Turnaround Management

At times, companies require that the principles of Profit Maximization be applied more urgently to manage and alleviate distressed situations. During such critical times, we often act as Chief Restructuring Officer, adding value by applying our crisis management leadership to abruptly bring about improvement. Decisive, independent and swift action is required to arrest the situation and execute rapid change.

The CoMetrics  professionals are lead by partners who collectively have 50 years of hands-on experience as  turnaround advisors, crisis managers and interim line managers. Our experience emphasizes profitability improvement through overhead reduction, supply chain optimization, divisional product line and customer profitability maximization and working capital efficiency. We have applied  restructuring and turnaround skills to deliver dramatic improvements in clients cash flow, profitability and returns on capital employed in the manufacturing, wholesale, retail, apparel, consumer products and service industries.

We have guided a significant number of  clients through complex turnarounds and restructurings. We have  had considerable success in conflict management and resolution among competing stakeholders. Additionally we have  developed substantial international expertise in troubled situations dealing with foreign subsidiaries, agents, licensees, joint ventures, customers and vendors.

In turnaround situations, our immediate objective is to establish creditability with all stakeholders and quickly ascertain the company’s true financial condition. In parallel we focus attention on dramatic cost reduction and working capital/d cash management. We have a proven track record in identifying core business and competencies, focusing management attention, improving communication among all parties and building employee morale. Our technology and business process improvement solutions enable turnaround clients to operate efficiently with lower cost structures well beyond the initial turnaround and rehabilitation initiatives.

Business Process Re-engineering

Regardless of industry, the increasing sophistication of the customer base along with heightened competition has mandated successful businesses to be extremely efficient in their operating structure and processes. Hiring, training, and the attendant salaries and benefits are costly at every level of an organizations hierarchy. It is imperative that core business objectives are achieved and processes are in place to transact increased revenues with fewer people. It is well established that current economic conditions mandate cash preservation, reduced CAPEX and cost controls top to bottom. If these harsh realities are weighing heavy on the leadership of an organization, it is important to look for non-core areas to create efficiencies. We ensure our clients’ organizations and processes are configured not just for near-term performance but for longer-term institutional health.

CoMetrics provides our clients with the strategic vision and expertise required to coordinate the IT, Finance and Operations functions in order to maximize efficiencies and drive cost savings in both people and processes. We emphasize the utilization of existing or "bolt on" technology to achieve tangible results.

We have a proven track record of partnering with existing middle market management teams in Finance, IT and Operations to effectuate change. Our philosophy does not allow us to rationalize and defer results based on the "new hire savior."
