a project, centrally managed

Scheduling, phase changes, records, tasks, documents, and collaboration — the entire working life of a project in one place, with an audit trail on every change.

  • Scheduling & phase changes
  • Reminders, tasks & assignment
  • Record keeping & document library
  • Status reports & bulk updates
  • Internal & external collaboration
  • Bid & RFP posting and tracking
  • Public notices
  • Staff time tracker

Pillar · Planning & List Development

Long-range planning through appropriated lists

Build capital roadmaps, model funding strategy, prioritize and evaluate projects, then develop the appropriated project list — with mid-year, mid-cycle, and new-cycle evaluations and a clean fiscal-year rollover.

  • Long-range capital roadmaps
  • Funding-strategy tools & prioritization
  • Risk assessments & cost estimators
  • Strategic document libraries & workspaces
  • Executive report generator
  • Finance-vs-wait calculators
  • Mid-year, mid-cycle & new-cycle evaluations
  • Automated project-sheet generation
  • Voting-body report & PowerPoint builder
  • Funding-source / eligibility matrix
  • Fiscal-year rollover

Pillar · Public Transparency

A public portal that runs without staff time

Configured once and scoped by the agency, the public-facing interface pulls live project data automatically — project map, status, expenditures, and progress, with no ongoing staff effort.

  • Project map & project information
  • Status reports, expenditures & progress
  • Build-Your-Own-CIP feature
  • Vote on projects & submit ideas
  • CIP 101 & educational content
  • Contact-staff section
  • Portal analytics

Pillar · Asset Management

From new project to long-term asset

When a project becomes infrastructure, Interlock keeps managing it — inventory, condition, deferred maintenance, and replacement planning, so the capital program and the asset base stay connected.

  • Asset inventory & tracking
  • Deferred-maintenance calculators
  • Asset reports
  • Replacement schedules & tracking
  • Fleet maintenance module
  • Pavement condition index tracker
  • Infrastructure report cards

FAQ
Common questions
Is Interlock just a project tracker?
No. Interlock covers the entire capital improvement program lifecycle — long-range planning, list development, project management, accounting, public transparency, and asset management — in one centralized platform. Information is entered once and flows through every stage, so there is no fragmentation and no duplicate effort.
What kind of agencies is this built for?
Interlock is built for any public agency that manages capital projects: cities, counties, school districts, universities, special districts, and public authorities. The platform is fully customizable to match your agency’s terminology, workflows, and reporting requirements.
Can the platform be customized for our agency type?
Yes. Categories, project phases, funding source types, useful lives, and reporting formats are all configurable. A university can track campus buildings and research labs just as easily as a city tracks streets and bridges. Enterprise customers get dedicated configuration support.
How long does setup take?
Most agencies are up and running within 30 minutes. The onboarding wizard walks you through agency setup, and you can start adding projects immediately.
Is our data secure?
Yes. Data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). Each agency’s data is isolated using row-level security policies. All data is stored on US-based servers.
Can we import existing project data?
Yes. You can manually enter projects or contact our team for bulk import assistance from spreadsheets or existing systems.
Do we need to install anything?
No. Interlock is entirely web-based. It works in any modern browser with no downloads, plugins, or IT infrastructure required.
Can the public see our financial details?
Only what you choose to publish. Internal invoices, grant details, and staff data are never exposed unless you explicitly publish them.
