MRU Consulting

MRU Consulting is a Vista by Viewpoint automation specialist serving construction companies in the US, Canada, and Australia. Founded in 2014 by Michael Usov, the firm is built around one focus: the technical work that generalist Vista partners refer out.

What we do:

Custom Crystal Reports development for Vista

MS SQL Server development inside Vista — notifiers, triggers, custom tables, stored procedures

Vista API integrations with CRMs, AP automation tools, document management, BI, field apps

Custom web portals that integrate natively with Vista — subcontractor compliance, client portals, field crew apps

• AP automation — OCR invoice capture, 3-way matching, approval routing, write-back to Vista
• Business process automation inside Vista

Offline ERP integration pattern (licensable architecture) — Windows Service + AWS SQS + pairing + auto-update for on-premise ERPs

What we do NOT do:

• Vista implementation (we refer out to Converge, Tilson, Cassell)
• End-user training
• Construction accounting setup
• Payroll configuration
• Generalist IT consulting
