OPERATIONAL AND COMMERCIAL ADVISORY FOR MANUFACTURING & DISTRIBUTION COMPANIES
Does running your business feel harder than it should?
We work with CEOs of manufacturing and distribution businesses to fix the friction between sales and operations that leads to missed opportunities, internal firefighting, and uneven growth.
The cracks are starting to show
Over time, the growing complexity of your business introduces new problems. They start small but quickly spiral. Technology feels like it is working against you. Inventory accuracy issues. Shipping errors. Customer complaints. Lost sales.
Operational Friction is Out of Control
Daily heroics and manual workarounds just to get by. Everything feels out of control.
Customer Issues Are Piling Up
Issues are slipping through to customers. Late, missed, or canceled shipments. Lost sales are piling up.
Sales Performance is Inconsistent
Unpredictable pipeline with weak follow-up. You drive the biggest sales, no one else can keep up.
Systems Can't Be Trusted
Inventory is inaccurate. Financials are unreliable. Dashboards are ignored. Manual processes everywhere.
Fractional CXO Support
Hands-on executive support without a full-time hire. We take full ownership of critical initiatives, so you can focus on other things.
Operational Execution
We fix the day-to-day operational issues causing friction across inventory, fulfillment, production, labor, quality, and delivery.
Sales Execution
We strengthen quoting, follow-up, pipeline discipline, and process. We make revenue more consistent and predictable.
Systems and Process
We implement technology and AI that works - with no manual workarounds. We build reports and data you can trust.
You don't have to fix this alone
You are still leading growth of this company, but you need an expert to guide you through the challenges. You feel alone and stressed, but you shouldn't.
We've done this before
We have deep hands-on experience with sales, operations, and technology enablement. Former COO and MIT MBA. Closed $150M in M&A transactions.
Eliminated 500+ hours of overtime for CS team
A manual workaround for a broken ERP caused the CS team at this distributor to require weekend overtime for each cross-docked container. Our team deployed an automated solution, eliminating the overtime and enabled CS to focus on high-value work.
Reduced misships by 80% for key customer
10,000+ SKUs led to regular misships and mispicks. Our team redesigned the shipping process and reduced misships by 80%, saving the account. Instead of talking the customer off a ledge weekly, sales was able to focus on growing the account again.
Improved inventory accuracy from 60% to 97%
Broken order processing and a lack of inventory control caused huge inventory inaccuracy for this $20M manufacturer. We revitalized the system and brought inventory accuracy to normal levels within a few months.
Expanded EBITDA from $4M to $9M
Sales was constrained by operational friction - won orders were getting cancelled because of inefficiency. Our team implemented new ERP, TMS, and WMS, and completed an org redesign which enabled 200% growth in 24 months.
