Built for Industrial Manufacturers and Distributors

Your Company

For CEOs, sales leaders, and operations and IT leaders

You may have found us yourself, or a PE sponsor or advisor may have introduced us. Either way, the sales process that worked when the founder ran it no longer scales. The team is growing, territories overlap, the pipeline is invisible, and leadership wants numbers you can't produce.

We've worked inside manufacturers like yours. We understand the sales cycle: long timelines, large orders, relationship-driven accounts, territories, and multiple stakeholders. We build commercial operations for how you actually sell, not from a software company's playbook.

Typical company: $50M to $1B in revenue; PE-backed, family-owned, or a corporate subsidiary; multiple product lines or ERPs and no unified commercial layer.

PE Sponsors

For Operating Partners and Value Creation Teams

The Gap Between Investment Thesis and Commercial Execution

Operating partners and value creation teams engage us when a portfolio company's commercial infrastructure can't support the board's reporting requirements or the next acquisition.

We work with two types of PE firms, and the portfolio company sits at the center of both.

Family Offices & Micro PE (sub-$250M funds) typically don't have a dedicated internal ops team. We serve as the commercial operations partner across the portfolio, from the first review through implementation and ongoing add-on integration. Typical portfolio company: $25M–$75M revenue, 25–300 employees, no CRM or a CRM nobody uses.

Lower middle market PE firms executing buy-and-build strategies have lean internal operations teams that aren't specialized in commercial systems. We come in as the specialist, engaged by the operating partner or value creation lead to stand up the commercial infrastructure at the platform level or at each add-on. Typical portfolio company: $50M–$500M revenue, 150–1,500 employees, multiple ERPs, no unified commercial layer.

Industries We Serve

Manufacturing & Industrial Focus

We specialize in companies across these sectors:

  • Discrete Manufacturing: industrial equipment, machinery, components, and specialty products

  • Process Manufacturing: chemicals, materials, and food and beverage production

  • Industrial Distribution: packaging, MRO supply chain, and wholesale trade

  • Industrial Services: field service, maintenance, calibration, and environmental services

    We deprioritize construction, pure software/SaaS, staffing, and professional services. Those are good businesses; they just aren't where our experience creates the most leverage.

When to Engage

Most engagements start at a decision point:

  • An implementation is running late, over budget, or away from what was sold

  • You're choosing or replacing a CRM, CPQ, or ERP platform

  • An acquisition needs one quoting, order, and customer process

  • A new VP of Sales or CRO needs to know what they inherited

  • A founder or owner has stepped back, and the sales process went with them

  • Leadership, lenders, or the board want pipeline and forecast data that doesn't exist

  • A sale of the business is coming, and commercial data needs to hold up in diligence

For PE-backed companies, the highest-impact window is 12 to 36 months after acquisition, once operations have stabilized and value creation is the focus.

Blue Chevron Solutions exists to close the commercial operations gap at industrial manufacturers and distributors. We don't serve everyone. We work where our experience creates the most value.

Blue Chevron Solutions exists for one purpose: to close the commercial operations gap at PE-backed manufacturing and industrial companies. We don't serve everyone — we serve the firms and portfolio companies where our experience creates the most value.
