Your Sage ERP is one of your organization’s most valuable business assets. Whether you’re using Sage 100 Contractor, Sage 300 CRE, or another Sage solution, it’s the system your teams rely on every day to manage operations, projects, financials, and business performance. 

As AI drives unprecedented investment in enterprise infrastructure, many organizations are discovering that future technology investments may cost more—and take longer—than expected. 

Instead of investing in another generation of on-premises hardware, more Sage customers are choosing a different path: opting for a Sage cloud migration.

Join Aktion Associates as we explore why cloud migration is becoming a strategic business decision—not just an IT project—and how organizations are protecting their Sage investment while building a more resilient, scalable foundation for future growth.

Overview

ReArch Construction is a construction and real estate management firm with a diverse portfolio that spans construction projects, property management, leasing, and capital improvements.

As the organization continued to grow and balance both construction and real estate operations, leadership recognized the need for a modern, cloud-based ERP platform that could support increased complexity while improving visibility and efficiency across the business.

Working with Aktion Associates, ReArch transitioned to Sage Intacct Construction, building on a long-standing partnership and creating a scalable financial foundation designed to support both day-to-day operations and long-term strategic goals.

We wanted a system that could evolve with us and give us better insight into our data without adding complexity.

Key Results

Challenges

As ReArch grew, the finance and accounting teams needed greater visibility into project and property data, easier access to information for remote and distributed teams, and improved efficiency during critical periods such as month-end and year-end close. The leadership team also wanted to ensure that both construction management and real estate operations could be managed cohesively, without introducing separate systems that would increase complexity and administrative overhead.

There was nothing fundamentally broken in how we operated, but we knew we could be more efficient and more informed with the right tools

Solution

After evaluating several ERP options, ReArch selected Sage Intacct Construction for its modern, cloud-based architecture, strong reporting and dashboard capabilities, and ability to support both construction and real estate accounting within a single platform. Sage Intacct’s intuitive drill-down functionality, real-time reporting, and flexible structure aligned well with ReArch’s goals for improved financial transparency and easier access to data. 

Being able to quickly drill into transactions and understand where numbers are coming from has been a huge improvement—especially during close and audit periods.
Christa Vandevord
CFO

Aktion Associates played a critical role throughout the process, providing ERP advisory services, implementation process leadership, and hands-on guidance tailored to ReArch’s operational needs.

Integrations That Support Daily Operations

Sage Intacct serves as the financial hub for ReArch, integrating with key systems used across the organization:

Procore supports field operations and project management, enabling seamless collaboration between project teams and accounting.

Miter HR Payroll simplifies payroll processing with a direct integration that improves accuracy and efficiency.

TimberScan Titanium automates accounts payable workflows and approvals within a cloud-based environment. These integrations allow ReArch to maintain a connected technology ecosystem that supports both operational and financial teams. 

“The payroll integration alone has been a big-time saver for our team ... It’s significantly reduced manual effort and improved accuracy.”

Working With Aktion

ReArch’s relationship with Aktion spans many years, back to 2009, and that long-term partnership played a key role in the success of the Sage Intacct implementation. Aktion’s team worked closely with ReArch to ensure the system was configured to reflect how the organization operates. Clear communication, responsiveness, and deep industry knowledge helped keep the project on track and aligned with ReArch’s expectations. “We’ve always appreciated Aktion’s willingness to listen, adapt, and make sure we’re set up for success—not just during implementation, but for the long term,” said Christa Vandevord.

User Adoption & Looking Ahead

Since going live, ReArch’s accounting and project teams have continued to adopt new Sage Intacct features and capabilities. While some efficiencies were realized immediately, leadership sees even more opportunity ahead as additional functionality is rolled out and refined.

“Once the team started seeing the time savings and visibility Sage Intacct provides, adoption really picked up,” shared Mary Ann Wood. “We know there’s even more value we’ll unlock as we continue to build on what we’ve implemented.”

The Bottom Line

By partnering with Aktion Associates and implementing Sage Intacct Construction, ReArch Construction has established a modern ERP foundation that supports both construction and real estate operations. The result is improved financial visibility, streamlined workflows, and a scalable platform that positions the organization for continued growth. “We’re in a much better position to understand our business and make informed decisions,” said Christa Vandevord. “Sage Intacct and Aktion have given us a system that supports where we are today—and where we’re going next.”

Construction is getting more complex, from multi-province jobs to tighter budgets and shrinking talent pools. If you’re still running Sage 100 Contractor or Sage300CRE and managing jobs in decade-old spreadsheets, you’re holding your business back instead of setting it up up for what’s next (more…)

Construction is becoming increasingly complex, with projects spanning multiple states, tighter budgets, and shrinking talent pools.

In 2025, tracking the productivity of your labor force isn’t optional—it’s essential. Between rising costs, skilled labour shortages, and high client expectations, every hour on-site needs to count. When productivity data is captured and used well, it can boost profitability across every job.

For many contractors, labor is the biggest cost. That is why so many construction owners devote the time and resources to measure the productivity of every type of labor that goes into a job.

How to Measure Labor Costs:

This will enable you to calculate team performance on each task. Having this data will help you in real time (on each current project), and in the future when you bid for and take on new jobs.

The Importance of Job Costing Visibility

On each project, job costing provides visibility into how labor productivity measures up to the estimated budget, and helps you identify areas that need attention. Here’s another real-time bonus to productivity tracking: when an unforeseen event occurs, such as a pandemic or disruptive weather, you have the data you need to make your case for a change order.

Once you have a storehouse of reliable productivity data, that data becomes an asset for every future project you bid on. Your data will inform every facet of your business. It will give you a benchmark for estimating, budgeting, and scheduling, as well as for performance-based bonus programs. Each step in the process relies on the prior one: estimating informs your budgeting, scheduling, and then labor on the job. Your data can make your bids more competitive – and insulate your profits.

If you have just recently started looking at your software options, Sage Intacct Construction software is a flexible financial management solution that adapts to your workflows and reporting requirements.
