WinCAMS Overview
What is WinCAMS?
WinCAMS – Cost Accounting Management System is an automated, modular Cost and Project Accounting System originally designed and developed for Public Works and Road Departments.
WinCAMS consists of up to thirty-five (35) modules that are fully integrated to provide a highly-efficient cost accounting system that delivers timely and accurate information to its users in a safe and secure environment. Information is captured once (single source data entry) and all incoming data is extensively edited for accuracy and validity.

- Activity Codes: Activity-based Cost Accounting: Costs by Activity (Task) Codee
- Projects: Project Ledger: Billing, Grants, Funding Sources
- Roads and Routes: Maintenance History and Costs by Road (with Mileposts)
- Bridges: Maintenance History and Costs by Bridge
