Allen Brothers Construction, a growing commercial and residential contractor, struggled with disconnected systems, manual data entry, and a lack of integration between Procore and their ERP.

Allen Brothers relied on multiple disconnected systems that required double entry, slowed project management, and created reporting inconsistencies. Project managers operated in Procore, but critical financial and operational data had to be re‑entered manually into their ERP. Payroll was costly, complex, and not tailored to construction needs — contributing to daily operational friction.

Real Results, Fast Impact

The Challenge

“We realized we’d outgrown our old systems. They just couldn’t keep up with our volume or complexity.”

Allen Brothers’ previous ERP couldn’t integrate with Procore, forcing project managers to toggle between platforms and manually replicate data. The lack of real-time visibility created inefficiencies between field and office teams. Payroll was unnecessarily complex and expensive, and internal reporting was inconsistent due to disconnected systems.

Project managers were stuck operating in two disconnected systems. We wanted our field teams to live inside Procore and have all their transactions flow directly back to our ERP—without manual duplication or confusion.

The Solution

With Aktion’s guidance, Allen Brothers evaluated modern ERP platforms and selected Acumatica Construction Edition for its flexibility, construction‑specific features, and cloud‑based usability.

Aktion tailored the system to fit Allen Brothers’ existing workflows — rather than forcing the business to change — ensuring long-tenured employees could adopt the platform easily.

Key integrations were coordinated via Agave APIs, connecting:

  • Acumatica
  • Procore
  • Miter Payroll
  • Employee Navigator
Acumatica’s flexibility and Aktion’s willingness to adapt the software to our business… that made all the difference.
