How We Work
We do the work, not just advise on it.
Cameo Consulting is a boutique firm, so the work stays hands-on and senior. There are three ways in: a fixed-fee Supply Chain Value Assessment, implementation sprints that build what the assessment finds, and ongoing advisory for fractional supply chain and technology leadership. Cameo builds the tools itself rather than pointing at them from the outside.

What are the three ways to engage?
Supply Chain Value Assessment
Most clients start here. The assessment comes in two sizes: a Rapid Diagnostic that covers one domain in 2 weeks, and a Full Assessment that covers the broader supply chain in 4 to 6 weeks. Either way, you get quantified opportunities: a savings list ranked by dollar size and effort to capture, with owners and dates, not a theme deck. The fee is fixed and quoted after a 30-minute scoping call.
Implementation sprints
An assessment finds the money. Sprints capture it. Each sprint is a scoped block of work against one deliverable: run the carrier RFP, stand up the S&OP process, ship the dashboard or the tool. On one engagement, a $1B+ consumer packaging manufacturer went from dedicated fleet analysis to trucks on the road in 3 months, with $1M in savings identified in one month.
Ongoing advisory
Fractional supply chain and technology leadership for companies between a spreadsheet and a full-time hire. You get a set number of days per month, senior input on carrier negotiations, systems decisions, and hiring, and a standing owner for the savings list. Most advisory clients start after a sprint, when the question shifts from what to fix to keeping it fixed.
How I run engagements
How do I run engagements?
Hands-on and senior
Whoever scopes your work does the work. Engagements stay hands-on and senior from the first call, not handed down to a rotating project team.
Knowledge transfer is a deliverable, not a courtesy
Every engagement ends with your team able to run what was built. On a transportation engagement for a North American rail components manufacturer with $12M in freight spend, the final week was structured offboarding: the internal team took ownership of the lane benchmarks, the dashboards, and the carrier process, so the function stayed improved without me.
You own the tools
Dashboards, models, and applications get built in your environment and belong to you. No consultant login is required to refresh a number, and no license fee flows back to me.
Specialists when the work calls for it
When a project needs depth I do not carry, I bring in a specialist partner I have worked with before, and I tell you exactly who is doing what. You never discover a stranger on your project.

Ready to see what an assessment would find?
A 30-minute scoping call is enough to tell you whether an assessment makes sense and what it would cost. If it does not make sense, I will say so on the call.
