Technology Assessment & Vendor Selection
OFFERING OVERVIEW

Modernize your tech stack. Transform your competitive edge.

Every business has its own complexities, constraints and goals. That's why the "right" technology solution doesn't exist—just the right one for your business.

We bring an agnostic, facts-first mindset to uncover opportunities for growth based on a deep understanding of your supply chain. We help discern the art of what's possible from real-world capabilities.

 

Based on decades of hands-on experience, our System Assessment & Vendor Selection offering is fast, defensible and tied to value. From defining requirements to RFP creation and negotiation support, we help you evaluate, narrow down and only buy what you need.

Together we can build the right tech stack to operate your end-to-end supply chain, including APS, OMS, WMS, LMS and TMS.

Define business & technology requirements

We help you document where you want to go, including functional and non-functional requirements, while aligning stakeholders on your next stage of growth 

  
Manage RFP & vendor selection We partner with you to navigate the complex vendor landscape and determine if your requirements are a good match for a vendor's capabilities and product roadmap while objectively evaluating trade-offs

FAQ

Getting started with a System Assessment & Vendor Selection

How fast can we get started? A typical System Assessment & Vendor Selection project takes 6–12 weeks. Note: Our timeline is dependent on stakeholder availability and data readiness.
Am I required to do a System Assessment? No. We will meet you where you're at in your transformation journey. If you've already documented what's working and what's not and internally aligned stakeholders, we can begin with the Vendor Selection.
Best-of-breed vs. suite—do we take a position? We will present both paths with quantified trade-offs across integrations, capabilities and total cost of ownership. Our recommendation(s) will be based on the agreed-upon decision criteria.
Do we have preferred technology vendors?

No, we are vendor agnostic and an independent system implementation partner. We are guided by your company's best interest and supply chain requirements.
After the selection, can we help as an implementation partner?

Yes. We offer multiple implementation models and we're happy to provide a proposal and cost estimate based on your needs.
