Introduction
Miron Construction Co., Inc., a leader in commercial and industrial construction, has a legacy that dates back to 1918. Founded by Patrick G. Miron, the company has grown from its roots in self-performed masonry, steel, and carpentry to providing comprehensive services, including preconstruction and virtual construction. Over the last decade, Miron has shifted much of its business from hard bids to negotiated contracts, enabling them to take on increasingly complex projects.
Despite their growth, Miron faced mounting challenges managing operations across 18 disconnected systems. These siloed platforms created inefficiencies in accounting, payroll, and project management. To overcome these challenges, Miron partnered with CMiC ERP to unify their systems, optimize workflows, and empower their teams with real-time access to data.
The Challenges: Managing Growth with Disconnected Systems
Miron’s reliance on multiple systems created significant obstacles to their productivity:
- Siloed Systems: With 18 different platforms in use, workflows were fragmented, and data consistency was difficult to maintain.
- Paper-Based Processes: Critical workflows, including invoicing and reporting, were heavily reliant on paper, slowing down operations and increasing errors.
- Limited Integration: The lack of connectivity between accounting, payroll, and project controls created bottlenecks, hindering the company’s ability to scale efficiently.
To address these issues, Miron needed an all-in-one ERP solution that could integrate their operations and provide a foundation for growth.
The Solution: CMiC’s Integrated ERP
Miron adopted CMiC ERP, a unified platform designed to centralize workflows and eliminate inefficiencies. Key features included:
1. Unified Financial and Project Management
CMiC consolidated Miron’s financial, payroll, and project management systems into a single platform, ensuring seamless operations and improved accuracy.
2. Automated Invoice Processing
CMiC integrated Kofax Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to automatically capture vendor and invoice information. This automation reduced manual data entry, improved accuracy, and saved time.
3. Real-Time Mobile Access
The CMiC mobile field app allowed project managers to access critical tools and data from their smartphones, making on-site tasks faster and more efficient.
“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: Operational Excellence Achieved
The implementation of CMiC ERP transformed Miron’s operations, delivering measurable results:
1. Streamlined Job Cost Reporting
With CMiC, job cost reports were entered once and updated across all systems automatically, reducing manual efforts and errors while saving time.
2. Improved Field Efficiency
Project managers no longer needed laptops to perform audits or track updates. The CMiC mobile field app provided instant access to all necessary information, enhancing on-site productivity.
3. Consolidated Workflows
CMiC replaced 18 separate systems with a single, unified platform, creating a seamless flow of information across accounting, payroll, and project management.
Why Miron’s Transformation Matters
Miron Construction’s success demonstrates how an integrated ERP solution can address operational inefficiencies and support sustainable growth. By consolidating systems, automating manual processes, and providing mobile access to real-time data, CMiC empowered Miron’s teams to operate more efficiently and take greater ownership of their work.
For other construction firms looking to optimize their operations, Miron’s journey provides a clear example of how technology can unlock efficiency and improve collaboration.
