Industry Expertise for Distributors
Our "real world" experience fosters an understanding and empathy that makes our partnership invaluable when clients are facing challenges to improve. These include scenarios such as downsizing in a recession, changing major suppliers, integrating an acquisition, changing out managers from "C" players to "A" players, and even learning to make a profit on five fewer points of gross margin.
IRCG participates in each phase of the consulting assignment with responsibility for the quality of the results. We stand shoulder to shoulder with our clients to make the changes work. Simply put, we spend more time with rolled-up sleeves working late nights to accomplish our goals than we spend making presentations.
Call us for a free phone consultation, or email info@ircg.com.

Generally, a client contacts us with a specific issue in mind (i.e., "we have an incentive issue or a strategic planning issue…"). However, IRCG developed the assessment process precisely because we've found that the issue the client perceives as the problem is often either a small part of a larger issue, or the real problem is something entirely different.

Information technology can be a key weapon in your competitive arsenal. It’s much too important to be delegated to programmers. But your IT spending should be driven by business strategy, not technology fads: again, it’s simply much too important to be delegated to programmers and engineers.

Sometimes Indian River becomes engaged in the early stages to "Stop the Bleeding" and help the client get back on track and regain profitability or recapture lost market share. However, sometimes we aren't engaged until the late stages where the challenges are much more difficult.
