Metal fabrication & machining
Quoting accuracy, setup reduction, scheduling around a bottleneck machine, and scrap that never makes it onto a report. Our single largest client segment.
Industries we know well enough to be useful in week one
We do not claim to serve everyone. These are the sectors where sixteen years in the Mahoning Valley means we already understand your vocabulary, your seasonality and your margin structure.
Mechanical & electrical contracting
Job costing that closes, field-to-office paperwork, truck stock, and change orders captured before the work is done rather than after.
Distribution & warehousing
Pick paths, slotting, cost-to-serve by customer, and the delivery routes that quietly lose money every week.
Outpatient healthcare
Scheduling density, no-show reduction, intake and front-desk flow, and clean handoffs to billing.
Plastics & rubber processing
Changeover discipline, regrind handling, tool availability and shift-to-shift consistency.
Professional services firms
Utilization, realization, work-in-progress that never gets billed, and capacity planning for partner-led teams.

Fit
Who we are not for
Being clear about this saves everyone a meeting.
Companies under ten people
At that size the owner already knows where the problem is. Our fees rarely make sense; a good bookkeeper often does.
Anyone shopping for cover
If the goal is an outside report that justifies a decision already made, we are the wrong firm and will decline politely.
Pure marketing or IT builds
We do not run advertising campaigns or write software. We will happily recommend Valley firms that do.
Let's look at the numbers together
A first conversation costs nothing and takes about thirty minutes. Bring one problem that keeps resurfacing — a late shipment, a bottleneck, a report nobody trusts — and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help and roughly what it would take.
