ERP Implementation Done Right: How to Scale Your Construction Business Without the Horror Stories

Your software vendor promises a smooth implementation. So why do so many construction companies end up with a $70K mistake and a team ready to quit? In this episode of Built to Scale, Mason is joined by Bryan Burkholder, founder of Cadence and a specialist in ERP implementation and change management for construction and lower middle market businesses. Bryan breaks down why so many technology implementations go off the rails and what companies between $10M and $100M in revenue can do to make sure their next systems upgrade actually delivers the ROI they were promised. From the real cost of skipping change management, to the chicken-and-egg question of fixing your books before or after going live, to why AI is about to force every construction business to rethink their entire tech stack.
