Leverage GPO Agreements
Piggyback on our multi-PE leveraged spend agreements for numerous indirect and direct spend categories. Drive substantial cost reductions quickly, in a risk-free manner, with minimal time and resource investment from portfolio companies. Pre-Exit All steps of the Private Equity (PE) investment process are critical from early-stage due diligence to the final exit. After years of executing on the investment thesis including process improvements, product pricing optimization, cost reduction, talent management, add-on’s, tuck-in’s and excercising other value creation levers, a poorly planned or executed exit can make the difference between a great deal and a good deal |
Portfolio Company-Specific Optimization
Use our portfolio company-specific “quick strike” approach to generate 3-10% EBIT improvements via a data-driven, highly analytical procurement process. Risk-free. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
Multiple forces are driving the importance of ESG with significant pressure for private equity firms to adopt higher standards and reporting. Public opinion of private equity as corporate investors with sole interest on increasing value regardless of the collateral damage to the pressure on private equity from the LP’s to provide robust, cross-portfolio ESG reporting throughout the investment period is resulting in scrutiny on ESG performance. |
Managed Portfolio Procurement Program
Free up your operations teams to focus on working with portfolio companies on strategic initiatives and let us take on the burden of managing your procurement programs utilizing a combination of world-class contracts, our multi-category procurement expertise, and a cross-portfolio analytics platform Due Diligence Procurement Value Creation is a critical element of due diligence strategy. Not only can procurement optimization improve cash flow right away, it will set the stage for future acquisitions, and ultimately, maximize value at exit. More importantly, if there is a significant procurement opportunity, it can lead to a much lower “effective” purchase multiple for the deal, allowing for a higher purchase price and ultimately in a higher close rate. |
