AJM Solutions combines supply chain simulation, digital twin modelling, and senior financial analysis to give Alberta businesses a tested, financially-validated plan — not a consulting report full of recommendations you can’t verify.
Simulation is not a spreadsheet model. It is a working digital replica of your specific operation — your trucks, rail cars, inventory levels, reorder logic, supplier lead times, routes, and crew schedules — running inside ARTEMIS, a purpose-built supply chain simulation platform developed by our partner ALTS Canada.
Once the model is built and validated against your actual data, we run it thousands of times. We test hypotheses — change the reorder point, pre-position assets, shift freight to intermodal, consolidate LTL loads. Each scenario produces financial and operational outputs: cost per unit, throughput, utilisation rate, stockout frequency, cash tied up in inventory.
Arthur then translates those outputs into a P50 / P80 / P90 ROI model — a range of financial outcomes with documented assumptions traceable to the simulation runs. Every number has a source. Nothing is a consulting estimate.
The simulation runs thousands of scenarios. Stress tests show what happens when a supplier fails, a rail line is delayed, or demand spikes 20%. Resilience is quantified, not assumed.
The outputs are expressed in numbers the CFO can read and the board can approve. That’s not a coincidence — it’s by design. Arthur’s role is specifically to bridge operational simulation results and financial decision-making.
Every result below was modelled in simulation before a single operational change was made. The client saw the financial case before committing to implementation.
Every engagement follows the same structure. The pilot is 4–8 weeks at a fixed fee of $20,000–$40,000. Nothing is open-ended. You can exit after Stage 2 if the hypotheses don’t justify proceeding — you pay only for work completed.
AJM leads structured working sessions with your operations and finance teams. We map what is actually happening against what your data is likely showing. We often use a tabletop exercise — a 1–2 hour scenario session (supplier failure, port congestion, equipment outage) that gets executives specific very quickly. ALTS Canada is present in discovery to ensure the data collected is exactly what the simulation needs.
Every dataset has problems. We clean and validate your ERP, WMS, or TMS exports — matching fields, resolving duplicates, correcting mislabelled records. At the end of this stage, we present 3–5 specific, testable hypotheses with projected ranges. You decide which to take into simulation. This is the exit point if the hypotheses don’t justify the investment.
ALTS Canada builds your digital twin in ARTEMIS — a working model of your specific routes, assets, lead times, inventory, ordering logic, and crew schedules. Three types of runs: baseline (replicates today exactly), scenario runs (each hypothesis tested thousands of times), and stress tests (supplier failure, demand spike, route disruption). Outputs: cost per unit, throughput, utilisation, stockout frequency, cash in inventory.
Arthur translates ARTEMIS outputs into a P50 / P80 / P90 ROI model. Every assumption is documented. Every range is traceable to the simulation runs. No consulting magic numbers. The financial case is built to withstand board-level scrutiny — because that’s usually where it ends up.
Written report: validated findings, simulation results, financial ROI model, prioritised implementation roadmap, and an executive summary designed for board or leadership team presentation. AJM presents. ALTS Canada is available for technical deep-dive. You leave with a decision-ready document, not a list of recommendations.
Freight, inventory, or procurement costs are growing faster than revenue. You know the problem is in the data somewhere — but standard reporting doesn’t show it at the right level.
New DC, intermodal shift, fleet reallocation, supplier consolidation. The decision is too large to make on a spreadsheet — you need to model the outcomes before committing capital.
Capital is tied up in inventory while stockouts still happen. The ordering logic, reorder points, and lead time assumptions have never been tested against actual data.
An acquirer or lender will look at your supply chain costs and working capital. Simulation-validated operational improvements strengthen both your EBITDA story and your asset utilisation narrative.
A previous consultant identified the problem. The solution was never validated. You need a financial case that can survive board scrutiny before you commit to implementation.
Rail, truck, intermodal, inventory-intensive distribution, or oil and gas supply chain. These are the environments where simulation produces the clearest ROI — and where the three engagements above were run.
Every engagement is priced before it starts. The pilot is fixed fee with an exit clause. No open-ended retainers on fixed-scope work.
Fixed fee · 4–8 weeks · Exit clause after Stage 2 · Full five-stage process · Written report and ROI model · AJM-led with ALTS Canada simulation
Post-pilot · 6-month minimum · 15 hrs/month · Ongoing implementation oversight, reporting infrastructure, and financial monitoring against simulation benchmarks
Full implementation support following pilot validation. Scope, fee, and timeline defined based on pilot findings. No commitment until the pilot ROI model justifies it.
The simulation capability comes from ALTS Canada and their ARTEMIS platform — purpose-built for supply chain digital twin modelling. AJM Solutions manages the client relationship, leads discovery, and translates simulation outputs into financial models the CFO and board can act on.
This is a deliberate division of labour. ALTS Canada builds models that are technically rigorous. AJM ensures those models answer the right business questions and that the financial outputs are expressed in terms that drive decisions — not just demonstrate analytical capability.
The client relationship is AJM’s. All commercial decisions, scope conversations, and escalations go through Arthur or Michael. ALTS Canada is present for technical context and simulation demonstrations, but you call AJM.
For businesses planning a transaction or ownership transition, the same data-first, financially-validated approach applies — but the tools are different. The Data Diagnostic addresses financial data quality, EBITDA normalization, and value gaps. The Succession Advisory runs the full pre-market preparation process. Both start with your data. Both produce financial outputs a CFO can defend.
Tell us the problem — even if you can’t fully describe it yet. We’ll tell you whether simulation adds genuine value for your situation, and what the pilot would look like.
Working with operations in the Middle East or North Africa?
AJM works remotely with MENA-based distribution, manufacturing, and logistics businesses. The ARTEMIS framework has no borders — our engagements run entirely through structured data sharing and video collaboration, without anyone boarding a plane.
