Case Study: Carlson-LaVine modernizes operations and attracts talent with Acumatica Construction Edition

Carlson-LaVine Enlists Acumatica Construction Edition to Attract Talent & Build for the Future

Carlson-LaVine Inc., a Minneapolis-based construction firm of about 45 employees specializing in healthcare, banking and grocery projects, faced a competitive labor market and an aging Sage 300 CRE system that relied on manual workarounds, multiple reports and cumbersome file storage. Leadership wanted a modern, user-friendly platform that connected to Procore, reduced administrative overhead, and made the company more attractive to new talent as veteran staff retire.

The company implemented Acumatica Construction Edition (with Procore integration and Acumatica Payroll), adopting a cloud-based, consumption-licensed ERP that automated processes and eliminated duplicate reporting. Results included dramatically faster payroll (from 1.5 days to about 10 minutes), consolidated billing in two clicks, fewer processing steps, improved communications and faster onboarding — giving Carlson-LaVine greater efficiency, better recruiting leverage and a scalable platform for future growth.
