EMA Engineering & Consulting Replaces Disjointed Legacy Systems with Modern ERP and CRM from Unanet

Rapidly growing MEP engineering firm selects integrated platform to improve project visibility and new business process

DULLES, Va., June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Unanet, the leading provider of project-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry today announced that EMA Engineering & Consulting (EMA) has updated its software to Unanet AE ERP and CRM. The new integrated solution will improve project management and forecasting, and provide more visibility into their new business pipeline, helping the firm improve overall business operations.

"I'm looking forward to better, automated visibility into our potential and existing projects with Unanet," said Cameron Symes, Chief Strategy Officer at EMA. "Unanet's software was more flexible than other solutions we reviewed, and its automation has the potential to save us from hiring additional labor because it will allow our current staff to efficiently manage approximately 50% more project revenue."

EMA provides mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering and technology design to architects and building owners in Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas, primarily for the education, healthcare, and government sectors. With more than 250 employees and growing rapidly, the company needed a more robust, purpose-built ERP and CRM solution to match its growth. Its previous legacy systems couldn't synchronize with each other creating data silos that made it difficult to inform business decisions. The systems also didn't efficiently manage workflows, projects or resources.

After a thorough review of software options, EMA chose Unanet AE ERP and CRM for its purpose-built solution, which will streamline their new business pipeline and accounting processes, as well as provide deep and predictive insights into their existing projects to inform leadership on achieving stronger business outcomes.

Unanet's recently released 2025 AEC Inspire Report revealed that the top challenges facing AEC firms today are resource management, finance and accounting visibility, project management, and business development. Many firms reported that their current tools lack the business intelligence capabilities needed to effectively address these issues.

More than 1,850 architecture, engineering, and construction companies select Unanet ERP and CRM because they have the right mix of functionality and accessibility while also offering the ability to scale and grow seamlessly.
