From an M&A perspective, the Pacellico assessment tool is very effective at the operational due diligence stage when considering a possible acquisition. The tool provides the following operational insights of the company under analysis:

  1. Model current footprint, end-to-end supply chain & operations providing a 360° view of current state & performance
  2. Interviews with management, significant customers & strategic partners/suppliers
  3. Provides a 3rd party, impartial assessment of the target company operations
  4. Identify and quantify strategic opportunities, critical risks and red flags
  5. Full operational due diligence report for consideration by the M&A team

How do these insights support/impact the acquisition progresses:

  1. Possible impact to transaction price & contract conditions
  2. Assessment of possible synergies to be gained from the acquisition which can improve the investment return model
  3. Assessment of cultural fit of the target company and the management/organizational strength & capabilities
  4. Priority focus areas for post-acquisition integration projects to accelerate the integration of the company and improve the investment return
