Introduction
Mavin Construction has been delivering exceptional general contracting services since 2012, earning a reputation for excellence across industries like healthcare, higher education, industrial, ecclesiastical, and corporate headquarters. Operating out of Greenville, South Carolina, Mavin generates $25 million annually, managing projects ranging from $1 million to $15 million.
As the company grew, inefficiencies in its existing systems began to surface. Critical data was scattered across spreadsheets and desktops, workflows were bogged down by manual processes, and the lack of scalability in their legacy system limited growth. To address these challenges, Mavin partnered with CMiC ERP to implement an integrated solution that unified their operations, optimized workflows, and enabled real-time collaboration.
The Challenges: Inefficiencies Hindering Productivity
Despite their success, Mavin faced several operational challenges that needed to be addressed:
- Data Silos: Information was fragmented across desktops and spreadsheets, making it difficult to access and update project-critical details in real time.
- Outdated Systems: Sage 100, their legacy software, lacked the power and scalability required to support Mavin’s growing and diverse portfolio of projects.
- Manual Workflows: Paper-based processes and repetitive administrative tasks consumed time and resources, creating bottlenecks and slowing decision-making.
These challenges made it clear that Mavin needed a modern ERP solution that could integrate workflows and centralize information.
The Solution: CMiC ERP’s Comprehensive Approach
To tackle these challenges, Mavin Construction adopted CMiC ERP, a robust platform designed specifically for the construction industry. Key features included:
1. Unified Data Integration
CMiC connected Mavin’s field teams and back-office operations, enabling seamless communication and real-time sharing of critical project information.
2. Mobile Accessibility for Flexibility
CMiC’s mobile application empowered Mavin’s team to stay connected and productive on the go. Employees could access and update data from anywhere, streamlining workflows across job sites and the office.
3. Centralized Data for Transparency
With CMiC’s Enterprise Content Management (ECM) module, Mavin gained access to a single source of truth. This ensured all team members had up-to-date, accurate information, improving collaboration and decision-making.
“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: Transformation Across Operations
CMiC ERP delivered significant improvements that transformed Mavin’s workflows and operations:
1. Streamlined Administrative Processes
Managing subcontractor change orders directly in CMiC eliminated the need for paper-based workflows and manual data entry. This saved hours of administrative work each week.
2. Faster Invoice Approvals
With CMiC’s Imaging and Workflow modules, project managers could approve invoices electronically and sign documents using DocuSign integration. This automation reduced delays and improved financial management efficiency.
3. Real-Time Data Access
CMiC centralized Mavin’s data, giving teams real-time access to project-critical information. This enabled faster collaboration, improved decision-making, and reduced delays across all projects.
Why It Matters: A Scalable Solution for Growth
Mavin Construction’s adoption of CMiC ERP showcases how modern technology can transform workflows and drive operational efficiency. By centralizing processes, automating tasks, and enabling enterprise-wide data access, Mavin positioned itself for sustained growth and success in a competitive industry.
For other construction firms facing similar challenges, Mavin’s success is a testament to how the right ERP solution can unlock new opportunities and streamline operations.
