How McQuillan Companies Reduced Manual Effort by 64% and Future-Proofed Growth

McQuillan Companies faced outdated systems and siloed data slowing growth across their divisions. Rubik delivered an integrated digital infrastructure that cut manual processes by 64%, saved £200K annually, and unlocked a 4.6× ROI.

About McQuillan Companies

McQuillan Companies are a Northern Ireland based family run business which incorporates a diverse range of activities including civil engineering, demolition, quarrying, hazardous and non-hazardous waste management, outdoor cleaning and winter services, and analytical chemistry.

The Challenge

McQuillan Companies struggled with outdated systems and manual processes that created inefficiencies across their divisions. Siloed data and disconnected workflows made it difficult to scale, increasing administrative burden and slowing decision-making. Without a unified digital strategy, the company faced growing operational complexity and an inability to fully leverage data-driven insights for strategic planning.

The Solution

Rubik Technologies implemented a structured digital transformation plan, integrating Microsoft Business Central 365, Procore, and other key platforms to streamline financial, project, and operational management across all divisions.

The solution included automating manual processes, consolidating data across divisions, and enhancing reporting capabilities through a centralised data warehouse and Power BI dashboards. This future-focused strategy ensured a scalable and efficient operational framework that could grow with the business.

The Results

McQuillan Companies significantly reduced manual effort, improved data visibility, and enhanced cross-departmental efficiency. Automated workflows enabled faster financial reporting, optimised resource management, and improved compliance tracking.

With a robust digital infrastructure in place, the business is now well-positioned for sustainable growth, operational agility, and long-term scalability — delivering a 64% reduction in manual processes, £200K+ in annual cost savings, and a 4.6× return on investment.
