Case History: Boon Logic
Industry: Technology
Type of Service: Strategy, Go-to-Market, Preparing for a Successful Raise
Problem: This early-stage SaaS company, focused on complex AI and anomaly offerings, needed a variety of support at the executive level.
Solution: Because Timmaron has connections from three decades in Silicon Valley, it was able to connect this company to the C-suite of large technology and investment companies. We also helped the firm with strategy and business development.
Results: We gave Boon Logic the ability to reach Fortune 1000 companies as well as companies in the Private 250, which has resulted in the firm gaining new growth and greater business opportunities.
“As an early-stage AI technology company, we searched for a partner who truly knew AI and SaaS and was known globally for their applied technology expertise. We’ve had a multi-year relationship to refine our strategy, define our product commercialization and roadmap, meet with many interested investors, and network with key Silicon Valley players.”

Case History: SynerFuse
Industry: Life Sciences
Type of Service: Strategy, Go-to-Market, Preparing for a Successful Raise
Problem: The mission of this company is to relieve chronic back pain and addiction to opioids through the development of a device to be used in place of disk fusion surgery, while also incorporating neuromodulation.
Solution: Timmaron’s founder served on the company’s Advisory Board, helping it with fundraising, building its road to commercialization, and general corporate strategy.
Results: Clinical trials have been successful and commercialization is in sight.
“Barb and her Timmaron team helped us build our strategy and our commercialization/go-to-market plans. They also supported us as we conducted our raises, and have stayed by our side as a critical business partner through all the challenges medical device companies face. We look forward to working with Timmaron Group as we grow.”

Case History: Mayo Clinic
Industry: Life Sciences
Type of Service: Transformation
Problem: In studying the long-term effects of healthcare for an individual, this project for a longtime client turned into examining the question of whether diabetes patients would need insulin or other diabetes medicine if they ate the right foods.
Background information: In this long-term project with Mayo Clinic, we found that the largest costs in the healthcare system were related to diabetes. We did a study with three age groups that tested if they were on the right foods, would they need insulin and other medicines for their diabetes?
Solution: All the results were conclusive that, if the patient was able to maintain a healthy diet, their need for insulin and related drugs would go away.
Results: This project evolved into studying the problem of how the healthcare provider gets people to eat healthy foods. It is still an ongoing project.
“The Timmaron Group has been a decade-long strategic partner in our R&D assessments and testing; in our research; in our top-10 diagnostics results by continent, state, county, and communities; in studying and recommending care pathways for urban and rural settings; in medicine reconciliation for formularies; best practices with our physicians and our insurance partners; and in educating our leadership in how to become AI-ready in their practices to advance health.”

Global Supply Chain & Transportation
Companies of all sizes rely on supply chains to source materials, produce goods, and deliver orders. But in this day of global conflicts, cyberattacks, strikes, and other unrest, businesses are constantly on alert to improve their supply chain operations. Timmaron Group has much experience leveraging technology to build more agile and adaptable supply chains.
Case History: CH Robinson
Industry: Global Supply Chain
Type of Service: Applied Technology
Problem: This 4PL global transportation company needed to improve profitability.
Solution: Timmaron Group applied its AI technology expertise to identify the costs to CH Robinson for rail, barge, and truck transportation.
Results: In doing our analysis of the financials, we were able to improve profitability by 19% year-over-year and reduce cost by 31%, resulting in significant EBITDA Improvement.
“The Timmaron Group provided a three-year strategic plan and a one-year operation plan for our global supply chain business. When the container shortage crisis hit, they were able to help negotiate the costs of containers down by 35%, while gaining access to the product we needed to meet our customer needs.”

Retail / Wholesale / Distribution
To meet the demands of consumers, we focus on customer experience and global supply chain. Most retail POS systems are still tethered to a checkout area, versus being with consumers on the floor, where their purchases are more likely and instantaneous. We have designed several IoT point of sale systems that massively improve customer experience and sales, and report in real time by item and by store what was depleted each day. Results have included a 250% increase in sales, movement in CX from A3 to A5, and reduction of 70% inventory-carryover between seasons.
Consumer Packaged Goods
We’ve worked with consumer product organizations on pressing strategic, operational, and organizational issues. To create competitive advantage today, CPG companies need methodical strategic planning and disciplined execution. We can help your teams define, review, and optimize strategies at all levels – whether corporate, business unit, or a single category or brand.
Case History: PepsiCo - Frito-Lay Division
Industry: Consumer Packaged Goods
Type of Service: Strategy
Problem: Sales were dropping and PepsiCo wanted to triple their sales in six months before the Super Bowl.
Solution: We found that the best way to do this was to promote and sell the division’s two main products. We analyzed the problem and found ways to increase sales. We ended up developing a cap that had brain sensors on it that could measure the raw, human, natural response to stimuli. We used this cap in a focus group and found key things that PepsiCo could do to increase their sales.
Results: This project allowed PepsiCo to increase the division’s sales fivefold within the six-month period. It was the highest sales year for the two products in the company's history. And the cap we developed continues to be used in focus groups across industries.
“Timmaron Group assisted PepsiCo in a multi-year project to enhance our global supply chain, and in innovative efforts to increase product categories by region prior to Super Bowl season. By applying creative technologies to increase the consumer intake of salty goods and beverages, sales increased 10X+ year over year.”

Financial Services
With our experience working in the VC and private equity communities, as well as with major banks, and clients in the financial software space, we can help financial services companies address the challenges they face in today’s changing world.
Case History: JPMorgan
Industry: Financial Services
Type of Service: Applied Technology
Problem: The status quo for portfolio management took too much time to analyze and balance portfolios – caused by many inefficiencies between communication channels, and the processes and technologies used at the time.
Solution: We improved portfolio wealth management by applying AI. We diagnosed the inefficiencies and derived and developed solutions to solve and rework the systems and technologies the client had in use.
Results: Within a nine-month window, we increased efficiency by 3300%. We made the job of portfolio management much more streamlined.
“Applying AI to our portfolio wealth management business, we increased our efficiency by 3300% over nine months by working with Timmaron.”

Industrial / Manufacturing
Most manufacturers follow Six Sigma and Six Sigma Lean processes, in which Timmaron Group has achieved our Black Belt across the globe. This industry category originally included discrete and process manufacturing and has since expanded into chemicals, oil & gas, and biochemicals, which intersects with life sciences. Timmaron Group is heavily focused in people, process, and product. For this broad industry category, we leverage our processes as much as we do our design and buildout of specialty technologies to be used in manufacturing.
Government & Education
Timmaron Group partners with several global government agencies and sovereign nations on innovations and solutions. In the U.S.A., we are government-certified, with top-clearance workers in various arms of the military, on land and sea, in marine and in space. We are well-versed in grant and federal funding mechanisms to help the needs of our clients.
Case History: U.S. Army - ‘Factory to Foxhole’ Project
Industry: Government & Education
Type of Service: Supply Chain Optimization
Problem: Getting crucial supplies and life-needs to secure outposts in war zones and front lines with less than 24 hours notification.
Background Information: In the midst of the U.S. Army's insurgence in the Middle East, it was a challenge for them to operate on short timeframes, especially when trying to get resources to their troops.
Solution: Timmaron designed a full Global Supply Chain model, identified the Army’s needs, and worked with select factories to facilitate deliveries within the 24-hour timeframe.
Results: We were 100% accurate in our 17 missions, which all met their deadlines safely and properly fed and serviced the troops.
Investment Capital
Timmaron Group has more than 25 years of experience helping companies conduct their fundraising, whether it involves angel investment, venture capital, or private equity. We offer a wide range of experience in preparing your team for a raise, whether early-stage, mid-stage, or late-stage, including IPOs, all the way through execution and allocation of the raise for the best possible outcome.
Global Sustainability
This industry sector is a key focus for Timmaron Group. Many companies across the globe are trying to address what it means. To us, it focuses around three key elements:
- The lifecycle of life (health sustainability)
- The lifecycle of energies (utilities and environmental sustainability)
- The lifecycle of food (food as medicine; circular sustainability with food)
All three combined address how to build sustainable communities. Timmaron Group has architected, designed, and developed such communities, from simple to complex, beginning in 2008 with rural and tribal nations. Since then, we’ve moved into space and marine life communities during the most recent decade. We use our AI expertise in this work, and look forward to engaging in discussion with you on your ideas.
