Case Study: Proven Solutions Consulting – Empowering FLAG Members for Operational Excellence

In the bustling world of converting industry businesses, where every label, every package, and every product matters, having the right support can make all the difference. That’s where Proven Solutions Consulting steps in. Led by Steve Miller, this consultancy isn’t just about offering advice; it’s about transforming businesses, especially Flexo Label Advantage Group (FLAG) Members, into operational powerhouses.

Steve Miller isn’t your typical consultant. With a background in public accounting and a knack for systems and controls, he saw many FLAG Members were struggling with limited resources, especially in terms of management information system (MIS) support and financial expertise. They had the tools, like LabelTraxx, but didn’t quite know how to wield them effectively. Processes were inefficient, leading to murky decision-making and challenges in managing financial health and operational efficiency as they grew.

Proven Solutions fills that gap, offering tailored consulting services for FLAG Members.

Steve provides shared resources, acts as a fractional CFO, and offers comprehensive guidance on financial management, MIS utilization, and process improvement.

Steve’s approach isn’t just about patching up one aspect of a business; it’s about a comprehensive overhaul. He starts with a deep dive into financial analysis, MIS system evaluation, and process improvement. Working closely with cross-functional teams, he ensures that every aspect of the company’s operations is optimized for success.

 Chuck Keefe, President of Marathon Label shared about Proven Solutions, “We have been working with Steve from Proven Solutions for about 8 months, and already we can see the value that he will bring to our company. Label Traxx is an integral part of our company, but we were never trained on how to use it properly. With insight and guidance from Steve, we are learning how to maximize our investment in Label Traxx. We are learning how Label Traxx was intended to be used to help our company be more productive, more efficient, and in the end, more profitable. Steve is fast becoming an integral part of our team.”

Proven Solutions doesn’t just drop advice and leave. They’re in it for the long haul, typically engaging with clients for 12-18 months. Steve and his team spend time on-site, providing hands-on training, system walkthroughs, and process optimization. Each solution is customized to the client’s specific needs, focusing on areas like estimating, job costing, and inventory management.

Operational efficiency increases as redundant processes are streamlined and MIS systems are utilized to their full potential. FLAG Members gain better insight into their financial performance, paving the way for informed decision-making and strategic planning. And perhaps most importantly, sustainable growth becomes not just a dream but a reality.

“Steve was able to analyze our systems and get us on a path to better profits with accurate reporting. This was a lot of information, but he was able to build us up in smaller steps that we were able to digest and integrate into the rest of the company. We consider Steve our ‘fifth Beatle’!” – Shawn Borman, Owner, Modtek

Steve’s vision for Proven Solutions extends far beyond just fixing problems. It’s about being a catalyst for change and improvement within the converting industry. By addressing the broader needs of companies, he aims to empower FLAG Members to not just survive but thrive in an increasingly competitive market.
