Magnolia Ridge Advisors helps contractors and operating businesses finish ERP deployments, lead the implementation project, and build the integrations that make estimating, field data, payroll, and your ERP work as one system.
Software rarely fails on features — it fails on execution. We focus on the deployment, coordination, and connective work that gets platforms into production and keeps them there.
End-to-end implementation leadership — from assessment through go-live and stabilization. We also step into deployments that have already stalled and get them moving again.
A dedicated project lead who owns the plan, drives the vendors, and keeps every workstream accountable — so your leadership team gets a status update instead of a status meeting.
Purpose-built connections between the systems you already own — estimating, field time tracking, payroll, and ERP — so data moves automatically and matches to the cent, instead of by spreadsheet and hope.
Adjectives are cheap. Here's what a recent engagement actually delivered — the specific mechanics, not just the outcomes.
Took over project management for a large commercial mechanical/HVAC contractor whose ERP implementation was months past its go-live date — coordinating three software vendors and dozens of users across multiple trades.
Designed a five-integration program connecting the client's estimating spreadsheets, field time-tracking hardware, and payroll system to their ERP — turning every open question into a proven design or a named decision before a line of code shipped.
Estimators click one button in their Excel quote workbook and a draft quote appears in the ERP in seconds, with the quote number written back automatically. An enforced margin gate blocks below-margin quotes outright — it doesn't just flag them — and totals reconcile to the cent before anything is created.
A verification workflow checks every field of a change order against the ERP automatically. The verified sheet becomes the audit record — no manual cross-checking, no reconciling two versions of the truth.
Approved field hours for 100+ workers move into the ERP every night, per project and per cost code. A daily reconciliation report flags any hours that don't match instead of silently dropping them.
A secure cloud connector architecture on AWS means ERP credentials are never passed around a team in a file. Built once, it's now reused by four separate integrations — each one faster to ship than the last.
Every engagement starts with understanding where things actually stand — not where the status reports say they stand.
A structured, hands-on review of your systems, your data, your team, and your vendors. We find the real blockers.
A realistic roadmap with owners, dependencies, and milestones — built around how your team actually works.
We run the plan: driving vendors, closing issues, completing testing, and keeping decisions moving.
Go-live is the start, not the finish. We stay through stabilization until your team owns the system with confidence.
Magnolia Ridge Advisors is built on a simple observation: most software problems are actually project problems. Every engagement is led personally by the principal — running ERP go-lives, rescuing the ones that have stalled, and building the integrations that make systems from different vendors act like one connected platform. No account managers, no hand-offs — you work directly with the person doing the work.
Tell us where things stand. We'll give you an honest read on what it will take to get there.
