Challenges

Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing operated nine branches in Georgia, Florida, Texas, Tennessee, and North Carolina before it was purchased by a publicly traded company. It ran on a project management and financial system for construction firms. The system frequently crashed, Work-in-Progress calculations took days to complete, and field teams had no direct access. With no direct access, the field service team had to constantly call the finance team for data.

“Before Acumatica, we calculated everything manually. We literally downloaded data and had a shadow system to be efficient.”

Cassandra Moore, Chief Financial Officer

Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing Inc.

ERP Solution

Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing selected Acumatica for its modern, cloud-based platform and robust construction functionality. The platform included AIA billing, SOX compliance, and seamless integration between inventory and job costing. Acumatica provided an intuitive user interface and a mobility application that gives real-time data access for field teams. It is flexible, offering configuration options to tailor reports based on different parameters alleviating the need for outside developers.

“Acumatica had the most robust product roadmap, the most thorough understanding of the construction industry, and the best overall user experience.”

Scott Lyons, VP of Process Improvement

Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing Inc.

Outcome

By implementing Acumatica, Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing gained complete data visibility across all nine operations. Field teams now have real-time access to information from the field, and can upload information via their smart phones. Alpha Insulation reduced its complex Work-in-Progress (WIP) calculations from 1.5 days to just 10 minutes. It gained a SOX compliant system making it easier for the finance team to create reports for its new parent company.

“In my opinion, there isn’t a better product out there than Acumatica for a specialty subcontractor.”
