“We needed a platform that would consolidate, standardize, integrate and automate, which CMiC has demonstrated with their impressive customer roster, proven R&D track record and unparalleled industry expertise.”
“I think one unique aspect when it comes to CMiC is the ability for the community to leave their fingerprints on the product. I’m really looking forward to having the client community partnering with CMiC to identify where to take it in the future. Finding and knowing that, yes, it’s scalable, but it’s not stagnant.”
“Before beginning to partner with CMiC, operations were highly fractured and siloed, with significant variation between individual offices and job sites. I think CMiC has driven greater focus in the company, much of it through executive process change. People did not really have an option – or they do not any longer – to use some of the systems they did in the past. CMiC has brought everything, ideally, under just one umbrella, forced a lot of good discussion within the company, and facilitated a hastened change toward centralization across regions and offices at Pankow.”
“We were looking for a solution that was out-of-the-box for the construction industry. When we finally made the decision to go with CMiC, everybody involved in the process was really excited.”
“We needed a lot more real-time information to make real-time decisions and to keep us moving forward and succeeding in the future.”
“One of the main challenges we were facing was the misplacement of subcontractor invoices, which made cost and revenue forecasts almost impossible. The management team was shocked by payments that were still outstanding despite it being half a year after project completion.”
“This is a once in a generation selection process. We’re not going to do this every five years. Once we’ve made a commitment to CMiC, we’re committed to CMiC. And that doesn’t just go for our Toronto office but our national platform.”
“One of the key differentiators about CMiC was that it’s platform is built on a comprehensive database where we can track both our financial obligations as well as our project management obligations in one pane view.”
“We got a chance to really get the CMiC kind of thought process and culture into how we do business.”
"It’s vital to make sure costs are allocated accurately and appropriately on every project. CMiC is a game changer considering we manage over 100 project assignments every year that all follow the same construction management process."
"We were a little concerned about team adoption because the learning curve for any enterprise solution can be rough. But we quickly found that CMiC is flexible. Our accounts receivable and accounts payable no longer have to be exported to an external financial system. Once that happened, the need for tedious verifications and cross-checks was eliminated."
“We started on this road back in 2017, with a goal to improve communication between systems and assure data reliability. We’ve done that. With that foundation, we are well-positioned to take advantage of the added insights derived from embedded analytics, allowing us to expand our services and enhance the effectiveness of project delivery.”
“Our goal was not to replicate old processes. We needed to adapt our methods to match the workflows put in place through the integrated system. We knew it would be difficult for some of our people to make concessions. This was by far the hardest part of the process—but the long-term rewards made it all worthwhile.”
"For our project managers, instead of hauling around laptops to perform audits, they can easily access the CMiC mobile field app using a smartphone at the jobsite. In addition, they can approve invoices directly from workflow notifications on their phones."
“We looked to CMiC to replace all financial accounting, job costs, payroll, and hopefully, some business development tracking which we were doing in Excel.”
