🌍 JustConsulting Builds Multi-National Operations with Operational Control

Client: Multinational Drilling Services and Equipment Provider 
Challenge: Rapid expansion into Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and the U.S. without on-site operational leadership
​
Results:
✔ $5M revenue in 18 months
✔ 40% overhead reduction
✔ Improved team accountability
✔ Strategic Joint Ventures with trusted local firms

The Challenge: Scaling Without a Safety Net

This multinational equipment provider was ready to grow. The plan? Establish a presence in Central Asia and North America to support large-scale industrial contracts.

But here’s the reality they faced:
  • No local infrastructure to launch from
  • No regional leadership to handle day-to-day issues
  • No visibility into real-time operations, costs, or compliance
  • High risk of duplication, delays, or expensive missteps

​They needed to launch fast, keep costs low, and ensure everything aligned with local laws and expectations—without physically being in each country.

Building Local Operations

From Zero to Full Ops in Three Countries
What We Did
  • Opened offices and yards in Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and the U.S.
  • Built local vendor networks from the ground up
  • Completed registrations, permitting, and customs setup
  • Established joint ventures with reliable local partners to ensure long-term buy-in, cultural alignment, and legal compliance


- ​In Kazakhstan, we co-developed a JV with a local logistics firm. This gave us immediate access to compliant trucking fleets and helped reduce customs delays—building trust with regional clients and regulators alike.

Joint Venture Development

Rather than go it alone, we built local alliances through strategic joint ventures that gave our client legal protection, social license, and on-the-ground expertise.

What We Did
  • Identified reputable, experienced local firms
  • Structured transparent JV agreements with defined roles and shared risk
  • Ensured compliance with foreign investment laws and tax structures
  • Provided our client majority control while protecting the partner's value

Why It Mattered
  • Boosted speed of local acceptance and regulatory processing
  • Minimized risk of cultural misalignment
  • Created stable, long-term cost structures and procurement advantages

These joint ventures weren’t just legal entities—they were built on mutual trust and local insight.

Building & Leading Distributed Teams

What We Did: Recruited and managed a team spread across time zones, cultures, and languages—with accountability built in.

How We Did It:
  • Developed clear job descriptions and KPIs for each role—from yard managers to financial controllers.
  • Used digital dashboards (Google Sheets + Trello at the time) to track daily tasks and flag blockers.
  • Built a weekly team rhythm: Monday planning calls, Friday wins-and-lessons meetings, and midweek progress updates.

​Example: In Kazakhstan, we hired a bilingual logistics coordinator to bridge communication gaps between the yard and HQ—this led to fewer lost shipments and smoother customs processing.

Installing Financial Controls

What We Did: Created clear, trackable financial systems that worked across all three countries.

How We Did It:
  • Introduced a budget vs. actual tracker for every region. This was updated weekly and reviewed monthly with leadership.
  • Created approval workflows so no purchase over $1,000 went through without two levels of sign-off.
  • Implemented cashflow forecasts and inventory reports to identify where capital was tied up and where to free it.

Delivering Tangible Results

With strong frameworks in place, the outcomes were undeniable:
​
  • $5M Revenue in 18 Months
    • Enabled by quick setup and strategic client onboarding
    • Built trust with partners by delivering on contracts without delay
  • 40% Overhead Reduction
    • Leaner staff structures, local vendor renegotiations, and waste elimination
    • Standardized procurement saved thousands on repeat orders
  • Improved Accountability
    • Team members had clarity, structure, and visibility
    • KPIs made it easy to spot underperformance—and fix it quickly​
