Case Study: McStain Neighborhoods achieves improved profitability and 25%+ faster month‑end close with Velosio (Microsoft Dynamics SL + BuildTopia integration)

McStain Neighborhoods Packs up Inefficiencies and Makes the Move to Improved Profitability

McStain Neighborhoods, a Denver-based sustainable homebuilder, was outgrowing QuickBooks and needed to integrate back-office accounting with its BuildTopia construction management system and replace manual, time-consuming processes. McStain engaged Velosio and selected Microsoft Dynamics SL integrated with BuildTopia to gain better control over financial and project data.

Velosio implemented Microsoft Dynamics SL, developed a Power BI project-accounting template, and provided on-site training and ongoing support, achieving go‑live in four months. As a result—per McStain—reporting and intercompany processes improved, redundant data entry was reduced, month-end close time dropped by at least 25%, and the company can now manage growth targets of 500%+ while making more informed, profitability-driven decisions.
