Senior Ops Expertise Without the Full-Time Cost
You need ops leadership. You don't need a $200K hire.
This Isn't Consulting
Consultants give you a report and wish you luck. Full-time hires take six months to find and cost $200K+. We're operators who show up, do the work, and leave when it's done. Engage us by the hour, by the project, or as a fractional leader. No bloated scope. No long-term commitment.
20-70% Cost Savings
Versus full-time executive
Immediate Impact
Start next week, not next quarter
Zero Long-Term Risk
Adjust as needs change
Better Than Full-Time
Focused only on what matters
Leadership & Transformation
We execute change that works and leave when you're ready.
Opening Problem Statement
"We outgrew our systems and never caught up. Every day was firefighting. We needed someone who could actually step back and fix things, not just keep them from falling apart."
That's what the GM of a $30M+ contract manufacturer told us before we started.
The Transformation
We show up, diagnose what's broken, and fix it. Your team works alongside us so they can run it when we're done.
Month 1: Assessment and Early Wins
We dig in, find where you're leaking cash, and fix the quick wins while building the bigger plan.
Outcome: Visible progress before the first invoice.
Months 2-9: Core Transformation
We rebuild the systems that aren't working. Job costing that shows what's actually profitable. Scheduling that production can trust. Collections that don't require chasing.
Outcomes: Quotes out faster. Deliveries on time. Cash stops sitting in inventory and receivables.
Months 10-12: Sustainability & Handoff
We build the operating rhythm — weekly planning meetings, dashboards that show what matters, clear ownership when things go sideways. Your team has been doing the work alongside us. Now they run it.
Outcome: Your team runs it, and you decide what's next. Scale back, move on, or tackle the next transformation with VeritOps.
What the GM said:
"We can see our P&L by manufacturing cell, customer, product line. We make more confident investment decisions and negotiate more effectively."
Real Example
The Situation:
$30M+ contract manufacturer for defense and commercial customers. Couldn't tell which jobs made money. Quoting took months. Sales and production weren't talking. Customers argued at payment time.
The Engagement:
32 hours per week over 12 months
The Work:
Built job-level cost tracking so they could finally see profit by job, customer, and product line
Rebuilt quoting process and infrastructure to respond confidently in days instead of months
Built weekly planning process that gave everyone the same view: what's coming, what's possible, what to prioritize
Rebuilt the quote process to lock down scope before work started. Every assumption documented, every order tied back
Results:
$4M+ in cash freed
On-time delivery from 60% to 90%+
Gross margin up 18%
Quoting became a predictable, repeatable process. Not a bottleneck
