Introduction
Since 2012, Mavin Construction has been a trusted name in general contracting. Based in Greenville, South Carolina, the company serves industries such as healthcare, higher education, ecclesiastical, industrial, and corporate headquarters. With an annual revenue of $25 million and projects ranging from $1 million to $15 million, Mavin has built its reputation on adaptability and quality.
However, as their operations grew, Mavin faced significant challenges with outdated systems and siloed data. Their legacy software was ill-equipped to handle the growing complexity of their projects, leading to inefficiencies and delays. To address these issues, Mavin partnered with CMiC ERP, a cutting-edge solution that streamlined their workflows, centralized critical information, and enabled real-time collaboration.
The Challenges: Inefficiencies Hindering Productivity
Mavin’s reliance on legacy systems created bottlenecks that affected their ability to operate efficiently:
- Data Silos: Project-critical information was scattered across spreadsheets and desktops, causing delays in updates and decision-making.
- Outdated Software: Sage 100, their existing system, lacked the flexibility and scalability needed to manage Mavin’s expanding operations.
- Manual Workflows: Administrative tasks such as document approvals and invoice processing required significant manual effort, slowing project timelines.
To stay competitive and support their growth, Mavin needed an integrated ERP platform capable of streamlining their operations and providing real-time access to data.
The Solution: CMiC ERP’s Unified System
Mavin chose CMiC ERP to address these challenges and transform their operations. The platform offered a suite of features tailored to meet the demands of modern construction management.
1. Unified Data Integration
CMiC provided seamless integration between field teams and back-office staff, enabling real-time data sharing and eliminating silos.
2. Mobile-First Approach
CMiC’s mobile application allowed employees to access and update project information from anywhere, ensuring connectivity and productivity whether in the office or on-site.
3. Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
The ECM module centralized Mavin’s project data into a single source of truth, improving transparency and empowering better 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: A Revolution in Workflow Efficiency
The implementation of CMiC ERP led to transformative changes across Mavin’s operations:
1. Streamlined Administrative Processes
Subcontractor change orders were managed directly in CMiC, reducing the time spent on paper-based workflows and repetitive administrative tasks. This automation saved hours of valuable time.
2. Faster Invoice Processing
Project managers used CMiC’s Imaging and Workflow modules to approve invoices electronically and sign documents digitally through DocuSign integration. This streamlined process minimized delays and improved cash flow.
3. Real-Time Collaboration
With centralized data and real-time updates, Mavin’s teams could collaborate more effectively, improving project timelines and reducing delays across all departments.
Why It Matters: Building for the Future
Mavin Construction’s partnership with CMiC highlights the transformative power of adopting modern ERP solutions. By centralizing workflows, automating repetitive tasks, and improving data access, Mavin achieved operational excellence and positioned itself for continued growth in a competitive industry.
For other construction firms, Mavin’s story serves as a clear example of how the right technology can eliminate inefficiencies, improve collaboration, and enable scalability.
