We are generalists in method and specialists in category. These are the sectors where we have run enough engagements to know the suppliers, the price drivers and the seasonal traps.
Machined parts, castings, fasteners, resins, coatings and MRO. Should-cost models built from material weight, cycle time and regional labour rates — not from last year’s quote plus inflation.
Med-surg consumables, dental supply, lab reagents, facilities services and GPO contract review. We frequently find that the GPO tier a group is enrolled in no longer matches its actual volume.
Inbound freight programmes, vendor allowance capture, private-label sourcing and inventory turn improvement across multi-branch networks.
Non-food categories, disposables, packaging, chemicals and equipment service contracts, plus distribution agreements with cost-plus transparency.
Commodity volatility management, project buy-outs, subcontractor prequalification and jobsite logistics scheduling.
Bid compliance support for organisations selling into or buying under public procurement rules, including documentation trails that survive audit.
Our office is in Hartford and most on-site work happens within a day’s travel of it. Remote and hybrid engagements run nationwide, and we travel for anything involving a plant walk or a supplier audit.
CT, MA, RI, NH, VT, ME — on-site as standard, usually weekly during execution phases.
NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD — on-site fortnightly, remote in between.
Project-based travel for plant reviews, supplier audits and negotiation sessions.
Remote delivery with scheduled site visits at defined project milestones.
