The Blackrock Group

What The Blackrock Group does

The Blackrock Group is a privately held, founder-led supply chain execution consulting firm specializing in Blue Yonder WMS implementation, stabilization, and managed services for enterprise organizations. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Trophy Club, Texas, the firm operates with a senior-only delivery model where co-founders Pete and Susie engage directly with clients from initial conversation through project delivery, distinguishing itself from larger systems integrators that rely on junior staffing. The firm's service portfolio spans Warehouse Management Systems implementations and upgrades, Custom Development and Support, Managed Services, Staff Augmentation, Delivery Leadership, and short-duration Stabilization Sprints, with delivery teams based in the US, India, and Mexico to provide cost-efficient hybrid execution.

The company's proprietary product, AI Flywheel, applies augmented intelligence to supply chain environments to help teams understand complex system behavior, validate process and configuration changes before operational impact, recommend ROI-tied next actions, and reduce decision fatigue. Unlike generic chatbot dashboards, AI Flywheel is positioned as domain-specialized for execution contexts rather than speculative future AI. The firm also emphasizes vendor-agnostic capability beyond Blue Yonder, operating in mixed ecosystems that include ERP, integrations, labor, and reporting systems.

The business operates on a professional services revenue model with engagement-based pricing likely structured as quote-based fixed fees or time-and-materials for sprints and staff aug, alongside monthly recurring managed services contracts. Target customer segments include manufacturing, distribution, retail, and complex multi-node operations where order complexity, inventory accuracy, and integration health are business-critical. Go-to-market is exclusively enterprise-focused, relying on founder-led direct engagement with no channel or reseller model, and marketing presence is primarily through the company's website at theblackrock.group.
