We Aren't Your Daddy's Consulting Firm

Since our founding in February 2009 by Mike Scharf and Jeff Hardcastle, capSpire has always been a company focused on providing exceptional consulting services and elegant software solutions to the CTRM market niche. We've grown the organization at an agressive rate with the same drive and dedication, the same unrivaled principles that have already distinguished our company as an industry leading service provider with a strong presence in both North America and Europe. Our growth, while impressive, has been measured. We combine the top talent from four year institutions with seasoned CTRM professionals of varied backgrounds, both functional and technical in nature. This approach allows us to continue to focus on building a strong team from within while attracting individuals with a diverse group of skill sets, and with new and fresh ideas needed to forward the progress of our organization. We provide the balance through diversity that helps us remain agile and creative for the future while maintaining the wisdom of experience derived from the past.

Our philosophy is one of “first principles”; without dissecting and thereby understanding the problem at its core, the solution can never be complete. Our diverse talent pool allows us to excel at analyzing the complexities of even the toughest problems and asking questions which oftentimes challenge the status quo. And while our team’s experiences cover the spectrum of CTRM expertise…..we share the same passion for problem-solving and the absolute creative persistence to find not just a solution, rather the best solution.

Our range of expertise in commodities runs the gamut from Crude, Refined Products, Gas, NGL, Coal, Ethanol, Asphalt, and Grains, among others. We have a history of dozens of implementations, including vendor selections, project management, functional leads and technical developers.  We also provide consulting for business processes like volume and cash forecasting, P&L management, credit, risk, inventory, and VaR, to name a few.  We also provide support for multiple CTRM customers on an ongoing basis for critical path issues, functional analysis, business process refinement, and technical development.

Our leaders are not compensated for bloating project budgets and head-counts, we don't slap each other on the back for generating obscene revenues, and we don't brag about the deep-pockets of our clients. We celebrate when our clients reach their objectives, and we pride ourselves on "doing more with less". Our unique approach and rich history and expertise can provide immediate value added benefits to your CTRM needs. Please call us for an evaluation by our senior team of consultants, we are anxious to show why we should be your first and only choice of solution provider for your CTRM business.
