Acquisition Support

M&A Support

An outside advisor with significant industry knowledge and experience can provide the support necessary to ensure your acquisition plans are well-conceived and properly executed.

Search
Running an effective and successful acquisition search is a major undertaking for any business and requires a disciplined approach. If you are looking for an experienced professional advisor who can assist you with identifying suitable target businesses, 3PLR can help.

Operations Due Diligence
We conduct key resource interviews, site visits, research and analysis to provide our clients with an operational perspective on their acquisition target, to validate the business plan and to identify synergies. Our clients want to minimize investment risk by really knowing what they are buying and how to manage it. Our analysis defines the elements and capabilities of existing supply chain operations on both sides of the deal and proceeds to gap analysis, identify missing elements and solution options.  We can support our clients with design, planning and implementation across all supply chain functions. 

Acquisition Supply Chain Integration
Our acquisition supply chain integration service follows from operational due diligence to provide support when a client needs to build or transition supply chain operations of a merged or acquired company. Our analysis defines the elements and capabilities of existing supply chain operations on both sides of the deal and proceeds to gap analysis to identify missing elements and improvements. Much like our supply chain design services, we support our clients with planning and implementation across the key supply chain functions.

Acquisitions and mergers of any size are a huge undertaking. We first assist our clients with acquisitions through the search and operations due diligence processes, and then, after the acquisition takes place, supply chain integration.

Clients typically use this service to answer the following questions:

  • What supply chain gaps exist and how should we fill them by Close?
  • How are we going to integrate this business in terms of processes, people and technology?
  • Can we achieve synergies with the core business and pull costs out of this business’ supply chain?
  • What should we do about supply chain systems for planning and execution?
  • Do we have the right resources to get the work done and a solid transition in place?
