The business

About Mainroad Group

Mainroad Group, a market leader in road maintenance and infrastructure services in Canada, particularly in British Columbia, specializes in year-round road maintenance, including winter condition management, pavement repair and road construction.

The challenge

Mainroad Group, a major player in road construction and maintenance in Western Canada, needed to modernize their data and accounting processes to keep up with growth and operational complexity.

Lack of real-time reporting across teams and departments
Inefficient time tracking processes for field crews
Disjointed data collection, slowing down decisions
Limited flexibility in their existing ERP system (Explorer Eclipse)
