What c5mi does

C5MI is a management and operational technology consultancy founded in 2017 and headquartered in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, with a second federal-focused office in Reston, Virginia opened in May 2026. The firm specializes in implementing and sustaining SAP Digital Core systems—S/4HANA, Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), Transportation Management (TM), and Extended Asset Management (EAM)—and layering Industry 4.0 capabilities such as the Live Warehouse and Live Factory platforms, RTLS via KINEXON, autonomous scanning via Dexory, and AI-driven automation through UiPath and Google Cloud. Its proprietary "Operationalize IT" methodology, six-stage Maturity Model, and the Live Warehouse Experience Center (LWEC) differentiate delivery against generic SAP systems integrators.

C5MI's primary customers are U.S. federal agencies—most prominently the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), where it operates the largest SAP Warehouse Management System deployment in U.S. Federal Government history across 120+ sites and 9,000+ users, and the U.S. Navy under the LIIS CMDS contract awarded in June 2026—alongside Fortune 200 commercial enterprises. The company generates revenue through professional services engagements (SAP implementation, modernization, Industry 4.0 integration) and managed services/sustainment contracts. Pricing is negotiated per project, with federal work secured through competitive bidding on IDIQ and multi-award vehicles.

Since September 2024, C5MI has operated as a portfolio company of DC Capital Partners, which made a control investment with founders reinvesting equity. The firm holds CMMC, CMMI Level 3 (SVC/DEV), ISO 9001, and ISO 27001 certifications, and is a certified partner of SAP, Google Cloud, ServiceNow, UiPath, Tricentis, KINEXON, Dexory, and Zebra. Reported delivery metrics include a 100% go-live success rate, 90+ deployments sustained without scope renegotiation, 30% latency reduction, and 20% improvement in forecasting accuracy.
