About Us

Bristlecone is a leader in advising clients on how to maximize the strategic value of their supply chains and assisting them in unleashing that value rapidly through effective use of enabling technologies. With our singular focus on rapidly addressing procurement and supply chain challenges, our clients have realized the promise of the Bristlecone Advantage:

 

Value through focus
All we do is help clients realize value from their supply chain. We work with clients to address every type of supply chain issue, including planning, sourcing, collaboration, execution, analytics and data management.

Relevant global presence
With offices (and client engagements) across North America, Europe and Asia, we have the physical presence and the ability to support you in your most important markets and supply chain locations.

First-hand, real-world experience
Our staff isn´t made up of just career consultants. Many of us came to Bristlecone with years of business experience in manufacturing, supply chain management and procurement management. We have first-hand experience in dealing with the issues you face everyday.

Focus on business results
With a full range of services across the supply chain spectrum – strategy and process consulting, systems implementation, systems management and outsourced business services – we know that your success doesn't come just from technical implementations, no matter how sophisticated. Count on Bristlecone to deliver to your business goals.

Rapid time to value
Supply chain is all we do, and as such our engagement delivery models are tuned to supply chain processes and systems. We also bring strong project and program management, combined with proprietary, pre-configured software frameworks and service solutions. When you engage Bristlecone, you can be confident of realizing business value far faster.

Full accountability
We believe in putting our money where our mouth is. You don't have to worry about the clock ticking away. Our engagements are structured on a fixed fee/fixed time basis unless you prefer otherwise, and when appropriate, are tied to generating business results.

Bristlecone is recognized by leading analysts such as Gartner as a leader in the supply chain domain. Our system implementation engagements have included a number of supply chain solutions based on both the SAP and Oracle software platforms.

Bristlecone has strategic relationships with both SAP and Oracle. We actively participate in the development of various software products for both companies, as well as in development and integration of third party software products into both product suites.

Part of the US $15.9 billion Mahindra Group – one of India´s most respected industrial conglomerates – Bristlecone is headquartered in California's Silicon Valley and has offices across the United States, Canada and in the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Singapore, Malaysia and India.

 

Client Speak

Steelcase

 

“This was a very successful deployment thanks to the outstanding support from Bristlecone. They combined their domain experience, industry knowledge and deep understanding of the Spend Management processes with their very extensive technical knowledge.

 

The Bristlecone team was able to solve any issues and help us continue along our implementation path. We look forward to the continued roll-out of SPM to Steelcase users around the world in cooperation with Bristlecone and we will also work closely together with Bristlecone to move the environment over into our on-premise infrastructure after a successful year of reaping the savings via the hosted version."
