After the acquisition
Put the new core platform into the value creation plan: core workflows running within two to three months, the complete platform within about a year.
For private equity
Turn AI into EBITDA across your portfolio
We replace a portfolio company’s ERP or industry suite with an AI-first platform built around its own workflows. Licence fees become an asset on the balance sheet, and the company grows without hiring at the same pace.
The platformCore workflows in 2–3 months
Core workflows redesigned for employees and AI agents working together
One platform in place of the ERP or industry suite, its licences, and its workarounds
Add-on acquisitions moved onto the same platform and way of working
The company’s own team running the platform, which goes with the company at exit
An asset on the balance sheet, not a subscription in the P&L
For operating partners and value creation teams at private equity firms, and the management of their portfolio companies. We work in English and German.
Value creation
More EBITDA from the same team, and an asset at exit
With exit multiples no longer rising, the return has to come from margin. An AI-first core platform improves it four ways.
Licences into an asset
Per-user licence fees leave the cost base. The platform is capitalised and amortised below EBITDA.
Productivity
Agents complete the routine steps in order handling, billing, and service, and employees take the decisions that need judgement.
Growth on the same team
Organic growth and add-on volume run on the people who already know the business, without a matching hiring plan.
A stronger exit
Buyers find measured margin gains and an owned platform, instead of licence obligations or integration debt to discount.
Where it fits in the hold period
The earlier the core platform is replaced, the longer the margin gains compound before exit.
Buy-and-build
Build the platform once and move each add-on onto it, so acquired volume arrives without its own systems and back office.
Carve-outs
Leave the seller’s systems for an AI-first platform of your own, instead of a copy of the seller’s setup.
At exit
The platform and its measured results join the equity story, and the software is part of the sale.
One team from design to production
A partner leads the programme from the first conversation to go-live. The team that redesigns the workflows also builds the platform, inside the company, alongside the employees who will use it.
What you can count on
- A price for the complete platform agreed before the build starts, and capitalised in full
- Core workflows in production within two to three months
- The complete platform rolled out within about a year
- Specialist services for accounting, payroll, and e-invoicing connected rather than rebuilt
- Every agent decision recorded and owned by a named person, so due diligence finds an asset, not a risk
- The company owns the code, and its own team runs the platform after handover
