Decades of Experience. Deep Industry Knowledge. Real Results.
With over four decades of combined experience in the utility sector, our team understands what it takes to compete in regulated, high-pressure industries. We have worked across every level of the supply chain, from internal decision makers to the service companies that keep operations moving.
That insight shapes every service we offer, from RFP support and training to focused networking and business strategy. Shift DBS was created to pass that experience on to companies ready to grow with purpose.
Membership gives you access to the same tools, strategies, and knowledge we have spent years building so your business is better prepared to pursue serious work and move forward with confidence.
Real Support. Practical Guidance. Built Around Your Business
We do not offer one size fits all solutions. Every member we work with has different goals, challenges, and strengths. That is why our approach is focused, flexible, and based on what you actually need to move forward.
We take the time to understand your business, then help you strengthen how you operate, how you present your services, and how you pursue the work you want. Whether you are new to RFPs or looking to improve your position in the market, we provide direct support, real feedback, and the structure to grow with purpose.
Everything we offer is shaped by experience, because we have been there, and we know what it takes.
