Tricolom : Collaborative Offset Management

our services

Tricolom works in partnership with suppliers to help them fulfil their offset obligations. We bring diversified professional skills at the highest levels, techniques and technology to complement the skill sets of supplier organisations.

Tricolom also works with companies, who do not have an offset obligation but wish to leverage offsets in order to reduce their operating costs, maximise R&D budgets, access new international markets and to achieve vertical and horizontal diversification in their sectors.

Our expert understanding of the offset market, diverse experience in a number of key sectors and our ability to operate across national boundaries makes us the ideal partner.

Our business has 4 key pillars:

	Consulting – To advise on Offsets and their application, technology issues, and market entry into international markets.
	Financial Engineering – Through its FSA approved partners to structure and facilitate project and trade financing.
	Trading & logistics – setting up global supply chains to deliver maximum efficiencies and lean operations. To also reduce the cost of a logistics package associated with the sale of aerospace and defence programmes.
	Business opportunities – Mergers and Acquisitions, setting up new industries or relocating them or to commercialise intellectual property.

unique approach

Tricolom’s unique approach is called Collaborative Offset Management (COM).

We pool together the offset obligations of different suppliers and to create “baskets” of projects for specific countries. There are lots of benefits to this approach:

	Cross working between suppliers to reduce risk and cost of managing offsets
	Ability to collectively manage large projects
	Provides suppliers with access to new markets
	Optimisation of operating costs which saves money
	Creates cross-border projects which provide the opportunity to generate offset credits in more than one country

Offset credits are invaluable to suppliers and gives them a competitive edge that could be critical in winning new business. Our unique ability to structure projects in such a way so they generate offset credits which suppliers can redeem against their obligations makes us a vital partner.

We have created a unique web-based database to store knowledge and expertise of the offset market with mining techniques based on artificial intelligence and highly innovative visualisation tools; making it the most sophisticated knowledge management system of its kind. Designed by Tricolom, it gives immediate access to information which would previously have taken hours to compile.

Our partners are given access to the relevant parts of this system.

who we can help

We work with any company who has offset obligations to fulfil as part of a contractual agreement or is currently involved in a sales campaign to win new business. We also work with their suppliers and subcontractors some of whom can be small and medium sized companies.

However, we are increasingly finding that companies who provide support services are also being asked to help fulfil offsets as part of their contracts with the supplier who has an offset obligation. We work with these companies to generate offsets for their clients and to win new business.

Increasingly we are also working with companies who wish to use offsets in order to expand into new geographies, reduce their operating and manufacturing costs, put in place global supply chains and gain access to new markets or to commercialise their intellectual property.

We have devised a support package specifically for smaller companies. Please contact us for more information.

non-offset projects

We also help companies who are taking on large scale projects which have nothing to do with fulfilment of offset obligations.

Our knowledge, expertise and contacts across the world mean we work with these companies in order to derive benefit from offsets thus reducing their investment, and to manage and deliver such high value projects

Please contact us for an informal discussion if you have a project you think we may be able to help you with.
