AMEND

What AMEND does

AMEND LLC, doing business as AMEND Consulting, is a Cincinnati, Ohio-based management and operations consulting firm with 51–100 employees that delivers five integrated service lines — AI Applications & Analytics, Business Operations & Performance, Enterprise Technologies, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), and M&A Integration — to enterprise and mid-market clients, primarily manufacturers (chemicals, packaging, automotive, plastics, stair parts) supplemented by private equity portfolio companies, technology/SaaS firms, and retail/distribution businesses. Its value proposition centers on embedding consultants directly into client operations ("working with your team, not around them") to deliver measurable outcomes including 75% scheduling-time reductions, 15–40% throughput improvements, 16% downtime reductions, and cost savings in the $240K–$3.3MM range per engagement.

The firm's underlying technology stack is Microsoft-centric: Power BI for dashboards and reporting, SSIS and Power Automate for ETL, Azure SQL as a data warehouse, and an integration fabric spanning Salesforce, Infor, Encompix, Quickbooks, Syspro, TMW, Freshdesk, and Liveperson. AMEND has productized a portion of its manufacturing IP into "Batched" (an Advanced Planning and Scheduling tool at batched.io) and accumulates reusable BI dashboard frameworks — for instance, 150+ BI tools and 80% automated reporting at a single chemicals client. AI/ML capabilities include predictive analytics (linear and logistic regression, classification trees for churn modeling), optimization (capacity forecasting, scheduling), anomaly detection for supply chains, and stated generative-AI / NLP work for BI; these are led by a Partner for AI & Data Science and supported by Senior Data Scientists and Data Engineers.

AMEND runs a sales-led professional services model: project-based, quote-based, no public pricing, with demand generated via website contact forms, phone inquiries, content marketing (extensive case studies), and LinkedIn/Instagram presence. The firm operates two distinct talent and capital strategies alongside consulting: a 16-week Analyst Program that develops approximately 50% of full-time consultants internally, and an affiliated investment entity (AMEND Ventures) that takes equity stakes alongside consulting engagements, most notably the October 2018 acquisition of a majority stake in Stairtek with Cincinnati investor RKCA. Additional venture activity includes the acquisitions of Robert Rothschild Farm and Innovative Labeling Solutions (the latter subsequently sold, generating a +5% EBITDA outcome and owner exit). AMEND is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or public listing.
