Introduction
Since its founding in 2012, Mavin Construction has carved out a reputation as a trusted general contractor. Based in Greenville, South Carolina, Mavin serves a wide array of industries, from healthcare to higher education, ecclesiastical, industrial, and corporate headquarters. With $25 million in annual revenue and projects ranging from $1 million to $15 million, the company thrives on flexibility, taking on both large-scale builds and smaller maintenance jobs.
Despite its success, Mavin faced growing pains as it expanded. Outdated systems created inefficiencies, while critical information became siloed, limiting the team’s ability to collaborate effectively. Seeking a solution to unify their workflows and empower their team with real-time access to data, Mavin turned to CMiC ERP. The result? A complete operational transformation.
The Challenge: Limited Systems and Bottlenecked Information
As Mavin scaled, they faced several operational hurdles that hindered efficiency:
- Insufficient Scalability: Sage 100, their existing platform, lacked the flexibility and power to handle Mavin’s growing range of project types and sizes.
- Data Silos: Key information was trapped in desktops and spreadsheets, creating bottlenecks and slowing decision-making.
- Time-Consuming Manual Processes: Administrative tasks, such as searching for data or managing documents, diverted time away from high-priority work.
These limitations underscored the need for a more robust, integrated solution capable of addressing their operational challenges and supporting their growth.
The Solution: CMiC ERP’s Unified Platform
To overcome these inefficiencies, Mavin adopted CMiC’s ERP system, gaining access to a powerful set of tools designed for construction businesses. Key elements of the solution included:
1. Real-Time Integration Between Field and Office
CMiC connected Mavin’s field teams with their back-office operations, providing instant access to accurate, up-to-date information across the enterprise.
2. Mobile Accessibility for On-the-Go Teams
CMiC’s mobile application allowed Mavin employees to seamlessly transition between job sites and the office, updating and accessing data in real-time through handheld devices.
3. Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
CMiC’s ECM module provided a centralized platform for accessing critical information. This transparency enabled team members at all levels to collaborate effectively and make data-driven 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: Operational Efficiency Achieved
With CMiC ERP, Mavin Construction saw transformative improvements across their operations:
Streamlined Administrative Processes
By enabling subcontractor change orders to be managed directly in CMiC, Mavin significantly reduced the time spent on paper-based workflows and manual approvals. This streamlined process allowed the team to focus on higher-value tasks.
Efficient Invoice Management
Through CMiC’s Imaging and Workflow modules, project managers could approve invoices electronically and use DocuSign for digital signatures. This integration eliminated delays in the approval process and improved financial workflow efficiency.
Transparent, Accessible Data
CMiC centralized Mavin’s data, removing silos and ensuring all team members had access to real-time information. This accessibility enhanced collaboration and enabled faster, more informed decision-making.
