“Implementing Acumatica with Dominate Solutions has been transformational for our business.
We now have real visibility into our projects, profitability, and productivity—and the confidence to continue growing without guessing.”
— Todd H., VP | Bright Star Solutions
The Solution: A system built around real-world operations
Dominate Solutions partnered with Bright Star to implement Acumatica Construction Edition, then tailored the platform to match how their crews actually work in the field.
What We Delivered:
Acumatica Construction (Financials, Projects, Payroll, Equipment)
OpsEdge for real-time field and crew data capture
Custom T&M billing extensions
Automated multi-union payroll workflows
Crew-level job costing and reporting
“What sets Dominate Solutions apart was the level of effort and understanding. Instead of a generic demo, they used our actual data and showed us what the system could do for our business.” — Todd H., VP
The Results: Clarity replaced chaos. Confidence replaced guesswork.
Today, Bright Star operates with full visibility across every job, crew, and cost:
Real-time P&L on every project
24/7 field data capture across 16 states
Union payroll running on autopilot
Faster closes and more accurate forecasting
Systems that scale as fast as the business grows
“What used to take days or even a week during close can now be done by one person in minutes. The data is exactly what we need. We’re no longer throwing data into a black box and hoping it comes out okay.” — Todd H., VP
Bright Star Solutions
~122% Revenue Growth | 350+ Employees | 16 States
Bright Star Solutions is a fast-growing commercial utility and specialty trade contractor, delivering maintenance and construction services to some of the largest investor-owned utilities in the U.S.
With crews operating across multiple states, responding to 24/7 storm events, and managing union labor, Bright Star’s operations demand accuracy, speed, and real-time decision-making. When growth accelerated, their systems had to keep up.
The Challenge: Growth outpaced their systems
As Bright Star scaled, their legacy setup became a liability:
Outgrew QuickBooks
Manual & Excel-based timesheets
Complex multi-union payroll
Slow, painful close process
Limited confidence in forecasts and margins
“QuickBooks worked for us at one stage, but as we grew, it became impossible to get accurate, project-level data.” — Todd H., VP
This wasn’t a one-time implementation. Dominate Solutions continues to work alongside Bright Star—refining workflows, expanding reporting, and building tools that support the next phase of growth.
“Dominate didn’t just implement software—they learned our business, down to the crew level, and helped adapt Acumatica to how we actually operate.” — Todd H., VP
