Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the integration.
How does data flow between Lumber and Vista?
The integration is bi-directional, but structured. Vista sends master data (like employees, jobs, and cost codes) to Lumber, while Lumber sends operational data (like time, payroll, and labor costs) back to Vista for financial processing and reporting.
Which system is the source of truth?
Vista remains the system of record for all financial and project master data. Lumber uses that data for workforce operations, ensuring everything aligns with your accounting structure.
What role does Trimble App Xchange play?
Trimble App Xchange acts as the middleware that connects both systems. It transforms data formats, maintains record links to prevent duplication, and ensures clean, reliable data transfer between Lumber and Vista.
Is the data synced in real-time?
Data sync timing can be configured based on your needs. Most customers use frequent automated syncs to keep data up to date without overwhelming systems.
Can we control what data gets synced?
Yes. Integration toggles allow you to define which data flows between systems and in which direction, giving you flexibility based on your workflows.
Do we need to manually map fields between systems?
No heavy lifting required. The integration includes predefined mappings for common construction workflows, though configurations can be customized if needed.
Will this impact our existing Vista workflows?
No. Vista continues to operate as your financial backbone. The integration enhances it by feeding accurate field data into your existing processes—without disruption.
How secure is the integration?
Data is transmitted securely through Trimble App Xchange with controlled access, ensuring your workforce and financial data remains protected.
How long does implementation take?
Implementation timelines vary, but most customers can get up and running quickly thanks to standardized mappings and a structured integration framework.
Ready to connect your field to your financials?
