Supply Chain · AI Enablement
Find the money in your supply chain. Build the systems that keep it.
Cameo Consulting is a boutique supply chain and AI consulting firm for mid-market companies and private equity portfolio companies. Cameo works alongside each client's operations team to identify savings opportunities, and then builds the tools used to capture them.
What can Cameo Consulting help with?
Cameo Consulting has two connected practices, one that identifies supply chain savings and one that builds the tools used to capture them.

Strategy that ends in working software, not a slide deck
Cameo Consulting works inside the client's operation, alongside its staff and with its freight, inventory and system data. Cameo typically stays on until the tools are live and the team has been trained to run them. The work is led by operators with hands-on supply chain experience who also build the technology.
Network Design & Optimization
From 13 warehouses to 5, at roughly 20 percent lower cost
A national distributor of consumer goods had grown through acquisition until the network no longer fit the business. Cameo Consulting modeled the footprint and benchmarked freight across a set of network scenarios. The selected design consolidated 13 warehouses to 5, with roughly $8M a year in savings and service levels maintained.

How we work
Cameo starts with an intro call.
The call covers how the operation runs today and where savings opportunities are likely to be. If the work is not a good fit, Cameo Consulting will say so on the call.
Cameo sizes the opportunity.
Cameo Consulting reviews the company's data, freight spend and facilities (with site visits when necessary) and returns a ranked list of what to fix, with an estimated value for each item.
Cameo builds the fixes.
Cameo Consulting works alongside the team to build the models, tools and AI automation, which the company's staff then own and run after the engagement.
Companies that already know where the problem is can start directly on the work. Network studies, freight RFPs, data builds and AI projects can begin without a full diagnostic.
