[Boston May 11, 2021] – Global supply chain and operations consulting firm Maine Pointe announced today that it has been ranked number one on Consulting US’ list of the top supply chain consulting firms in the United States.

“Hard on the heels of our inclusion on Forbes’ Best Management Consulting Firms List 2021, I am delighted that Maine Pointe has been recognized as the number one supply chain consulting firm confirmed by Consulting US’ methodology,” said Steven Bowen, Founder and CEO. “This is a tremendous achievement by our team to outperform the well-known global players and niche firms out there in the market through our Total Value Optimization (TVO) approach. Our commitment to service excellence combined with our ability to drive accelerated and measurable digital supply chain transformation continues to set us apart from the rest.”
The 2021 list is a compilation of some of the largest and best-known global consultancies in the business, with Maine Pointe edging out the “Big Five” consultancies and dozens of other well-recognized firms. Maine Pointe’s stellar performance, consistent delivery of results and high level of return on engagements has resulted in several high-profile awards for the Boston-based consultancy. In March 2021, Maine Pointe was also recognized by Forbes in their list of America’s Best Management Consulting Firms for the second consecutive year.
“Maine Pointe has delivered significant results to clients, even during the extremely difficult challenges of the pandemic, and as we now begin to emerge from that period we are looking forward to even greater opportunities going forward. In the post-Covid era companies will be looking not only to recover, but to adapt their business models to address the demand/supply imbalances driven by growth as US and European economies re-open.”
Maine Pointe’s methodology, deep level of industry expertise and results-driven approach to engagements all contributed to the firm’s top ranking. Maine Pointe’s clients consistently return for subsequent engagements, taking advantage of the firm’s industry-leading ROI of between 4:1 and 8:1. The outstanding return on investment enjoyed by Maine Pointe clients not only provides a near-term benefit, it also delivers long-term, sustainable results and dramatic improvements in EBITDA.
In addition to delivering consistent, measurable results to clients, Maine Pointe is recognized as a preeminent thought leader in the industry. Maine Pointe’s popular Forbes podcast series, led by Bowen, delivers thoughtful discussions with leading CEOs, including a discussion with Sun-Maid CEO Harry Overly about the evolution of their iconic brand and how supply chain improvements helped grow EBITDA for this 100-year-old company. Maine Pointe has also been featured several times on TD Ameritrade Network’s “Market on Close” news segment.
The ranking is decided based on a unique database of more than two million data points spanning insights from clients and consultants. Capabilities are assessed on the breadth of depth of supply chain offerings, advisory and implementation expertise in, the track record of consulting projects delivered and the quality of thought leadership.
