Post-Merger Integration & Value Creation
From bakeries to SaaS companies, in buy-and-build strategies the technological infrastructure determines whether companies are integrated successfully and synergies are realized. We analyze ERP, BI and IT landscapes, create a resilient technological foundation and implement targeted value creation measures on that basis.
A non-binding exchange on technical due diligence, integration and value creation.
PMI & Value Creation
Technological integration as the value lever of your buy-and-build strategy
With every add-on, the demands on systems, data and control increase. Diverging ERP solutions, Excel-based processes and missing consolidated reporting complicate integration and prevent planned synergies from actually being realized.
We assess the technological baseline before the acquisition, develop a clear integration roadmap and implement the required measures with our own team. This way, not only the number of portfolio companies grows, but an integrated and scalable corporate group.
Our Core Areas
Unlike software companies, the focus here is not on code but on the operational backbone: ERP, data, infrastructure and processes.
ERP & System Landscape
We assess the target's ERP systems, industry solutions and interfaces: version status, customizations, data quality and the realistic consolidation options for your platform.
Reporting & BI
Investor reporting across multiple portfolio companies often fails due to inconsistent data. We review reporting processes and BI maturity, and build a platform-wide KPI reporting.
IT Infrastructure & Security
Workplace systems, servers, network and cloud readiness. We assess the status quo, identify security and compliance gaps and plan standardization across the platform.
Processes & Automation
Many operational processes in non-technical companies run manually or via Excel. We identify digitalization and automation potential with a direct effect on margin and scalability.
Our Process
IT Due Diligence
We analyze the target's ERP, BI and IT infrastructure and quantify risks, technical debt and integration effort, presented clearly for your investment decision.
Value Creation Roadmap
Findings become a prioritized action plan: quick wins for the first 100 days, synergies across the platform and the required investment at a glance.
Post-Merger Integration
We harmonize ERP systems, migrate data and build a unified reporting and BI backbone, across all portfolio companies.
Implementation by Our Team
No report that ends up in a drawer. Our own implementation team delivers the measures, from system consolidation to ongoing operations.
Post-merger integration and value creation in practice
Based on five real projects, our report shows how companies were technologically integrated, legacy systems modernized with AI and operational value levers implemented. From consolidated reporting to the safe replacement of business-critical core systems, it demonstrates how AI-supported integration enables measurable operational improvements.

Platform thinking from day one
Every analysis considers the add-on perspective: standardization, scalability and synergies across the entire platform.
Bridge between business and technology
Our team of computer scientists and economists translates technical findings into business impact, understandable for investment committees and management alike.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does IT due diligence for non-technical companies differ from a classic tech DD?
For software companies, code, architecture and the development team take center stage. For operational businesses, such as bakery chains, craft businesses or industrial services, we instead assess the ERP and system landscape, reporting and BI, infrastructure and the digitalization maturity of processes. The goal is not to evaluate a product, but the integrability into your platform.
When in the deal process should we involve you?
Ideally before signing. The IT due diligence quantifies integration effort and required investment before you commit. At the latest right after closing we start with the 100-day plan, and support the platform across every further add-on if desired.
Who implements the measures after the analysis?
Our own implementation team: ERP harmonization, data migration, building the platform-wide reporting and BI backbone, through to process automation. On request we also provide interim IT leadership for portfolio companies.
Which companies is this worthwhile for?
For any buy-and-build platform with operational targets, from a single craft business to a corporate group. Wherever ERP, reporting and processes need to grow together after an acquisition, we create clarity and deliver.
