The BCJ Group, a Naples, FL-based retail sector management consulting firm, has finalized a partnership agreement with CMX1, a provider of enterprise software for quality, risk, and compliance.

Under the partnership, BCJ will provide guidance and business development opportunities for CMX1 in retail and food service channels.

CMX1 was founded in 2009 and is based in San Diego. The software firm’s Enterprise Quality & Risk Management (eQRM) platform helps restaurant, grocery, hospitality, retail, and food & beverage manufacturers automate their quality, risk, and compliance operations. The platform covers areas including supply relationship management, product testing and quality assurance, auditing and inspections, recalls, document management, and reporting.

“There are great synergies between the vast experience and networks of the BGJ team and the innovation-driven culture at CMX1. It is critical that retailers and their suppliers deliver what they commit to delivering and that’s what CMX1 enables, so we expect the relationship to create substantial value in a very short timeframe,” said Vince Burke, managing partner at The BGJ Group.

BCJ advises retailers, suppliers, and vendors in the supermarket, mass, convenience, drug, and specialty retail channels. The firm’s service offerings include executive management, market strategy, mergers & acquisitions, private equity, business development, product marketing, trade relations, and executive search.
