Caliber Holdings

What Caliber Holdings does

Caliber Holdings is a privately held technology sourcing solutions and IT procurement platform operating as a holding company over four subsidiary brands: Caliber Solutions (enterprise advisory for digital transformation and technology deployment across seven technology areas), noVAR (direct-to-distribution procurement for commoditized IT hardware and software with transparent pricing), XCV Partners (supplier management and vendor negotiation for recurring technology services such as telecom, connectivity, and managed services), and Cavalry Solutions (managed services and operational technology integration acquired in April 2025). The company's core technology is a Total Procurement Platform that integrates multiple sourcing models, including direct agreements, reciprocal partnerships, and trusted technology sourcing and distribution allies such as Sandler, AppDirect, and Bridgepointe. Cavalry Solutions extends the platform into IT/OT integration, Zero Trust implementation, and 24x7x365 monitoring for critical infrastructure operators.

Caliber Holdings generates revenue through a mix of professional services (advisory), transaction fees (procurement), subscription/recurring fees (supplier management), and managed services (implementation and ongoing management). Pricing is custom and quote-based with multi-year contracts, and no public pricing tiers are disclosed. The go-to-market combines enterprise advisory sales, self-serve procurement through noVAR, channel partners via AppDirect marketplace and strategic allies, and direct managed services delivery. The company is headquartered in the United States with a Cavalry Solutions office in Greenwood Village, Colorado. Caliber Solutions was recognized as a Top Two Partner by AppDirect in May 2025 with over $1 million in sales through that channel, and President Ricky Fritzsching leads the holding company.
