What we do

Shaddow1Sales & Channel Support
We have unique expertise in building effective sales & marketing organizations for our clients’ specific products or services. This includes the recruiting, assessment and training of your employed, inside and field sales force, and expands to soliciting the right channel partners such as distributors, dealers, VARs, manufacturer's representatives and others.
 
Logistics, Import & Export
We have extensive knowledge, and access to special resources for your unique logistics requirement. This includes all classical import and export processes of your own products, as well as complete supply chain management for external components and/or services you may need to customize your performance program for the domestic market. It includes local warehousing and the controlled JIT distribution process to your customer on your behalf.
 
Administrative Support & Professional Services
We either perform, or recruit reliable local partners for, most corporate tasks – from Human Resource administration such as payroll services to legal expertise, from insurance to registrations, from tax issues to working with regulatory bodies and governmental entities.
 
Financial Management, Treasury & Accounting
We retain strong in-house expertise regarding all aspects of Financial management functions, and we partner with leading local and regional specialists as needed, to provide a comprehensive portfolio of services to our clients. From banking relationships to auditing, from national and international tax issues to complete accounting services on behalf of our clients, incl. integration and consolidation of financial systems within dissimilar national accounting standards or regulations across diverse platforms (from QuickBooks to SAP, from GAAP to IAS to German standards).
 
Translations
We perform comprehensive translation services, incl. complex technical manuals and challenging communication. We understand your products and services, and we are native speakers with intrinsic knowledge of industry specific terminology and idiomatic correctness. Few issues present bigger obstacles than using British English in Alabama, or Strasbourg-produced literature in Montreal, or Madrid-generated manuals in Mexico.
 
To mitigate your operating cost and to augment your scarce resources we assume (temporary or permanent) support functions in the US or Germany. We either perform, or find reliable local partners for most corporate tasks – from Human Resource to Financial Management, from legal expertise to administrative issues such as insurance, tax or regulatory bodies and governmental entities, from Marketing to Business Development and Sales – esp. during the start-up or realignment phase. We are practitioners and pragmatists, who “walked in your shoes”.
 
Our team members accept assignments to your subsidiary's or partner's Board of Directors or Advisory Council, or we assist in recruiting distinguished, industry-experienced outside directors. We facilitate appropriate meetings and ensure follow up.
