Origin Story

The Room Went Silent.

Tension

It was 11pm on a Tuesday when the VP of Operations called. His voice had that particular edge that means the bleeding has already started. "We've lost $340K in inventory over six weeks. Two consultants. Neither found it. Finance is asking questions I can't answer."

He'd bought dashboards. Reports. Visualization tools. All of them told him he had a visibility problem. None of them told him where to look.

Reveal

We walked his floors for three days. Not with laptops. With our eyes. We mapped every handoff, every point where information entered the building and went dark.

It wasn't one big problem. It was seventeen small ones, all connected — a receiving workflow creating phantom inventory, a pick sequence adding 22 unnecessary steps per shift, and a reorder trigger set 18% too high across 847 SKUs. None of it in the reports. All of it bleeding money, every single day.

Resolution

The room went silent when we showed them the number. Not because it was catastrophic. Because it was fixable. The kind of fix you can't see until someone builds you the right lever.

We built it. Inventory accuracy went from 71% to 98.6% in eleven weeks. Finance stopped asking questions.

The biggest problem isn't the one you're fighting. It's the one you've never seen. Every operation has a lever — a single constraint that, once removed, transforms everything downstream. We find it.

What You Get

A precision diagnostic. Not a pitch deck.

In two weeks, we walk your floors, interview your team, and find the leverage point that's costing you the most. Then we show you exactly how to pull it.

1

Workflow Map & Bottleneck Analysis

Every process mapped from order intake to delivery. We identify where your team loses hours to manual work, duplicate entry, and disconnected systems.

2

AI Opportunity Scorecard

Each bottleneck scored by ROI potential, implementation complexity, and time to value. You'll know exactly which problems to solve first and why.

3

2-3 Quick Win Recommendations

Specific, implementable AI solutions that deliver ROI within 30 days. Not theory. Systems your team can start using immediately.

4

Investment & Timeline Roadmap

Clear cost estimates, expected returns, and a phased implementation plan. Take it to your leadership team with confidence.

Your waste has a price.

You already know something's off. You feel it in the overtime hours, the stockouts, the margins that don't add up. The problem isn't the pain — it's that you don't know exactly where it's coming from. That's what the audit reveals.

Is This For You?

Built for the $50M–$500M distributor

The VP of Ops at a mid-market industrial distributor. You've got real scale, real complexity, and real pressure on margins. If any of these sound familiar, we should talk.

The Process

From audit to ROI in 8-12 weeks

Fast wins first. Lasting transformation second. You see results before the quarterly board meeting.

01
Week 1-2

Audit

We walk your floors, interview key people, map every workflow. Find the constraint that's bleeding you the most.

02
Week 3-4

Design

Redesign workflows to be AI-first. Prioritize by ROI. Present a roadmap your leadership team can greenlight.

03
Week 5-8

Deploy

Implement the quick wins. AI forecasting, automated reorders, intelligent routing. Your team sees results, not demos.

04
Ongoing

Embed

We stay as your fractional AI department. Refining, training, and managing AI operations alongside your team.

Why Us

Not another consulting firm

The Big 4 will charge you a million dollars for a strategy deck. Generic AI agencies will build you a chatbot and call it transformation. We do neither.

We've walked your floors. We've managed vending operations for Pratt & Whitney and Raytheon. We've fought stockouts at 2am. We know what breaks because we've been the ones fixing it for three decades.

That's the difference between someone who understands AI and someone who understands your business.

The Diagnostic

We audit your current workflows — reorder triggers, warehouse staffing, inventory accuracy — and identify the highest-leverage automation opportunities.

2

The Blueprint

You get a prioritized implementation roadmap with projected ROI for each workflow change. No black-box AI — every recommendation is explainable.

3

The Lever

We implement the top 2–3 automations in 90 days. You see results in the first month — reduced reorder errors, recovered FTE hours, improved fill rates.

Common questions

What does "fractional" mean?
Instead of hiring a full-time AI team (which costs $500K+/year), you get senior-level AI expertise embedded with your team 2-3 days per week. Same caliber of talent at a fraction of the cost.
Is the audit really free?
Yes. No credit card, no contract, no obligation. We invest in the audit because when you see what's possible, you'll want to keep going. That said, we only take on 3 new clients per quarter, so we're selective about who we audit.
How is this different from what McKinsey or Accenture would do?
They'll send junior analysts to write a report. We send operators who've managed vending programs for aerospace manufacturers and run multi-site distribution operations for 30 years. We don't just recommend changes. We implement them.
What kind of ROI can I expect?
Our clients typically see 20-25% reduction in stockouts, 15-20% operational cost savings, and 30-40% reduction in manual processing time within the first 8-12 weeks. The audit itself will give you specific projections for your operation.
Do you work with companies outside of distribution?
No. We specialize exclusively in industrial distribution. That's how we deliver results faster than generalist firms. If you're in manufacturing, retail, or another sector, we're probably not the right fit.
