We embed Mexico-based supply chain analysts, planners, and leaders into your team on monthly retainers. Same time zone. USMCA-aligned. Vetted senior talent ready to embed within a week.
The list of work requiring senior analytical judgment grows every quarter. Sourcing footprints get redrawn — China+1, dual-source, friend-shoring decisions across the BOM. AI is the fastest-growing item on the list — every supply chain function is being asked to forecast better, score supplier risk in real time, and build internal copilots, none of which works without clean, well-engineered data underneath. Tariff regimes shift and landed costs need recalculating. Compliance work multiplies.
But your headcount budget isn't expanding to match — so the modeling doesn't get done, decisions get made on stale data, and your margin slips.
Most of this work is project-shaped, not headcount-shaped. You don't need a permanent FTE — you need a senior operator (or a senior data or ML engineer) embedded for the next quarter or two. That's exactly what a fractional retainer is built for.
Every engagement is a monthly retainer. Most start at 10 hours a week to test the fit, expand to 20 once the operator proves out, and convert to full-time when the work justifies it. You pick the cadence — every retainer puts a senior operator on your team.
A senior operator on call for focused mandates and strategic advisory. The natural starting cadence — low-commitment for both sides, easy to test the fit, and the most common entry point before engagements grow.
A senior operator integrated into your team's day-to-day — your stand-ups, your tools, your cadence. The most common engagement and the sweet spot for ongoing work that doesn't yet justify a permanent role.
A full-time operator dedicated to your team. EOR-employed, with all benefits and compliance handled — without the operational overhead of permanent headcount.
The work that doesn't need to be on the warehouse floor — and increasingly doesn't need a permanent role to run it.
Forecasting, S&OP analysis, replenishment planning. Strong in Kinaxis, Blue Yonder, o9, SAP IBP, and Excel-native modeling.
Supplier qualification, RFx execution, contract analysis, category management — including USMCA-qualification and tariff-engineering work.
Carrier management, freight analysis, cross-border logistics oversight, network optimization, and 3PL coordination.
Data engineers, ML engineers, and GenAI specialists who turn supply chain data into decisions — clean pipelines first, then forecasting models, then internal copilots on top.
HTS classification, country-of-origin determinations, USMCA qualification, customs and import documentation, audit support.
When you need senior judgment but not a full-time hire — fractional Heads of Supply Chain, Procurement, and Logistics, starting at 10 hours/week.
15-minute call to understand the work, the seniority, the tools your team uses, and the cadence that fits — 10 hours, 20 hours, or full-time.
Within one week we present a short list of vetted candidates — résumés, recorded intros, and references. You interview the ones you want.
You're billed for the first month's retainer via Stripe at signing. We handle EOR contracting, payroll setup, and onboarding in parallel — typically within a few days.
Operator joins your stand-ups, your Slack, your tools. After month 3, increase hours, add roles, or convert to full-time as the work warrants.
We focus narrowly on supply chain because that's where Mexico has structural advantage — and because that's where our team's expertise is deepest. Same focus extends to the AI work we now place: data engineers, ML engineers, and GenAI specialists who know supply chain data, not generalists adapting on the fly.
Every operator we embed has worked in supply chain — analysts, planners, and specialists who know the tools and the workflow. They drop into your team and start contributing in week one, not month two.
You don't need a Mexican entity. We place candidates through established EOR partners, so onboarding is fast and the legal lift on your side is near-zero.
Most of our work is with mid-market companies — teams that need senior supply chain operators, value fast decisions, and want engagements that flex with the work. If that's you, we'll feel native.
Pricing varies by role and seniority — a mid-level demand planner doesn't cost the same as a senior procurement specialist or a fractional VP of Supply Chain. After a 15-minute scoping call we send a written quote within 24 hours covering the role, the cadence, and the all-inclusive monthly rate. Every retainer is billed monthly in advance via Stripe (credit card or ACH). Wire transfer is available as a fallback if your AP team requires it.
Yes — that's the whole point of the model. You can start at 10 hours/week to test the fit, expand to 20 once the operator proves out, and convert to full-time within 6–12 months. Cadence changes happen at the start of any month with 14 days' notice.
The first 90 days is when most fractional engagements either click or fade. Locking in three months protects both sides — you get continuity on the work, the operator gets stability, and we get enough runway to make the engagement succeed. After month 3 it's month-to-month with 30 days' notice.
Three things. Time zone — Mexico is 0–1 hours off your business hours, so real-time collaboration is the default, not a workaround. Supply chain alignment — Mexico is increasingly where the physical supply chain runs (cross-border logistics, USMCA manufacturing), so your operator is closer to the work, not further from it. And communication — Mexican professionals work with cross-border clients every day, and cultural and language norms translate cleanly.
No. Every retainer includes EOR (Employer of Record) placement — the operator is technically employed by an EOR partner, and the legal, tax, and benefits overhead stays off your plate. The price you see on the tier card is fully loaded.
For the first 90 days we'll replace the operator at no fee if it isn't working. After month 3, replacement is part of the standard engagement at no additional cost — we treat replacement risk as our problem, not yours.
Yes, and many clients do. The full-time tier is structured as the same retainer model with the same EOR backbone, just at a full-time cadence and rate. Conversion is administrative — no additional placement fees, no re-vetting, no transition friction.
15-minute scoping call. Senior operators to meet within a week. Embedded shortly after.
