Mavin Construction: Unlocking Collaboration and Efficiency with CMiC ERP

Introduction

Founded in 2012, Mavin Construction has built a reputation for delivering excellence across a diverse range of industries, including healthcare, higher education, ecclesiastical, industrial, and corporate headquarters. Operating out of Greenville, South Carolina, Mavin generates $25 million annually with project sizes ranging from $1 million to $15 million. Their adaptability allows them to tackle both large-scale builds and smaller maintenance projects, ensuring they meet the unique needs of their clients.

As Mavin’s portfolio grew, their reliance on outdated systems became a significant obstacle. Data was scattered across desktops and spreadsheets, creating bottlenecks, delaying decision-making, and limiting scalability. To stay ahead of the competition, Mavin partnered with CMiC ERP to implement an integrated system that centralized operations, streamlined workflows, and enabled enterprise-wide collaboration.

The Challenges: Scaling Beyond Legacy Systems

Despite their success, Mavin faced critical challenges that impacted their efficiency:

• Fragmented Data Systems: Key information was siloed, stored across individual computers and spreadsheets, leading to delays and inconsistent updates.
• Limited System Capabilities: Sage 100, their previous platform, lacked the power and flexibility to support their growing operations and diverse project demands.
• Manual Administrative Workflows: Searching for data, managing paper-based documents, and processing invoices manually consumed valuable time and resources.

These inefficiencies made it clear that Mavin needed a robust solution to unify their operations and enable real-time collaboration.

The Solution: CMiC ERP’s Unified Platform

To address their challenges, Mavin implemented CMiC ERP, a comprehensive solution designed to modernize workflows and optimize operations. Key components included:

1. Integration Between Field and Office

CMiC’s platform provided seamless connectivity between job sites and back-office teams, ensuring real-time information flow and enhanced collaboration across the enterprise.

2. Mobile Accessibility

With CMiC’s mobile application, employees could access and update critical project information directly from their handheld devices, whether on-site or in the office.

3. Enterprise-Wide Transparency

CMiC’s Enterprise Content Management (ECM) module delivered a centralized data repository, enabling all team members to access up-to-date information and collaborate more effectively.

“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 New Level of Efficiency

The adoption of CMiC ERP transformed Mavin Construction’s operations, delivering tangible results:

1. Streamlined Workflows

CMiC enabled Mavin to manage subcontractor change orders directly within the platform, reducing the reliance on paper-based processes and saving hours previously spent on manual administrative tasks.

2. Efficient Invoice Management

With CMiC’s Imaging and Workflow modules, project managers could approve invoices electronically and digitally sign documents using DocuSign integration. This automation minimized delays and improved financial accuracy.

3. Real-Time Data Access

By centralizing data, Mavin ensured that all teams had immediate access to the latest project information, fostering faster decision-making and better communication across departments.

Why This Matters: A Model for Growth and Adaptability

Mavin Construction’s journey demonstrates the power of investing in modern ERP solutions to overcome inefficiencies and scale operations effectively. By unifying workflows, providing mobile accessibility, and centralizing data, CMiC enabled Mavin to enhance collaboration, improve accuracy, and focus on delivering exceptional projects.

For other construction companies seeking to modernize, Mavin’s success is a clear example of how the right technology can unlock potential and drive operational excellence.
