Case Study: Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing achieves SOX compliance and automates WIP reporting with Acumatica

Specialty Subcontractor Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing Leverages Acumatica Construction Edition

Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing Inc., a specialty commercial insulation and waterproofing subcontractor with multiple branches across the Southeastern and South‑Central U.S., faced major operational challenges after being acquired by a public company. Their legacy project and financial system was unreliable and not SOX compliant, forcing finance to perform manual WIP and percent‑complete calculations and respond to frequent field information requests by phone—taking roughly 1.5 days each month.

Alpha deployed Acumatica Construction Edition, a cloud‑based, SOX‑compliant construction ERP with AIA invoicing, real‑time field reporting, inventory‑integrated job costing, and self‑service reporting. The solution automated WIP (cutting monthly calculation time from about 1.5 days to ~10 minutes), eliminated status calls, improved data visibility and audit readiness, reduced IT risk by broadening platform expertise, and provided a scalable foundation for future growth.
