Case Study: Hartzell Construction achieves a 15% increase in gross margins with Acumatica

Hartzell Construction Taps Acumatica for Integrated Construction Management

Hartzell Construction, a rapidly growing remodeling and restoration firm in Pompano Beach, Florida, needed modern tools to support its expansion into plumbing and new construction. Owner Anderson Pinto found the legacy on‑premises software (ProContractor) difficult to use, limited by expensive per‑seat licensing, and unable to provide timely job costing, reporting or mobile access — forcing manual, paper‑based workflows and slowing decision‑making.

Hartzell implemented Acumatica Construction Edition (financials, job costing, project management, CRM) with integrations like ProEst and Smartsheet, giving project managers real‑time mobile access and a single connected back office. The change eliminated paper processes, increased adoption across 40 users with consumption‑based pricing, improved visibility and inventory control, and delivered measurable results: at least a 15% improvement in gross margins, a 20–25% reduction in finance time spent supporting project managers, and large productivity gains that position the company for continued growth.
