Introduction
DPR Construction is a recognized leader in complex and sustainable building projects, consistently delivering excellence in industries like healthcare and advanced technology. Despite their success, rapid growth began to highlight inefficiencies in their internal systems. Disconnected workflows, manual financial processes, and limited data visibility slowed their ability to scale. To address these challenges and prepare for future expansion, DPR partnered with CMiC to overhaul their operations and implement an ERP solution designed specifically for the construction industry.
