In this Acumatica Construction Success Story, American Asphalt is well known in the state of California for its ability to do more high-quality work faster than its competitors. After operating for 20 years on American Contractor, other siloed software, and storing information on paper, the company needed an integrated cloud-based solution. They implemented Acumatica Construction Edition, gaining real-time data access in the field, flexible reporting, and a financial platform that easily integrates with third party applications.

American Asphalt operates border to border in California pouring concrete and asphalt for Residential Communities, Commercial Properties, Shopping Centers, and Public Works. The company uses state-ofthe-art equipment and incorporates the latest in asphalt pavement, Caltrans slurry surfacing, sealcoating,
striping and concrete technology. Headquartered in Hayward, CA, American Asphalt employs 250 and generates nearly $100 million in annual revenue. Rather than working on a few large projects that take six months or more, American Asphalt completes about 1,400 jobs a year, with most taking 10 days or less to complete.

The construction firm is self-performing and has a high percentage of repeat customers including HOAs,
commercial business parks, stadiums and large commercial companies and cities. It has two operating
units, one covering Northern California and the other, Southern California.

Acumatica had the best roadmap, the best understanding of the construction industry, and the best user experience on the web,” Waggener continues. “I felt confident Ajoy (Krishnamoorthy, EVP Product Management,
Acumatica) and his development team were headed in the right direction with the overall product.”
He was impressed with Acumatica’s strategy to create a core financial platform while also creating
standalone industry-specific editions like Acumatica Construction Edition, and invested heavily in R&D.
He also liked that Acumatica’s development roadmap included construction payroll, but that American
Asphalt wasn’t locked into that option if it preferred a different payroll provider.
