Introduction
Since its founding in 2012, Mavin Construction has earned a reputation as a versatile and reliable general contractor. Based in Greenville, South Carolina, Mavin serves a diverse range of industries, including healthcare, higher education, ecclesiastical, industrial, and corporate headquarters. With a lean team of 25 employees generating $25 million in annual revenue, the company thrives on adaptability, managing projects ranging from $1 million to $15 million.
However, as the company grew, inefficiencies in managing critical information and workflows began to emerge. Limited by outdated systems, such as Sage 100, and bottlenecked by data silos, Mavin sought a scalable and robust solution. By adopting CMiC ERP, Mavin transformed their operations, making critical information accessible enterprise-wide and streamlining processes from the field to the office.
The Challenge: Outdated Systems and Bottlenecked Workflows
As Mavin Construction expanded, they faced several operational roadblocks:
- Lack of Scalability: Sage 100, their existing software, lacked the power and flexibility to support Mavin’s diverse range of project sizes and types.
- Bottlenecked Information: Critical data was trapped on desktops and spreadsheets, creating delays in communication and decision-making.
- Manual, Time-Consuming Processes: Searching for files and handling administrative tasks consumed time that could have been spent analyzing data and driving strategic outcomes.
These inefficiencies highlighted the need for a modern, integrated platform that could streamline workflows, improve accessibility, and enhance collaboration across the organization.
The Solution: CMiC’s Unified ERP Platform
To overcome these challenges, Mavin Construction implemented CMiC ERP, a powerful solution designed to integrate operations and provide real-time information. CMiC offered the flexibility and scalability Mavin needed to transform their workflows.
1. Seamless Integration Between Field and Office
CMiC created a unified connection between Mavin’s job sites and back-office operations. Real-time data sharing allowed team members to access up-to-date information from anywhere, improving efficiency and eliminating delays.
2. Mobile Accessibility
CMiC’s mobile application optimized workflows by providing real-time updates across handheld devices. Team members could move seamlessly between the office and job sites, staying connected and informed at all times.
3. Enterprise-Wide Transparency
With CMiC’s Enterprise Content Management (ECM) module, all team members—from project managers to administrators—gained instant access to critical information. This transparency streamlined collaboration and allowed leadership to make more informed 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: Tangible Improvements in Efficiency
With CMiC ERP, Mavin Construction experienced measurable results across their operations:
Streamlined Workflows
By enabling subcontractor change orders to be managed directly within the system, Mavin reduced the time spent on handling paper documents and repetitive administrative tasks. Workflows became faster and more efficient, freeing up time for more strategic activities.
Efficient Invoice Management
Through CMiC’s Imaging and Workflow modules, project managers could approve invoices electronically and sign documents using DocuSign integration. This eliminated delays in the approval process and streamlined the flow of financial data.
Improved Accessibility and Collaboration
With a single source of truth, Mavin’s teams no longer had to search through multiple systems or spreadsheets for information. This accessibility improved transparency, enhanced communication, and empowered better decision-making.
A Blueprint for Modern Construction Operations
Mavin Construction’s success with CMiC ERP demonstrates the power of modern technology in transforming workflows and improving enterprise-wide information accessibility. By eliminating data silos, automating repetitive tasks, and providing real-time insights, CMiC empowered Mavin to focus on what they do best: delivering high-quality construction projects.
Their journey serves as a model for other construction firms seeking to modernize their operations and scale effectively in a competitive market.
