Introduction
Mavin Construction, a general contractor based in Greenville, South Carolina, has been delivering high-quality projects since 2012. With expertise in healthcare, higher education, ecclesiastical, industrial, and corporate headquarters, Mavin generates $25 million in annual revenue, handling projects ranging from $1 million to $15 million.
Despite their success, Mavinโs reliance on outdated systems created bottlenecks that limited growth and slowed collaboration. Data silos, manual workflows, and inefficient processes hindered their ability to scale effectively. Recognizing the need for change, Mavin turned to CMiC ERP, a unified platform that streamlined workflows, centralized critical information, and empowered their teams with real-time insights.
The Challenges: Bottlenecks in Data and Processes
As Mavin expanded, their existing systems presented significant challenges:
- Scattered Data: Key information was fragmented across spreadsheets and desktops, delaying updates and making real-time collaboration difficult.
- Limited Scalability: Sage 100, their previous software, lacked the flexibility and capacity to support Mavinโs growing portfolio of diverse projects.
- Time-Consuming Manual Tasks: Administrative workflows such as invoice approvals and subcontractor management required excessive manual effort, slowing down projects.
To address these issues, Mavin needed an integrated ERP solution that could modernize their operations and provide a centralized platform for data and collaboration.
The Solution: CMiC ERPโs All-in-One System
Mavin adopted CMiC ERP to overcome their challenges, implementing a solution designed to streamline workflows and improve accessibility. Key features included:
1. Real-Time Integration
CMiC connected field and back-office teams, enabling seamless data sharing and real-time collaboration across the organization.
2. Mobile Accessibility
CMiCโs mobile application provided employees with the ability to access and update data from anywhere, enhancing productivity and ensuring smooth operations between job sites and the office.
3. Centralized Data Management
The Enterprise Content Management (ECM) module consolidated all project data into a single source of truth, eliminating silos and improving transparency.
โFrom the perspective of a partner, having everybody working in one system and having full transparencyโlike being able to review everyoneโs submittal logsโis 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.โ โ Todd Malo, Managing Partner, Mavin Construction LLC.
