Introduction
Mavin Construction has been delivering exceptional general contracting services since 2012, serving a wide range of industries including healthcare, higher education, industrial, ecclesiastical, and corporate headquarters. With $25 million in annual revenue and project sizes ranging from $1 million to $15 million, the Greenville, South Carolina-based company has built its reputation on adaptability and excellence.
As Mavin’s operations grew, their reliance on outdated systems exposed inefficiencies that slowed progress and limited collaboration. Siloed data, manual workflows, and a lack of real-time insights hindered their ability to scale effectively. To overcome these challenges, Mavin turned to CMiC ERP to centralize operations, streamline workflows, and provide a unified view of their critical data.
The Challenges: Operational Inefficiencies Limiting Growth
Mavin’s existing systems created several bottlenecks that impacted their productivity and decision-making:
- Siloed Data: Critical information was stored across multiple spreadsheets and desktops, leading to delays and making real-time updates impossible.
- Outdated Software: Sage 100, their previous platform, lacked the flexibility to support the complexity of Mavin’s growing portfolio.
- Time-Intensive Manual Processes: Administrative tasks, including invoice approvals and document management, required excessive manual effort and slowed project timelines.
These inefficiencies made it clear that Mavin needed an integrated ERP solution capable of centralizing their workflows and providing enterprise-wide data access.
The Solution: CMiC ERP’s Comprehensive Platform
Mavin implemented CMiC ERP to address these challenges, choosing a solution tailored to meet the needs of the construction industry. Key features included:
1. Centralized Data and Real-Time Integration
CMiC unified Mavin’s workflows, enabling real-time updates and eliminating data silos. This integration allowed field and back-office teams to work seamlessly.
2. Mobile Accessibility
CMiC’s mobile application empowered employees to access and update project information on-the-go, enabling real-time collaboration from any location.
3. Enterprise-Wide Transparency
The Enterprise Content Management (ECM) module provided a single source of truth for all project data, ensuring all team members had access to accurate and 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: Driving Efficiency and Collaboration
The adoption of CMiC ERP transformed Mavin’s operations, delivering measurable improvements across their business:
1. Streamlined Workflows
Subcontractor change orders could now be managed directly in CMiC, reducing the reliance on paper-based processes and saving hours previously spent on manual data entry.
2. Faster Financial Processes
Project managers used CMiC’s Imaging and Workflow modules to approve invoices electronically and sign documents digitally via DocuSign. This streamlined financial workflows and reduced delays.
3. Real-Time Collaboration
Centralized data provided Mavin’s teams with real-time insights, enabling faster collaboration and improving decision-making across projects.
