From Disconnected Systems to One Source of Truth: How IOC Construction Grew with Acumatica

Growth is a good problem to have, until your systems can no longer keep up.

For IOC Construction, rapid growth meant managing multiple business entities, hundreds of projects, and an increasing amount of financial data. But behind the scenes, the construction company was relying on four separate instances of QuickBooks, Salesforce, manual data entry, and paper project files.

As the business became more complex, so did managing it.

When Multiple Systems Create More Work

IOC Construction started as a small handyman and painting company before expanding into construction, roofing, siding, maintenance, and other services.

Each new division added another layer of complexity.

Because its systems did not communicate with one another, employees had to manually enter information across multiple platforms. Intercompany transactions were difficult to reconcile, project costs were challenging to allocate accurately, and teams often struggled to determine which information was correct.

At one point, six employees were entering data into the company’s various systems every day.

For a growing construction business, that was not sustainable.

Why IOC Construction Chose Acumatica

IOC needed a modern ERP platform capable of bringing accounting, projects, customer information, and operations together.

After evaluating several options, the company selected Acumatica Construction Edition.

Acumatica allowed IOC to consolidate its separate entities while providing tools specifically designed for construction, including job cost accounting, project management, field service, intercompany accounting, and CRM.

Instead of information living in different systems, IOC gained a single source of truth that employees could access across the organization.

Less Paper, Less Data Entry, Better Visibility

The move to Acumatica transformed many of IOC Construction’s day-to-day processes.

The company was able to:

• Consolidate four separate entities into one connected system

• Reassign six employees who had previously focused on data entry

• Eliminate more than 300 paper project folders

• Automate intercompany transactions and other workflows

• Improve project and financial visibility

• Give field and office teams access to the same real-time information

Project managers can now access project information from the field while accounting, operations, estimating, and sales teams work from the same data.

That means fewer errors, less time spent searching for information, and a clearer picture of how the business is performing.

Technology That Can Grow with the Business

Perhaps one of the biggest benefits for IOC Construction is knowing its technology can support future growth.

Instead of adding more disconnected software and manual processes as the company expands, Acumatica provides a scalable foundation that can grow alongside the organization.

For construction companies managing multiple projects, locations, divisions, or entities, that flexibility can make a significant difference.

Is Your Construction Software Keeping Up?

If your team is entering the same information into multiple systems, relying heavily on spreadsheets or paper, or struggling to get a clear picture of project profitability, your technology may be creating more work than it solves.

At HOOPS, we help construction companies implement Acumatica with a hands-on approach from planning and implementation through training and ongoing support.

The right ERP should not make your business more complicated. It should give your team the information and tools they need to work smarter and grow with confidence.
