Introduction
Founded in 2012, Mavin Construction has quickly established itself as a leader in general contracting. Based in Greenville, South Carolina, the company serves diverse markets, including healthcare, higher education, industrial, ecclesiastical, and corporate headquarters. With a team of 25 employees, Mavin generates $25 million in annual revenue and handles projects ranging from $1 million to $15 million.
Mavin’s success lies in its flexibility—taking on large-scale projects while remaining nimble enough to handle smaller maintenance and repair jobs. However, as the company grew, inefficiencies in its existing systems became apparent. Bottlenecked workflows and data trapped on individual desktops limited their ability to scale and analyze critical information. To address these challenges, Mavin turned to CMiC for a solution that would centralize operations, enhance collaboration, and provide enterprise-wide data accessibility.
The Challenge: Bottlenecked Information and Limited Scalability
As Mavin Construction expanded its portfolio, they faced several operational challenges:
- Lack of Scalability in Existing Software: The team was limited by the capabilities of Sage 100, which lacked the horsepower and flexibility needed to support Mavin’s diverse project types.
- Data Trapped on Desktops: Critical information was stored in individual files and spreadsheets, creating bottlenecks and hindering real-time collaboration.
- Time-Consuming Administrative Tasks: Searching for data, managing paper documents, and handling repetitive administrative work consumed valuable time that could be better spent on strategic decision-making.
These inefficiencies underscored the need for a modern, integrated software solution capable of supporting Mavin’s flexible operations and empowering its teams with real-time information.
The Solution: CMiC’s Unified Platform
To overcome these challenges, Mavin Construction adopted CMiC’s powerful, integrated ERP solution. CMiC offered the scalability and flexibility Mavin needed while addressing key pain points through its comprehensive suite of tools.
1. Integration Across Field and Back Office
CMiC created a seamless connection between the field and the back office, enabling real-time data sharing and collaboration across the entire enterprise. This integration ensured that all teams had access to accurate, up-to-date information at any time.
2. Mobile Accessibility
With CMiC’s mobile application, Mavin’s employees could transition effortlessly between the office and job sites. The application optimized workflows for handheld devices, allowing real-time updates and reducing the need for time-consuming data transfers.
3. Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
CMiC’s ECM module delivered a user-friendly experience by leveraging unified data across the organization. From project managers to administrators, all team members could access critical information instantly, streamlining workflows and improving transparency.
“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
The adoption of CMiC’s ERP system transformed Mavin Construction’s operations, delivering measurable results:
Streamlined Administrative Workflows
By integrating subcontractor change orders directly into the system, Mavin drastically reduced the hours spent handling paper documents and repetitive administrative tasks. Workflows became smoother, and the reliance on manual processes diminished significantly.
Improved Invoice Management
Project managers gained the ability to approve invoices electronically through CMiC’s Imaging and Workflow modules. With the DocuSign integration, forms were signed electronically, eliminating delays in the approval process. Once invoices were approved, they no longer needed to be pulled manually, saving considerable time.
Enhanced Collaboration and Transparency
CMiC provided Mavin with a single source of truth, ensuring that all employees had access to consistent and accurate data. This transparency improved communication between teams and enabled better decision-making.

By eliminating data silos, automating repetitive tasks, and enabling enterprise-wide accessibility, CMiC empowered Mavin to operate more efficiently and focus on delivering value to its clients.
