Empowering Businesses through Collaboration
When you engage Collaborative Compass, we typically commence with a comprehensive assessment to identify your most significant improvement opportunities. This assessment sheds light on the current state of your operations and supply chain and outlines the potential for organizational enhancement. Rest assured, we provide clarity on the scope, approach, and rationale behind our work, with the ultimate objective of achieving lasting, positive impacts. In other cases we are deployed for specific and known challenges at both a site and platform level.
Recent Engagement Results
8x EBITDA
A $250M PE-owned CPG company engaged us for a 4-6 week sourcing and procurement improvement project, which evolved into a fractional role and various ad hoc projects driving organizational transformation throughout FY2023. This resulted in an 8x EBITDA and 9x cash improvement despite a 10% revenue budget shortfall.
$1.2M Inventory Reduction
A $35M PE-owned pool and spa equipment manufacturer facing growth challenges due to excessive working capital benefited from a bespoke materials management and purchasing tool we developed. This Power BI tool was deployed within six weeks and led to a $1.2M inventory reduction within six months.
Expanded Retail Presence
A private $1.5M apparel startup lacking international trade and distribution experience engaged us for several fractional roles to plan, manufacture, import, and distribute products within eight months. The brand is now expanding its retail presence and self-funding future growth.
