Mavin Construction: Redefining Efficiency and Collaboration with CMiC ERP

Introduction

Mavin Construction, a trusted general contractor based in Greenville, South Carolina, has been delivering quality projects across industries since 2012. Serving sectors such as healthcare, higher education, ecclesiastical, industrial, and corporate headquarters, Mavin generates $25 million in annual revenue and handles projects ranging from $1 million to $15 million.

As the company grew, their existing systems could no longer keep pace with the demands of their expanding portfolio. Data silos, outdated processes, and a lack of integration between field teams and the back office led to inefficiencies that hindered productivity. To address these challenges and support their continued growth, Mavin adopted CMiC ERP, a platform designed to streamline workflows, centralize data, and enable real-time collaboration.

The Challenges: Outdated Systems Limiting Growth

Despite their success, Mavin faced several operational hurdles:

• Siloed Information: Critical data was scattered across spreadsheets and desktops, delaying access and hindering decision-making.
• Limited Scalability: Sage 100, their legacy system, lacked the flexibility and power to support Mavin’s growing operational complexity.
• Manual Workflows: Administrative tasks, such as managing paper-based documents and handling manual invoice approvals, consumed time and slowed project timelines.

These challenges highlighted the need for a modern ERP solution to unify operations and unlock enterprise-wide efficiency.

The Solution: CMiC ERP’s Integrated Platform

To overcome these challenges, Mavin turned to CMiC ERP, a robust platform designed specifically for the construction industry. CMiC provided tools that addressed Mavin’s specific needs and enabled significant operational improvements.

1. Unified Data and Workflow Integration

CMiC centralized Mavin’s workflows, connecting field teams with back-office operations. This integration ensured real-time access to data and streamlined communication across the company.

2. Mobile Accessibility for Flexibility

With CMiC’s mobile application, Mavin employees could access and update data on-the-go, allowing seamless transitions between the office and job sites.

3. Enhanced Transparency with Enterprise Content Management

CMiC’s Enterprise Content Management (ECM) module provided a centralized platform for storing and accessing data, eliminating silos and improving collaboration.

“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.
