Operations and margin
You might be here if…
Gross margin has slipped and nobody can say exactly why.
Quotes take days, and you win fewer than you used to.
Rework, freight or discounts are “just part of business.”
Every decision lands on your desk.
Your best managers are stretched thin.
Method
What we do
Trace the leaks.
We rebuild margin by product, customer and job from your invoices, freight and rework records, so you see where profit actually goes.
Fix pricing and quoting.
We set pricing rules, build a standard price book, and shorten the time it takes to get a quote out.
Tighten the work.
We find the rework, scheduling and hand-off problems behind the numbers and fix the biggest first.
Build the management layer.
Decision rights, spending limits, a weekly meeting and a one-page scorecard, so decisions stop piling up with you.
Deliverables
What you get
A margin analysis by product, customer and job
