Post-Merger Integration

The single most important factor contributing to the success of an acquisition is the art of post-merger integration.

Research has found top-performing companies post-merger are those who integrate their core functions deeply. It sets them apart from those with low or partial integration of their core functions.

There are five core functions: Procurement, Production, Marketing & Sales, Logistics and Research & Development. Other departments such as Finance, IT and HR are support functions. Studies of the best performing companies show most synergies are realised first in Procurement, then Production and Marketing & Sales. In all cases, a deep and structured integration was key to achieving the synergies.

Done correctly, full integration of core functions will result in huge synergy results and a stable organisation that can be the model for future acquisitions. Select your integration partner carefully.

Our post-merger integration approach

A post-merger integration project always begins with a clear roadmap that includes key milestones and deliverables. Hudicor also implements a customised strategy to retain key talent and leadership. The structure and processes we use are well established and clearly defined. Ensuring alignment on roles and responsibilities is important at this stage. By doing this, we can monitor, control and report progress and achievements in a consistent manner. Personal follow-up is provided until all objectives have been achieved. A client retention rate of over 85% is a direct result of our hands-on approach. We walk the talk.
