Aurigo Software, the leading provider of capital planning and construction management software for infrastructure and private owners, announced it is expanding key operations at its Austin headquarters. The increase in headcount was driven by the company’s growth in 2022 and projected demand for its cloud-based solutions from equity owners through 2023. Since the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) was passed in November 2021, Aurigo has attracted new customers in the transport, transit, local government and other parts of the public sector.
“Funding from the IIJA is beginning to flow, and public entities are looking for the right long-term partner to support their business process and field technology needs,” said Balaji Sreenivasan, CEO and Founder of Aurigo Software. “For this historic bill to be a success, owners need modern tools to safely and effectively plan, receive feedback and implement their capital programs. We are building the right team of experts here at Aurigo to help our clients make the most of these investments.”
The company has already opened more than a dozen positions on its professional services team responsible for implementing and training customers on the software. Aurigo also plans to add additional customer success and technical support positions as more customers come onboard. The Company is also expanding its sales and marketing team in response to increased interest from capital program executives.
Last year, Aurigo signed the largest deal in the company’s history and is currently in discussions with several state departments of transportation and other key players in the North American public sector. The company’s flagship software platform, Masterworks, is used by large equity owners to digitize the lifecycle of their program, including planning, financing, bidding for the work and managing all aspects of construction. Aurigo also offers best-in-class solutions for right-of-way, permitting, field inspections and materials management, all critical parts of delivering an investment program. The company offers a streamlined version, Aurigo Essentials, for agencies with small to medium-sized programs.
