Introduction
Since 2012, Mavin Construction has established itself as a dynamic general contractor, delivering projects across industries like healthcare, higher education, ecclesiastical, industrial, and corporate headquarters. With $25 million in annual revenue and projects ranging from $1 million to $15 million, Mavin has built its reputation on flexibility and reliability.
However, as the company grew, inefficiencies in their legacy systems created significant challenges. Data was siloed, workflows were manual, and the lack of real-time accessibility hampered collaboration. To address these issues, Mavin partnered with CMiC ERP to implement a modern, unified platform that could centralize their operations and transform their business processes.
The Challenges: Breaking Free from Inefficient Systems
As Mavin expanded its portfolio, their existing systems revealed limitations that held back productivity:
- Data Silos: Information was stored across multiple desktops and spreadsheets, creating delays in accessing and updating critical project data.
- Lack of Scalability: Sage 100, their previous software, couldn’t keep up with Mavin’s growing operational complexity or the variety of their projects.
- Time-Consuming Administrative Workflows: Manual processes, such as handling paper documents and managing approvals, drained valuable resources and slowed decision-making.
These obstacles underscored the need for an integrated ERP solution that could enhance efficiency and provide real-time access to enterprise-wide information.
The Solution: CMiC ERP’s All-in-One Platform
To address these challenges, Mavin implemented CMiC ERP, a robust system tailored to meet the demands of modern construction operations. Key features included:
1. Real-Time Integration Across Teams
CMiC unified Mavin’s field teams and back-office staff, creating a seamless connection that allowed for real-time information sharing and improved collaboration.
2. Mobile Accessibility
CMiC’s mobile application empowered employees to stay connected and productive, whether at the job site or in the office. This ensured that critical updates were accessible anytime, anywhere.
3. Centralized Data Management
With CMiC’s Enterprise Content Management (ECM) module, Mavin gained a single source of truth for all project and operational data. This transparency enhanced decision-making and collaboration across departments.
“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: Tangible Improvements Across Operations
CMiC ERP delivered measurable results that transformed how Mavin Construction operated:
1. Streamlined Workflows
By managing subcontractor change orders directly within CMiC, Mavin reduced the need for paper-based processes and manual administrative work. This saved hours previously spent on repetitive tasks.
2. Faster Invoice Approvals
With CMiC’s Imaging and Workflow modules, project managers were able to electronically approve invoices and sign documents through DocuSign integration. This automation eliminated bottlenecks and improved cash flow efficiency.
3. Real-Time Data Access
By centralizing data within CMiC, Mavin’s teams gained immediate access to accurate and up-to-date project information, enabling better collaboration and faster decision-making.
A Future-Ready Solution for Construction Excellence
Mavin Construction’s transformation with CMiC ERP highlights the importance of adopting modern, scalable solutions to address inefficiencies. By eliminating data silos, streamlining workflows, and enhancing transparency, CMiC positioned Mavin to scale their operations and focus on delivering exceptional projects.
For other construction firms seeking to modernize their operations, Mavin’s experience serves as a clear example of how the right ERP solution can drive growth and operational success.
