AJM Solutions — supply chain consulting and fractional advisory | Calgary & Edmonton

Your number is in your data. We'll find it.

Most advisory firms show up after the decision is made — to sell, to restructure, to fix the supply chain. By then, a sophisticated buyer or lender has already found your number for you, and priced it against you.

AJM goes in first. Before the event. Before the negotiation. Before a single process changes or a dollar moves.

AJM works with owners and senior leaders who know something is wrong — or something is coming — but can’t yet prove where the value is or where it’s leaking.

We go into the operational data. We find the exact number. We work out the fix before you commit to anything. Then we stay until the improvement shows up in your actual financials.

Your number is in your data. We’ll find it.

We stay until the savings are confirmed in your numbers

Most consultants hand over a report and move on. Every AJM engagement runs through implementation — and we stay until the savings are in your numbers.

We stay until the work is done

Most consultants hand over a report and move on. Every AJM engagement runs through implementation. We stay until the savings are real, the process is changed, and your team knows how to hold the improvement.

“We did not guess. We built a digital model, proved the fix, and stayed until the savings held.”

Every recommendation is simulation-proven

Before a single route changes, order is placed, or dollar is committed, we model it. Every AJM recommendation is tested before implementation. Where analytical modelling is required, AJM works with independent specialist resources to ensure findings are grounded in verifiable evidence before any decision is presented to a client.. No assumptions. No surprises.

“We found $68M in unnecessary spend in one data snapshot, before any changes were made.”

Senior operators, not junior analysts

Arthur Madden: thirty-five years as Chief Financial Officer and board director. Michael Cooper: 38 years of international field operations across Canada, the Middle East, North Africa, and Eastern Europe. Michael Yeung: capital markets and private equity — the buyer’s perspective on every transaction.

The people who scope your engagement are the people in your data.

We work with CFOs, COOs, and operators who know something is wrong in their supply chain but cannot yet prove where — or what it costs them.

We find the exact number. Before you change a process or spend a dollar.
