Case Study: Mid-City Excavating achieves real-time job visibility and improved billing accuracy with Explorer Software

Mid-City Excavating - Customer Case Study

Mid-City Excavating Ltd., an Edmonton-based multi‑million dollar excavating and prime contractor, experienced rapid growth during the Alberta oil boom and began to suffer operational strain. Project managers relied on spreadsheets that were never fully up to date, leaving accounting with delayed, error-prone billing and limited visibility into job performance.

Mid-City implemented Explorer Eclipse, a single integrated ERP with modules for Project Management, Job Costing, Payroll, Purchase Orders and Business Analytics. The system’s real-time reporting and easy-to-build analytics gave managers and accounting accurate job status at a glance, reducing billing errors, improving profitability and accelerating cash flow.
