What we do
Operational excellence meets digital transformation for middle and lower middle market manufacturers and distributors ($10M–$500M). Core work: multi-vendor digital stack + BMA implementation, Digital Assistants & automation consulting, VA/VE and cost extraction, ops / S&OP, Lean–Six Sigma CI, and valuation / value-creation roadmaps.
Locked offer
Multi-vendor software + BMA implementation
We are not a software-only firm. We sell other vendors’ products across the stack and put BMA operators on implementation and adoption. Vendor-agnostic: every recommendation is driven by your operations. An optional knowledge / operating layer may be part of a solution — never an exclusive stack.
Core services
01 · Digital stack
Multi-vendor digital transformation
Full SaaS digital stack for middle and lower middle market companies: Website, E-commerce, CRM, CPQ, ERP, PDM, CAD, CAM, MES, WMS — plus Digital Assistants where appropriate, workflow automation, data integration, and API development. Selection, implementation, remediation, and adoption through BMA.
02 · Digital Assistants & automation
Digital Assistants & automation consulting
Bots and Digital Assistants for sales, customer service, and prospecting; workflow automation for email digests, pipeline reviews, meeting prep, research, and scheduled operating routines; document and analysis support integrated with tools your team already uses (CRM, email, docs, chat). Knowledge and operating systems so know-how outlasts turnover. A human always approves. We help select and implement the right multi-vendor tools — never a secret-sauce method pitch.
03 · New product & cost
VA/VE, product development & cost extraction
From the New Product Development and Cost Extraction practice:
- Product Value Analysis and Engineering — typically a 10–25% reduction in product cost, with a tracked, lever-by-lever cost-out program; specs, materials, and formats with customer approval before production.
- Configure / Price / Quote (CPQ) systems and product configurators for custom manufacturing — quote turnaround from days to minutes.
- Product pipeline development and optimization.
- Private branding, brand development, and go-to-market execution.
04 · Operations process
Operations process development & S&OP
Sales, Inventory, and Operations Planning (S&OP) training; inventory and fill-rate balance; shop-floor reporting and control; facility startup, move, integration, and closure; re-shoring and process development; procurement — order-to-cash / procure-to-pay, least-cost-country and strategic sourcing.
05 · Continuous improvement
Lean, Six Sigma & CapEx
Value stream mapping first — one picture of how an order becomes a shipment — then Lean and Six Sigma on throughput, OEE, changeovers, yield, scrap, and rework. Enterprise cost extraction and CapEx deployment so each dollar pays back. Visual standard work so every shift runs the same way.
06 · Valuation & roadmaps
Valuation, value-creation roadmaps & go-to-market
Enterprise valuation, value-creation roadmaps, diligence and integration support, market assessments, pipeline development, and sales training. Fractional or interim CEO, COO, CFO, CTO, CPO, and CSO roles when leadership gaps call for it.

Problems we typically solve
Where value usually hides.
Cost & inventory
Product cost too high to win business — VA/VE and cost extraction typically target 10–25% product-cost reduction; stockouts and excess inventory at once.
Systems & quotes
Quotes that take days; systems held together by spreadsheets and memory.
Leadership gaps
Fractional or interim executives when the seat isn’t ready for a full-time hire.
Capital programs
OPEX and CAPEX justification, equipment selection, and launch so spend pays back.
M&A & go-to-market
Diligence, integration, market assessments, pipeline development, and sales training.
Complimentary discovery session
A focused assessment of your operations and technology landscape — then we scope best-fit vendors and BMA delivery together. (828) 521-0297 · sales@biltmorema.com
