Practice Areas

Building Your Business

In working with start-ups and existing companies, we help with product development and strategic marketing, customer acquisition and retention, operations and sourcing, supply chain, and strategic alliances. Reclipse helps you think differently, define opportunities to leapfrog the competition and position for truly sustainable market advantage – setting new standards of market and operational excellence.

Working with you to create an integrated business plan, we help your company identify where you want to go and how to get there. We have experience in Clean Tech, High Tech, and Consumer Goods start-ups and are knowledgeable business people who bring thought leadership and practical techniques to guide your team to be their best.

Project and Program Management

A good leader can be the difference between the success or failure of a program or project. Many companies believe that anyone can bring a program in on-time and on-budget and will ask someone who is already fully utilized to drive a program "in their spare time." Reclipse consultants are professionals with extensive executive and project management skills and experience in process improvement, logistics/supply chain, operations start-up and customer on-boarding, as well as technology development and implementation programs. We understand what is required and can navigate the potholes and problems that inevitably surface.

In addition to our ability to help you define your vision and strategy, we are implementation experts who can take the big picture and break it down into bite-size pieces, create implementation plans, and execute those plans.

Let us show you how we can help you save you money and time through the placement of a functional or project manager to manage and facilitate your project to a successful and on-time completion.

Sustainable Supply Chains

Supply chain sustainability is a business issue affecting an organization's entire operating network in terms of environmental, risk, and waste costs. Sustainability in the supply chain is increasingly seen among senior executives as essential to delivering long-term profitability and has replaced monetary cost, value, and speed as the dominant topic of discussion among procurement, manufacturing and logistics professionals.

At Reclipse Group, supply chain sustainability is a core competency that we have been sharing with our clients since long before the global spotlight began shining so brightly on this critical subject. We can guide you through the 3 Phases of Sustainability – Getting the basics right; Learning to think sustainably; The science of sustainability – and help you implement a collaborative and successful sustainability program throughout your entire supply chain (see related article in the Resources Library).

To further support these initiatives, Reclipse established an "Office of the Chief Sustainability Officer" for companies that want to focus on sustainability without adding a permanent staff position. We provide interim sustainability professionals who work as members of our clients' supply chain management teams and have Chief Sustainability Officers (CSO), Directors and Managers who work part- or full-time to provide sustainable supply chain guidance to our client companies.

Collaborative Operations and Supply Chain Management

How do you know you are working with the right providers who will deliver the high quality product or service you are expecting at the right cost and on schedule and work collaboratively with not only you but your other service providers? How do you integrate all of these players into your operation so their presence is transparent to your customers? Reclipse can help you successfully manage these challenges and relationships through planning and network analysis, supplier selection and sourcing, technology solutions, and the global coordination of all of your providers and partners.

Globalization of demand and supply management is constantly creating new challenges to a company's operations and processes. The way your goods physically move from your supplier's supplier to your customer or your customer's customer can be a critical competitive differentiator and advantage. Business is becoming as much about the coordination of customer services, information, and support as it is about the movement of physical goods. Reclipse's core experience and expertise in designing, improving, and implementing integrated, collaborative solutions will enable you to better deliver your product and service customer orders.

Business Process Management

Process improvement, done well, can make an unprofitable area or business profitable; but it takes time, focus, and cross-functional business participation. Reclipse consultants have many years of process re-engineering experience utilizing proven techniques (e.g. Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma) and are veteran process improvement and change management leaders.

We provide a framework within which we work with your staff to successfully take costs out of your business processes and put efficiencies in - increasing your staff's productivity and your company's financial performance.

Technology & Systems Solutions

Every day, new technology products and services are introduced into the market to help companies increase data visibility and make business more efficient and cost effective. Leveraging the Internet and data analytics can mean gaining a sustainable competitive edge. There are best-of-breed and enterprise technologies to choose from, Cloud computing and SaaS have emerged to quickly add software and functionality without the investment in hardware and programming staff, and wireless network infrastructure provides connectivity while also presenting continuing security challenges.

We can help you to define the requirements, select the best solutions, and implement the technologies that will enable you to better manage your business and improve productivity.
