REQUEST A CONSULTATION
CASE STUDIES
I am writing to recommend the commercial and healthcare real estate consultant services of SolvingX LLC. Lillibridge, a subsidiary of Ventas hired SolvingX to review $38 million in capital equipment and variable construction project work across our 246 U.S. medical offices. SolvingX was given 38 data files and supporting project information to review and normalize.
The various files were consolidated and moved into an online PowerBI data visualization tool. The tool visually showed where each HVAC asset was located per real estate property. In addition, requests for proposals were created and led to the creation of new hard services master services agreements in: Project Management, HVAC, and Roofing.
The collaboration between SolvingX and Lillibridge senior executive and account engineering team assisted in the development of a capital master plan.
It was our pleasure to work with them and will rehire them based on future project needs.

I am pleased to offer my highest recommendation for the consulting services of SolvingX LLC. Pediatric Associates, the second-largest children’s clinic network in the United States, partnered with SolvingX to lead our Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) enterprise, overseeing $60 million in financials across our 279 clinics spread across seven U.S. states.
SolvingX brought pivotal expertise in identifying and capitalizing on various financial, operational, and technological opportunities. They introduced robust tools to enhance our capabilities and developed our staff’s competencies, enabling us to implement change management solutions effectively. Their comprehensive approach went beyond the facilities department, driving collaboration and strategic alignment across multiple vital departments, including Accounting, Finance, Infectious Disease and Quality Management, Information Technology, Legal, and Risk Management.
Key achievements during this engagement included:
- Financial Reengineering: SolvingX led and collaborated with our Accounting and Finance teams to restructure capital and operational expenditures, ultimately reducing our fiscal year budget to approximately $11 million.
- They developed a new enterprise financial model, enabling us to identify and prioritize essential clinics for investment based on various critical metrics such as capital, census, insurance, and operational allocation.
- Staff Development: We implemented an internal Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) program to ensure our operations’ long-term sustainability.
- New Program Implementation: SolvingX was instrumental in launching new initiatives, including the introduction of CMMS, a Vendor Master Program, and the establishment of KPIs and SLAs, which have significantly enhanced our operational effectiveness.
- Technology Implementation:
- SpendCube: SolvingX introduced this technology, providing critical transparency into our financial operations by blending capital and operational expenses, identifying opportunities for localized vendor contracting, and rationalizing the number of similar service providers.
- Utilization of Emerging Technologies: They also leveraged new technologies such as CMMS, real estate/lease administration, janitorial and security system

I’m pleased to provide my strongest support and recommendation for the services of SolvingX LLC. In my prior role at a different organization, we engaged the team to fully revamp our facilities management function from a broken relationship with a poor performing vendor and to bring the function in house and support over 300 locations nationwide.
The SolvingX team did an incredible job digging through highly disparate data sources, inconsistent organization structures, and frustrated stakeholders to very quickly put order to the function. Their work not only turned around what was a failing function but managed to save the organization over $11 million annually in true, measurable savings.
SolvingX is a responsive, engaged, highly knowledgeable, and highly accountable organization throughout. They can bring value very quickly to any organization in need. I look forward to working with them again in the future.

Sourcing strategies exhibit variability based on client-specific factors, but generally, we observe firms commencing from one of the three perspectives outlined below:
- First Generation: “Centralization/
Standardization” - Forward-thinking clients who recognize the need for transformation understand the importance of a strategic, comprehensive roadmap to shift from a decentralized to a centralized operational model. At SolvingX, we offer expert guidance to drive this transformation, emphasizing centralization, standardization, and the optimization of internal roles and responsibilities, all while ensuring cost efficiency and sustainable growth.
- Second Generation: “Refinement of Operational Excellence“
- Organizations that have successfully implemented ‘First Generation’ initiatives are now focusing on the next phase: refining and enhancing the accuracy of their internal and external OpEx and CapEx financials while strengthening their vertically integrated network of trusted suppliers.
- Third Generation: “Continuation of Best-In-Class“
- Companies that have successfully outsourced business line operations over the years and with multiple industry leaders and advisory firms.
- Ongoing refinement to achieve “World Class” internal/external excellence in all service areas.
Strategic Development and Execution of a Comprehensive Master Plan
- Stakeholder Management: Proactively identify and engage key stakeholders, including third-party service providers, ensuring seamless collaboration and alignment across all levels of operation.
- Financial Oversight: Establish and enforce stringent approval thresholds and financial controls, safeguarding operational efficiency and fiscal responsibility.
- Operational Excellence: Drive flawless execution of processes across diverse operational tiers—local, regional, and centers of excellence—ensuring consistent performance and scalability.
- Governance and Sustainability: Implement robust governance frameworks that maintain uninterrupted operations, while strategically transitioning to a sustainable and steady operational state.
- Role Clarity and Accountability (RACI Framework): Define clear roles and responsibilities across all teams, optimizing both internal and external engagements to ensure alignment and efficiency.
- R – Responsible: Individuals or teams tasked with execution, ensuring accountability at the operational level.
- A – Accountable: The person who owns the task, ensures its completion, and makes final decisions. Only one accountable individual per task.
- C – Consulted: Key stakeholders providing necessary expertise and advice during task execution.
- I – Informed: Individuals who need to be kept updated on task progress, ensuring transparency and communication.
- Continuous Improvement: Leverage industry-leading templates and best practice knowledge-sharing methodologies to drive continuous operational improvements, ensuring adaptability and efficiency in a dynamic marketplace.
At SolvingX, we focus on leveraging a robust and trusted global, regional, or local network of suppliers to drive exceptional value and performance for our clients.
