Logistics & Supply Chain Consulting

Companies must integrate logistics and supply chain strategies into their site selection decision process.

Hickey works with clients to understand the logistical environment of today and the future by forecasting customer demand, supply trends, energy costs, and transportation related expenditures.

Incentive Compliance & Administration

In the U.S., over 70% of incentive dollars negotiated are never fully realized by the company.

Hickey works directly with your team to complete all applications, contracts, and agreements, while ensuring all reporting requirements are met. We navigate clients through the entire incentives life cycle to optimize the incentive package and realize maximum value.

Public Incentive Management

Companies and governments across the country have found incentive compliance increasingly difficult due to its complex nature and demanding reporting requirements.

Public incentives remain a powerful tool for both businesses seeking to maximize efficiency and communities seeking to attract and retain high value jobs. It can be challenging to manage proper compliance due to the difficult administrative requirements that states, cities, and regional governments have developed, which may include certain “clawbacks.”

The PUBLIC INCENTIVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (PIMS) simplifies incentives by creating one central clearinghouse for your Team to manage incentive programs from start to finish.
