Introduction
Mavin Construction has been redefining quality and adaptability since its founding in 2012. Based in Greenville, South Carolina, this general contractor manages a diverse portfolio across industries such as healthcare, higher education, ecclesiastical, industrial, and corporate headquarters. With $25 million in annual revenue and project sizes ranging from $1 million to $15 million, Mavin thrives on flexibility, handling both large-scale projects and smaller maintenance jobs.
As their operations expanded, Mavin faced mounting inefficiencies. Outdated systems trapped data in silos, administrative processes consumed valuable time, and limited software capabilities hindered scalability. Recognizing the need for a more robust solution, Mavin partnered with CMiC ERP to centralize operations, improve workflows, and provide real-time access to critical data.
The Challenge: Inefficiencies Hindering Growth
Despite their success, Mavin’s existing systems presented significant challenges:
- Siloed Information: Key data was scattered across spreadsheets and desktops, delaying communication and decision-making.
- Limited Scalability: Sage 100, their previous system, lacked the power and flexibility to support the complexity of Mavin’s diverse projects.
- Time-Consuming Administrative Tasks: Searching for files, managing paper-based workflows, and processing approvals manually created bottlenecks and wasted resources.
To continue growing and maintaining their reputation for excellence, Mavin needed a scalable ERP solution that could unify their operations and enhance collaboration.
The Solution: CMiC ERP’s Integrated Approach
Mavin adopted CMiC’s next-generation ERP platform, a comprehensive solution designed to address their unique challenges. Key features included:
1. Unified Data Integration
CMiC centralized Mavin’s workflows, connecting the field and the back office with real-time information. This integration eliminated data silos and improved operational visibility.
2. Mobile Accessibility
CMiC’s mobile application enabled Mavin’s team to work seamlessly across locations, updating and accessing data from the job site, office, or anywhere in between.
3. Enterprise Transparency
With CMiC’s Enterprise Content Management (ECM) module, Mavin gained access to a single source of truth. This transparency allowed teams at every level to collaborate effectively and make informed 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: Greater Efficiency Across the Board
CMiC ERP revolutionized Mavin Construction’s workflows, delivering measurable improvements:
Streamlined Workflows
Managing subcontractor change orders directly in CMiC reduced time spent on paper-based tasks and manual approvals. Processes that once took hours were completed in minutes, allowing teams to focus on higher-value activities.
Efficient Invoice Approvals
Using CMiC’s Imaging and Workflow modules, project managers electronically approved invoices and digitally signed documents via DocuSign integration. This streamlined financial processes and reduced delays.
Real-Time Data Access
By centralizing their information, Mavin ensured all teams had immediate access to the latest data, fostering better collaboration and faster decision-making.
Why It Matters: A Model for Industry Success
Mavin Construction’s transformation with CMiC ERP underscores the importance of modern technology in addressing operational inefficiencies. By unifying their workflows, providing real-time data access, and streamlining processes, Mavin empowered their team to operate with greater precision and flexibility.
For other construction firms facing similar challenges, Mavin’s experience serves as a clear example of how adopting a tailored ERP solution can drive operational excellence and scalability.
