Industries we serve

The sectors we know — and the people who run them.

FCI is a sector-focused advisory. Each industry below is led by people who have lived inside it — reading regulatory tea leaves, sitting in operations rooms, defending decisions to oversight. Here is our point of view on each, and what we are watching in every market.

Logistics & Supply Chain
Sector 01Anchor sector

Logistics & Supply Chain

Federal-scale logistics carries a different burden than commercial: continuity, accountability, and the visibility regulators and Congress demand. Our anchor sector. We work where mail moves, where freight networks reach federal customers, and where the records environments behind those operations have to hold up under scrutiny.

What we’re watching in this sector
01Network optimization at federal scale, not commercial scale
02Vendor-ecosystem resilience under shifting policy and disclosure rules
03Operations modernization without continuity risk — the mail still has to move
04Records intelligence retrofitted into legacy logistics estates
Federal Civilian
Sector 02Mission delivery

Federal Civilian

Federal civilian agencies carry the most varied mission set in the federal portfolio — benefits adjudication, regulatory enforcement, scientific funding, public health. Our work threads through all of them, anchored by the records, analytics, and program performance work that mission delivery actually depends on.

What we’re watching in this sector
01Records modernization at cabinet-agency scale
02Case-management transformation across benefits and regulatory programs
03Cross-agency program performance under heavy oversight
04AI-readiness in mission-critical workflows without losing defensibility
Transportation
Sector 03Mobility & assets

Transportation

Transportation programs operate on 50-year asset horizons and 4-year political cycles. Our work threads that needle — helping transportation leaders make decisions that survive the next inspection cycle and the next administration alike, and the records environments that make those decisions defensible.

What we’re watching in this sector
01IIJA-fund deployment and the accountability tail behind it
02Asset-condition modernization at corridor and network scale
03Permitting and NEPA acceleration without losing defensibility
04Operations dashboards that transportation leadership actually uses
Aerospace & Defense
Sector 04Defense industrial base

Aerospace & Defense

The defense industrial base operates under a compliance burden that the rest of the industrial world is only beginning to face. The work we do here travels — primes, suppliers, federal customers — because the compliance is the throughline that runs across every engagement in this sector.

What we’re watching in this sector
01Supply-chain compliance under hardening regulation
02Mission-system modernization at scale
03Records environments at DoD scale and classification levels
04Readiness analytics across distributed programs
Space
Sector 05Emerging

Space

The commercial space economy is forming the regulatory and operational disciplines it didn’t need a decade ago. We work where launch, satellite operations, and federal space programs meet the records, compliance, and capital-deployment rigor the sector is now learning to require.

What we’re watching in this sector
01Federal space program operations and acquisition
02Launch and orbital records environments under hardening oversight
03Capital deployment across launch and satellite operations
04ITAR and export-control discipline at commercial scale
SLED
Sector 06State, local & education

SLED

State and local governments and education institutions sit closest to the citizen — rebuilding aging service-delivery infrastructure, absorbing the federal funds behind that rebuild, and answering for outcomes under FERPA, bond markets, and constituents alike. The SLED leaders we work with need digital transformation and fiscal discipline at once, instrumented from day one.

What we’re watching in this sector
01Federal-fund accountability landing at the state, county, and district level
02Permitting and service modernization as a regional competitiveness lever
03Records modernization under FERPA and public-records constraints
04AI-readiness across constituent and student services without losing equity guardrails
Nonprofit & NGO
Sector 07Mission-driven

Nonprofit & NGO

Mission-driven organizations carry an operational sophistication their funders rarely see. Our work helps them prove outcomes, strengthen the operations behind their mission, and stretch philanthropic capital further — the rigor of consulting, in service of the mission.

What we’re watching in this sector
01Grant-reporting modernization across funder expectations
02Outcome measurement at program scale
03Operations modernization for mission-driven scale
04Capital strategy across philanthropy and impact investing
Industrial & Electronics
Sector 08Global manufacturing

Industrial & Electronics

Global industrial supply chains have outpaced the records and reporting systems that sit underneath them. We work where supply-chain reality has to meet the audit trail, the customs trail, and the customer trail — reconciled and defensible.

What we’re watching in this sector
01Global supply-chain visibility and traceability
02Records modernization for cross-border environments
03Operations analytics across distributed manufacturing
04Capital deployment for industrial modernization
