Case Study: Makai achieves compliance-ready, scalable ERP and wins prime government contracts with Unanet ERP GovCon
A Unanet Case Study
GovCon Startup Makai Soars, Elevated by a Ready-to-Scale ERP System
Makai, an 8(a)-certified GovCon startup founded in 2020 near Boston, provides weapons system engineering services and a proprietary edge‑networking product (HONU). Founder Stephanie Hutch needed a government‑contracting ERP that was intuitive, scaled with growth, and delivered strong timekeeping, expense management and DCAA‑ready compliance and reporting so the firm could win and manage DoD contracts without the headaches of clunky legacy systems.
Makai implemented Unanet ERP GovCon for its familiar interface, automated time/expense workflows, compliance tools and scalable configuration options; Unanet’s supportive onboarding let the team start small and add functionality as needed. The system helped Makai secure three prime contracts, streamline reporting that satisfied DCAA and program managers, simplify onboarding and timekeeping, and position the company to grow into additional Unanet features.
