Toronto, Ontario, May 13, 2025 – CMiC, the leading Next Generation Construction ERP provider, recently announced a new partnership with Nelcore Construction, a commercial construction firm specializing in design-build services for office buildings, industrial facilities, and retail spaces across central Ohio.
As the construction firm continues to expand its portfolio, Nelcore’s leadership recognized the need for a fully integrated platform to replace their existing suite of financial and project management point solutions. Seeking a solution that would enhance operational efficiency, financial accuracy, and scalability, Nelcore embarked on a comprehensive evaluation process, ultimately selecting CMiC as the technology partner to support its long-term growth.

Business Challenges Faced: Manual Processes and Disconnected Financial Systems
Nelcore Construction, a growing firm in the construction sector, encountered several operational inefficiencies that hindered productivity and financial accuracy. These challenges included:
Time-Consuming Manual Data Entry: The reliance on their current financial management system requires significant manual input to align project costs with overall business financials. This process was inefficient, leading to delays in reporting and an increased administrative workload.
Lack of Integration Between Financials and Project Management Applications: With financial data and project tracking operating in separate systems, Nelcore Construction struggled to maintain real-time visibility into project costs. The absence of automated communication between accounts payable, receivables, and the general ledger resulted in fragmented reporting.
Limited Visibility and Data Accuracy: Without a centralized system, ensuring up-to-date financial data across projects required extensive validation. This lack of real-time synchronization increased the risk of discrepancies and misalignment between field operations and back-office financials.
Recognizing these challenges, Nelcore Construction sought a fully integrated solution that could eliminate manual inefficiencies, enhance financial accuracy, and provide real-time insights across all projects.
Evaluating Software Solutions: Nelcore Construction’s Path to Selecting CMiC
Nelcore Construction explored multiple software options before selecting CMiC as its all-in-one solution. The company prioritized a platform that could unify financial management and project controls while providing scalability for future growth.
During the evaluation process, Nelcore Construction considered NetSuite by Oracle, Procore, and Autodesk. After a series of interviews and internal discussions, CMiC emerged as the preferred choice due to its ability to integrate financials, project management, and field operations into a single system.
CMiC’s implementation team, with Nelcore’s collaboration, soon developed a phased implementation plan. The initial phase focused on field operations, allowing teams to familiarize themselves with the platform before rolling out company-wide financial management functions, including general ledger and accounts payable. While an early go-live was considered, the full implementation is scheduled for September to align with operational objectives.
CMiC Applications in Nelcore Construction’s Product Roadmap
As part of their strategic rollout, Nelcore has integrated various CMiC applications into their product roadmap to strengthen operational efficiency and support scalable growth. These include:
CMiC Financials: General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Project Costing, Human Capital Management (including Payroll, eTime & ESS), Change Management, Project Billing, Asset Management and Opportunity Management.
Project Management and Controls: Prequalification & Procurement (Subcontractor Pre-Qualification and Management) and Drawing & Construction Documents (Document Management)
Additional Features: Communication Management, Collaboration Management, Enterprise Content Management (ECM), Site Management and Mobile Functionality.
Third-Party Integrations: DocuSign.
Anticipated Business Outcomes: Efficiency, Scalability, and Long-Term Growth
Nelcore Construction is set to realize substantial benefits from its partnership with CMiC. The company is prioritizing efficiency across all departments, ensuring that project engineers, executives, accounting teams, and business development professionals can seamlessly leverage the platform to streamline their daily tasks. CMiC’s implementation is expected to enhance operational effectiveness while creating a structured framework for growth.
The decision to deploy CMiC early in Nelcore Construction’s expansion journey reflects a forward-thinking strategy. With the company’s workforce projected to grow in the coming years, establishing a fully integrated system from the outset will facilitate smooth onboarding and training for new hires. Tanner Nelson, Founder of Nelcore Construction, underscores this approach: “Rolling out CMiC at this stage ensures that as we bring in new talent, they step into a well-structured system that supports efficiency from day one.”
Beyond efficiency, customization remains a focal point. Nelcore Construction is working closely with CMiC representatives to refine system modifications that align with its operational needs. Nelson emphasizes the importance of this tailored approach, stating, “We are making adjustments that fit our workflows, so the system works for us — not the other way around.”
With CMiC as a core component of its business strategy, Nelcore Construction is laying the groundwork for sustained growth, optimized operations, and a seamless transition as the company scales.
