Introduction
Mavin Construction, a Greenville, South Carolina-based general contractor, has built a reputation for excellence since its inception in 2012. Specializing in industries like healthcare, higher education, ecclesiastical, industrial, and corporate headquarters, Mavin handles projects ranging from $1 million to $15 million, generating $25 million in annual revenue.
However, as Mavin grew, its reliance on legacy systems revealed significant inefficiencies. Disconnected data, manual workflows, and outdated software slowed operations and hindered collaboration. To address these challenges, Mavin partnered with CMiC ERP to integrate its workflows, streamline processes, and make critical information accessible enterprise-wide.
The Challenges: Outdated Systems Holding Back Growth
Despite their success, Mavin faced several operational hurdles:
- Scattered Data: Key information was fragmented across spreadsheets and desktops, delaying updates and making real-time collaboration difficult.
- Limited Scalability: Their existing software, Sage 100, lacked the flexibility and capacity to support Mavin’s growing project complexity and portfolio size.
- Inefficient Workflows: Paper-based processes and time-consuming manual approvals created bottlenecks, diverting resources away from strategic tasks.
These limitations highlighted the need for a comprehensive solution capable of transforming Mavin’s operations and providing a centralized platform for data and workflows.
The Solution: CMiC ERP’s Integrated System
To overcome these challenges, Mavin adopted CMiC ERP, a robust platform designed for the construction industry. Key features of the solution included:
1. Real-Time Integration Across Teams
CMiC seamlessly connected Mavin’s field and back-office operations, ensuring real-time updates and improving communication across departments.
2. Mobile Accessibility
With CMiC’s mobile application, Mavin employees could access and update data from anywhere, streamlining workflows and eliminating delays between the office and job sites.
3. Centralized Data Repository
CMiC’s Enterprise Content Management (ECM) module provided a single source of truth for all project information, eliminating data silos and enabling transparency across the organization.
“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: A New Era of Efficiency
The implementation of CMiC ERP transformed Mavin Construction’s operations, delivering measurable benefits:
1. Streamlined Administrative Workflows
By managing subcontractor change orders within CMiC, Mavin reduced the reliance on manual, paper-based processes. This automation saved significant time and resources.
2. Faster Invoice Approvals
CMiC’s Imaging and Workflow modules enabled project managers to approve invoices electronically and sign documents digitally using DocuSign integration. This minimized approval delays and improved financial efficiency.
3. Real-Time Access to Critical Information
With centralized data, Mavin’s teams gained real-time access to project and operational information. This improved collaboration, accelerated decision-making, and reduced project delays.
Why It Matters: A Scalable Solution for Future Growth
Mavin Construction’s partnership with CMiC demonstrates how modern ERP solutions can revolutionize workflows, enhance collaboration, and drive efficiency. By eliminating silos, automating tasks, and providing a single source of truth, Mavin positioned itself for sustained success in a competitive industry.
For other construction firms seeking to modernize their operations, Mavin’s experience offers a clear roadmap for leveraging technology to unlock potential and achieve operational excellence.
