We help mid-market distributors and manufacturers find, prioritize, and build the AI investments that move revenue — not just the ones that cut headcount.
Modeled from engagements across mid-market distribution.
The goal is to build value — not resentment.
These are findings from work already done — not projections.
Most companies move through these in order. Each one stands alone.
Understand where you are and what to do first.
For companies that know AI should be a priority — but haven't committed to a direction yet.
Move from knowing what to do to actually doing it — on a fixed budget, with proven tools.
For companies that have direction and want to move fast without building the wrong thing.
AI moves fast. We keep you from falling behind — and answer the questions that come up between projects.
For companies that have started and don't want to figure out every new development on their own.
We have built AI at scale in some of the largest industrial companies in the world. We bring that pattern recognition to mid-sized distributors.
The frameworks we use aren't adapted from general consulting literature. They were built working on the same problems at larger scale — then refined through dozens of mid-market engagements. We know what works at $250M because we've seen what it took at $25B.
These are findings from work already done — not projections.
We publish our thinking. The Five-Stage AI Maturity Framework structures how we assess and sequence AI investments across distribution organizations. Our ROI methodology separates efficiency returns from revenue returns — a distinction that consistently changes which opportunities clients prioritize first.

Most distributors we talk to leave with 2–3 concrete ideas, whether they engage us or not.
