What Pemeco Consulting does

Pemeco Consulting is an independent, client-side ERP and technology advisory firm headquartered in Toronto, Canada, with additional U.S. offices in Arizona, California, and Texas. Founded approximately in 1980, the firm has delivered over 700 ERP projects across 40+ countries, serving discrete and process manufacturers, wholesale distributors, technology companies, and PE-backed platforms. Its core technology assets are the proprietary Milestone Deliverables implementation methodology and the 8 Dimensions of Vendor Fit selection framework, both codified over 45+ years and distributed through a published methodology book (1,400+ copies sold globally).

The firm's product portfolio spans six interconnected service lines: ERP Selection, ERP Implementation, Project Rescue for failing deployments, Business Process Improvement, Contract Negotiations and Risk Management, and Digital Strategy/Enterprise Architecture/Industry 4.0. A seventh practice, Private Equity & M&A Integration Consulting, addresses pre-deal due diligence, post-close ERP implementation, and portfolio governance. Pemeco maintains vendor-neutral positioning, explicitly accepting no commissions or referral fees from ERP vendors such as Epicor, SAP, NetSuite, Infor, and Oracle, which differentiates it from systems integrators tied to vendor channel economics. Distribution is entirely direct via senior advisors, supported by a content-led inbound funnel (blog, video library, free scorecards, webinars, newsletter) that funnels prospects into consultation bookings.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services fees on selection, implementation, optimization, and rescue engagements, supplemented by one-time sales of the Milestone Deliverables methodology book at $129 USD. The firm is privately-held, bootstrapped, and founder-led, with Peter Gross as Founder and President, Jonathan Gross as Managing Director, Dorothy Litwin leading business development, and Jeffrey Stevens serving as U.S. Practice Director. Customer concentration is diversified across named logos including Tokyo Electron America, Kalmbach Feeds, Peerless Instrument, and Mecaer Aviation, with no publicly disclosed revenue figures.
