Where we help most

When teams need momentum, clarity, and ownership — fast.

  • Stabilization when shorts, inventory, or integrations spike
  • BY WMS configuration, development, and performance
  • Delivery leadership across ops + IT

Industries & environments

Manufacturing, distribution, retail, and complex multi-node operations — especially where order complexity, inventory accuracy, or integration health is business-critical.

Outcomes we’re hired for

  • Reduced shorts and improved fulfillment reliability
  • Faster stabilization after go-live
  • Cleaner integrations and fewer “mystery” exceptions
  • Operational throughput improvements with less chaos
How we work

A simple approach that holds up under pressure

1) Understand reality

We map the truth: system behavior, process intent, and where execution breaks.

2) Create momentum

We prioritize what moves the needle and drive it to closure with clear ownership.

3) Make it stick

We harden the fix: training, monitoring, governance, and sustainable workflows.

Engagement models

  • Stabilization Sprint (2–6 weeks) — triage, root cause, burn-down
  • Delivery Leadership — lead workstreams, stand-ups, go-live readiness
  • Managed Services — monthly ownership with measurable outcomes
  • Senior Staff Aug — targeted expertise embedded in your team
  • Hybrid Delivery — onshore leadership with India & Mexico-based development teams

What you can expect

  • Direct access to Pete & Susie
  • Clear weekly outcomes and risk visibility
  • Documentation you’ll actually use
  • No “consulting fog” — straight answers

“Clients don’t hire us for theory. They hire us when execution is hard, timelines are real, and the system has to work on Monday morning.”

AI Flywheel

AI that serves execution — not demos

The AI Flywheel applies augmented intelligence directly to supply chain environments to help teams understand complex systems, validate decisions, learn from execution, and focus on actions that drive ROI.

What it helps you do

  • Explain what’s happening — and why
  • Validate process/config changes before impact
  • Recommend next actions tied to ROI
  • Reduce noise and decision fatigue

What it is not

  • Not a chatbot bolted onto a dashboard
  • Not speculative “future AI”
  • Not replacing planners or operators
  • Not dependent on perfect data

FAQ

Quick answers

Do you only work on Blue Yonder WMS?

Blue Yonder is a core specialty, but we’re vendor-agnostic and regularly operate in mixed ecosystems (WMS + ERP + integrations + labor + reporting). If it touches execution, we can help.

How fast can you engage?

For urgent stabilization needs, we can often start with a short discovery + triage window and move quickly into execution.

What makes you different from larger firms?

Senior-only delivery, founder access, and direct ownership. Less overhead, less translation, more execution.

Can you do managed services long-term?

Yes. Many clients start with stabilization or a delivery need and transition into a managed services model for continuous improvement and support.
