Real results for real product teams.
Global Forensics: Scaling Training, Hardware & Ops
A global leader in vehicle forensics, delivering hardware, software, and training to agencies worldwide while scaling to meet fast-growing demand.
- Manual and time-consuming class setup for every training cohort
- No standardized process for gathering or applying feedback from global instructors
- Equipment packing and inventory lacked consistency, leading to delays and rework
- Training program lacked visibility into readiness metrics across locations
- Internal tools weren't keeping up with operational complexity
The result? Even though demand for their platform was rising, the team was stuck putting out fires rather than building a scalable foundation for growth.
We embedded alongside the client’s leadership, product, training, and engineering teams to uncover root issues and implement high-leverage improvements. Key initiatives included:
Product & Operations Alignment
Developed a phased onboarding flow that reduced setup time for new students by over 50%.
Proposed and implemented a structured checklist system for pre-course equipment preparation and inventory tracking.
Training Optimization
Designed a digital form for trainers to capture post-class feedback, location suitability, and student progress. This enabled better decision-making for future class planning and continuous improvement in curriculum design.
Hardware Field Kit Redesign
Worked cross-functionally to reduce the number of hardware SKUs shipped per class and implemented a modular case system for instructors and students—cutting setup/teardown time significantly.
Workflow Automation
Partnered with internal stakeholders to map all student-facing processes and identify steps that could be automated or templatized using CRM and ERP tools already in place.
Increased Training Throughput: Reduced class setup time by 40%, enabling more courses to be held annually with the same headcount.
Improved Student Experience: Students reported higher satisfaction due to smoother logistics, better-prepared instructors, and improved hands-on equipment.
Enhanced Internal Visibility: Leadership gained access to standardized reports from training engagements across the globe, enabling faster strategic decisions.
Scalable Infrastructure: The foundation was laid for continued growth, including automation of pre-class workflows and integration of real-time inventory monitoring.

You don’t have a roadmap problem. You have a decision-making problem dressed up as one.
Every quarter you stay the product brain is another quarter the team ships the wrong things — and another quarter further from a Head of Product hire that will actually work.
