The Challenge

A medium enterprise sought to acquire a $3B tech-enabled logistics company. The complexity of the acquisition required not only buy-side diligence but also robust planning for Day 1 readiness and a carefully executed post-merger integration (PMI) to realize long-term value creation.

Our Approach

  • Conducted comprehensive buy-side diligence to evaluate technology assets, operational synergies, and integration risks.
  • Developed a Day 1 readiness plan ensuring business continuity and clear alignment across IT and business functions.
  • Designed and executed a post-merger integration strategy tailored to harmonize IT systems, processes, and cultural alignment.

In-depth Details

  • Evaluated technology infrastructure and digital platforms of the target company to assess scalability and alignment with acquirer’s roadmap.
  • Established integration playbooks covering IT, logistics operations, and customer-facing technologies.
  • Managed change readiness initiatives, including communication planning and training programs for employees across both organizations.
  • Set up a governance framework to oversee execution, measure synergy realization, and mitigate integration risks.
