Introduction
Mavin Construction, a Greenville, South Carolina-based general contractor, has been delivering top-quality projects since its founding in 2012. Serving industries like healthcare, higher education, ecclesiastical, industrial, and corporate headquarters, Mavin’s annual revenue reaches $25 million, with projects ranging from $1 million to $15 million.
As Mavin expanded, inefficiencies in its legacy systems began to hinder operations. Outdated tools trapped data in silos, creating bottlenecks in workflows and slowing decision-making. Mavin realized it needed a scalable, modern ERP solution to centralize information and streamline processes. With CMiC ERP, Mavin achieved its goal, enabling enterprise-wide transparency and efficiency.
The Challenges: Outdated Systems and Inefficient Workflows
As Mavin grew, the limitations of their existing technology became evident:
- Limited Scalability: Sage 100, their legacy system, lacked the flexibility and capabilities needed to support the variety of projects Mavin handled.
- Disconnected Data: Information stored on individual desktops and in spreadsheets caused delays, bottlenecks, and data inaccuracies.
- Manual, Time-Intensive Processes: Administrative tasks such as searching for files, managing paper documents, and manually approving invoices consumed valuable time.
These issues underscored the need for a robust solution that could centralize workflows and enhance real-time collaboration.
The Solution: CMiC ERP’s Unified Platform
To tackle these challenges, Mavin adopted CMiC ERP, a powerful solution designed specifically for construction firms. Key features included:
1. Real-Time Integration Across Teams
CMiC bridged the gap between field operations and the back office, creating a seamless flow of real-time information across the enterprise.
2. Mobile Accessibility
CMiC’s mobile application empowered Mavin’s team to stay connected and productive from anywhere. Whether on a job site or in the office, employees could access critical information and update data in real time.
3. Centralized Data and Enterprise Transparency
With CMiC’s Enterprise Content Management (ECM) module, Mavin gained a unified data source, ensuring that all team members had access to accurate, up-to-date information.
“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: Streamlined and Scalable Operations
