About
Alongside the bold.
BOLD helps small and mid-sized manufacturers deliver more with the team they already have. Not by buying one more tool. By seeing the change all the way through.
Who is speaking to you
A configurator your salespeople work around is just one more Excel file.
Mathieu Boldireff, president
I spend my days stitching back together the three chains that rarely talk to each other in a small or mid-sized company: sales, inventory and finance. A quote touches stock, stock touches the invoice, the invoice touches the margin. Fixing one link at a time only moves the problem from one department to the next.
So my work starts where ERP configuration stops: pricing logic, discount rules, margin guardrails, quote templates, and then the weeks that decide whether the team actually uses it or goes back to its own file. AI comes in where it takes dead time off a salesperson, not where it makes a good demo.
I also design AI training programmes for small and mid-sized companies, community organisations and the technology sector, and I teach technology management at the undergraduate level. It is the same job: changing the way people work, not delivering a tool.

The team
More than one head on your pricing rules. That is an operating rule, not an intention.
A team forms around your mandate, and its make-up follows what the mandate needs: someone who models your rules, someone who reviews, someone who connects your ERP. You meet those people before there is anything to sign.
Nobody ships their own work. The eighth gate in our methodology is a human review, and a review you run on yourself is not one. Your pricing rules are read, tested and picked up by more than one head before they reach your production.
That is what makes the promise on the Build or Buy page hold: your solution is picked up by a team, not by the person who wrote it. A firm that sells independence from any one person cannot be one.
And one thing never changes, whatever the make-up. Mathieu Boldireff, president, answers for what leaves this place. There is no department to pass the buck to.
What we believe
Three convictions, and they have consequences
01
Buying the tool is the easy part.
Changing behaviour is all the rest. That is why we turn down engagements that stop at technical delivery: we would have done half the work while charging for all of it.
02
Before chasing revenue, protect the margin you already have.
An underpriced quote costs more than a lost contract, and it only shows up at the end of the project.
03
You can do it on your own.
That was never the question. The question is whether it will hold in eighteen months, once the person who built it has gone.
The limits, up front
What we do not do
We do not resell licences. No vendor commission.
We do not invoice an audit before showing something useful.
We do not take an engagement where adoption is out of scope.
We do not say yes to everything. If a market product does the job, we will tell you.
We start with a call, not with a presentation.
