Mavin Construction: Driving Operational Excellence with CMiC ERP

Introduction

Mavin Construction, a general contractor based in Greenville, South Carolina, has built its reputation on delivering excellence since its founding in 2012. With a diverse portfolio spanning industries like healthcare, higher education, ecclesiastical, industrial, and corporate headquarters, Mavin generates $25 million annually and handles projects ranging from $1 million to $15 million.

However, as Mavin expanded, their legacy systems struggled to keep pace. Siloed data, inefficient workflows, and manual processes hindered collaboration and delayed decision-making. To address these challenges, Mavin turned to CMiC ERP for a comprehensive solution that could centralize operations, streamline workflows, and improve access to critical information.

The Challenge: Inefficient Systems Creating Bottlenecks

As Mavin grew, several operational challenges surfaced:

• Fragmented Information: Key data was stored across multiple desktops and spreadsheets, creating delays in communication and decision-making.
• Limited Scalability: Sage 100, their existing platform, lacked the flexibility and functionality to manage Mavin’s increasing project complexity.
• Manual Workflows: Paper-based processes and repetitive administrative tasks consumed time and reduced productivity.

These inefficiencies made it clear that Mavin needed a scalable and robust solution capable of integrating workflows and enabling real-time data access.

The Solution: CMiC ERP’s All-in-One Platform

To address these challenges, Mavin adopted CMiC ERP, a powerful and tailored solution designed specifically for the construction industry. Key components included:

1. Integrated Operations

CMiC unified Mavin’s field and back-office teams, ensuring seamless collaboration and real-time data sharing across the enterprise.

2. Mobile Accessibility

With CMiC’s mobile application, employees could access and update data from any location, enabling better connectivity between job sites and the office.

3. Centralized Data Repository

CMiC’s Enterprise Content Management (ECM) module provided a single source of truth, eliminating data silos and ensuring 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: Operational Transformation

The implementation of CMiC ERP delivered immediate and impactful results for Mavin Construction:

1. Streamlined Administrative Processes

Subcontractor change orders were managed directly within the CMiC platform, reducing reliance on paper-based processes and manual approvals. This saved hours each week, allowing teams to focus on strategic initiatives.

2. Faster Invoice Approvals

Using CMiC’s Imaging and Workflow modules, project managers could electronically approve invoices and sign documents via DocuSign integration. This eliminated bottlenecks in financial workflows and improved cash flow management.

3. Real-Time Access to Critical Data

CMiC centralized Mavin’s data, ensuring teams could access accurate, real-time information anytime, anywhere. This improved collaboration, accelerated decision-making, and reduced delays across projects.
