Introduction
Founded in 1918 by Patrick G. Miron, Miron Construction Co., Inc. has grown into a leader in commercial and industrial construction. With over a century of experience, the company has expanded its scope to include preconstruction and virtual construction services, complementing its self-performed work in concrete, steel, masonry, and carpentry. Over the past decade, Miron has shifted from hard bids to negotiated contracts, handling increasingly complex projects.
As the company scaled its operations, inefficiencies in their processes became evident. With 18 disconnected systems and paper-based workflows, Miron faced significant challenges in managing accounting, payroll, and project controls. To address these issues, they turned to CMiC ERP to consolidate their systems, eliminate silos, and improve enterprise-wide efficiency.
The Challenges: Disconnected Systems and Inefficient Workflows
Miron’s reliance on multiple systems created bottlenecks that slowed progress and impacted productivity:
- Siloed Operations: The use of 18 separate systems resulted in fragmented workflows and inconsistent data management.
- Paper-Based Processes: Critical processes relied on paper documentation, delaying communication and decision-making.
- Limited Integration: The lack of a unified platform made it difficult to connect accounting, payroll, project management, and project controls effectively.
These challenges underscored the need for an enterprise-level solution capable of integrating all aspects of Miron’s operations.
The Solution: CMiC ERP’s Unified Platform
To modernize their operations, Miron adopted CMiC ERP, a comprehensive solution designed to centralize workflows and provide real-time insights. Key features of the platform included:
1. Integrated Financial and Project Management
CMiC streamlined Miron’s financials, human capital management, and project management processes, consolidating multiple systems into one unified platform.
2. Automated Invoice Processing
Using CMiC’s pre-built adapters, Miron integrated Kofax Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to automatically capture vendor and invoice information from scanned or emailed documents. This reduced manual data entry and improved accuracy.
3. Mobile Access for On-Site Teams
The CMiC mobile field app enabled project managers to access critical tools and data directly from their smartphones, eliminating the need to carry laptops for audits and on-site reporting.
“The project exec team would not have been possible without CMiC. We needed an enterprise-level solution to make it work. With CMiC, our people had the tools to take more ownership of their work.” — Edward Ruffolo, Director of Technology Innovation, Miron Construction Co., Inc.
The Results: Enhanced Efficiency and Collaboration
The implementation of CMiC ERP delivered significant improvements across Miron’s operations:
1. Simplified Job Cost Reporting
With CMiC, job cost reports were input once, and data automatically updated across all relevant systems. This streamlined process saved time and improved accuracy.
2. Improved Field Operations
Project managers no longer needed to carry laptops to job sites. The CMiC mobile field app provided all necessary tools and data, making on-site reporting faster and more efficient.
3. Consolidated Systems and Unified Workflows
By consolidating 18 separate systems into a single platform, Miron eliminated silos and created a seamless flow of information across accounting, payroll, and project management.
Why It Matters: The Value of Integration
Miron Construction’s journey highlights the importance of adopting an integrated ERP solution to overcome inefficiencies and support growth. By consolidating workflows, automating manual processes, and enabling real-time mobile access, CMiC empowered Miron’s teams to work more collaboratively and efficiently.
For other construction firms looking to modernize their operations, Miron’s success provides a clear example of how ERP solutions can streamline workflows and unlock new levels of productivity.
