PE-Backed Industrial Integration

Post-Merger Integration for Industrial Platforms

We help PE-backed industrial platforms execute post-merger integration through data unification, AI deployment, and intelligent automation—faster than Big 4, deeper than generalists.

The Challenge

Most integration failures trace back to data silos, manual processes, and lack of visibility. We solve those problems.

Integration Approach

From Diligence to Value Creation

A structured approach that accelerates synergy capture while maintaining business continuity.

01

Diligence Support

2-4 weeks

Pre-close assessment of systems landscape, data quality, and integration complexity. Identify risks and quick wins for the 100-day plan.

02

Day 1 Readiness

4-8 weeks

Stand up critical reporting, establish data flows for combined visibility, and prepare TSA exit roadmap where applicable.

03

Integration Execution

3-12 months

Execute system integration, deploy automation, and build unified analytics. Embedded teams working alongside your portfolio company.

04

Value Capture

Ongoing

Continuous improvement, synergy tracking, and operational optimization. Position for next add-on or exit.
