Procurement Due Diligence
Research shows that in the best executed mergers and acquisitions, most early synergies were delivered via procurement. A detailed analysis of potential synergies along with a robust integration roadmap of the procurement organisation can make a significant difference to the success of an acquisition or merger.
Hudicor has an exceptional track record in delivering thorough and accurate procurement due diligence.
Pre-merger clean room
We set up pre-merger clean room, a virtual data room for storing highly confidential documents in a secure environment while continuing to adhere to antitrust laws. Our team conducts an in-depth analysis of selected key spend categories and the target company’s procurement organisation. The output of the analysis is an overview of the short- and medium-term savings potential. This is an area in which we have an exceptional track record. For example, our team conducted procurement due diligence and pre-merger activities resulting in approximately $1.5 billion in annual cost synergies. Post-merger, the company became one of the world’s five largest consumer goods companies.
Pre-Merger Integration
After the procurement due diligence phase, Hudicor prepares a roadmap to achieve the identified short and medium term potential savings. Armed with this roadmap, as soon as the books open the clients’ combined procurement teams are fully prepared to quickly deliver bottom line synergy savings. A good Pre-merger integration roadmap is a vital component of a successful merger or acquisition.
