Challenges

Commercial construction firm Carlson-LaVine operated on Sage 300 CRE, formerly known as Timberline Software, for 25 years. The aging software was augmented with many manual processes and left employees manually exporting data to Excel. Operating in a very competitive construction marketplace, executives needed to adopt a more modern system that could help it attract new talent while also making its staff more productive.

“Sage 300 basically created more processes and more messes. Everything needed to be exported as PDF and then exported to Excel, which was an easier way to manipulate data.”

ERP Solution

Carlson-LaVine selected Acumatica for its modern, easy-to-use cloud ERP platform. The system’s open API provides seamless integration with construction applications including Procore. Acumatica’s consumption-based licensing allows the company’s 45 employees to use the platform affordably. The licensing model also allows them to extend access to project owners and subcontractors. Acumatica’s easy-to-use interface and highly searchable features help drive productivity gains.

“If you are future oriented and want to be more streamlined in your operations, Acumatica is a great partner to work with.”

Outcome

By implementing Acumatica, Carlson-LaVine drastically cut payroll processing from 1.5 days to just 10 minutes by eliminating cumbersome manual steps. The modern, scalable platform boosted employee productivity and improved reporting efficiency. Carlson-LaVine now has an easy-to-use tool to help it attract new talent while also boosting productivity, which both help it be competitive against much larger firms in the region’s construction industry.

“With Acumatica, I’m giving employees an ultra-efficient tool they need to do their jobs correctly and allowing them to do things easier.”
