Introduction
Mavin Construction, a general contractor based in Greenville, South Carolina, has been delivering quality projects since its founding in 2012. Serving industries such as healthcare, higher education, ecclesiastical, industrial, and corporate headquarters, Mavin has established itself as a versatile and reliable contractor. With annual revenue of $25 million and project sizes ranging from $1 million to $15 million, Mavin thrives on its ability to handle projects of varying complexity.
However, as the company scaled its operations, inefficiencies in their legacy systems began to surface. Data silos, manual workflows, and a lack of flexibility in their software hindered their ability to collaborate effectively and make timely decisions. Mavin turned to CMiC ERP to transform their operations, enabling them to centralize information, streamline workflows, and enhance collaboration.
The Challenge: Outdated Systems Holding Back Growth
As Mavin expanded its portfolio, they faced several key challenges:
- Limited Scalability: Their existing software, Sage 100, lacked the flexibility and functionality needed to support Mavin’s growing range of projects.
- Siloed Information: Data was trapped in individual desktops and spreadsheets, creating bottlenecks that slowed communication and decision-making.
- Time-Consuming Administrative Tasks: Searching for files, handling paper documents, and managing approvals manually drained time and resources that could have been spent on more strategic activities.
Recognizing these inefficiencies, Mavin sought a robust ERP solution to streamline their workflows and unlock enterprise-wide data access.
The Solution: CMiC ERP Integration
Mavin adopted CMiC’s ERP platform to address these challenges and modernize their operations. Key features included:
1. Centralized Data and Workflow Integration
CMiC seamlessly connected Mavin’s field and back-office operations, creating a unified system that allowed real-time sharing of critical information.
2. Mobile-Optimized Accessibility
CMiC’s mobile application enabled employees to access and update data on handheld devices, ensuring they could stay connected and productive whether on-site or in the office.
3. Enterprise-Wide Transparency
With CMiC’s Enterprise Content Management (ECM) module, Mavin’s team gained instant access to a single source of truth. This transparency streamlined collaboration and empowered team members to make data-driven decisions.
“From the perspective of a partner, having everybody working in one system and having full transparency—like being able to review everyone’s submittal logs—is really valuable. Searching for Excel files takes time away from analyzing valuable data insights and applying them. A single system is especially important for someone with oversight responsibilities.” – Todd Malo, Managing Partner, Mavin Construction LLC.
The Results: Transformative Efficiency Gains
The implementation of CMiC ERP delivered measurable benefits for Mavin Construction:
Streamlined Workflows
Managing subcontractor change orders directly in CMiC eliminated the need for manual, paper-based processes. This automation reduced administrative overhead and freed up time for high-value tasks.
Efficient Invoice Approvals
With CMiC’s Imaging and Workflow modules, project managers were able to electronically approve invoices and sign documents using DocuSign integration. This reduced approval delays and improved financial efficiency.
Accessible Real-Time Data
