Tuck-In Case Study
Project Ownership from Start to Finish
A PE-backed national commercial laundry portfolio company serving the healthcare industry completed an add-on acquisition. The deal thesis was clear. Tuck in the acquired business into the platform company and realize the synergies.
The acquired business ran on different systems, had its own HR policies and pay structures, and employed a largely hourly workforce that had never been through an acquisition. Synergy Execution Associates built the integration plan across HR & Payroll, Billing & Route Management, Operations, Technology, Finance, and Employee Communications — assigning owners, milestones, and deadlines on every workstream. Weekly integration calls kept both sides aligned.
Ninety days after close, the acquisition was fully absorbed onto the platform. Systems migrated. Employees transitioned. Back-office synergies captured. Workforce retention held. The engagement closed with a board-ready close-out report and a clean handoff to operations — enterprise value realized on plan.
You Closed the Deal.
NOW THE REAL WORK BEGINS
Post-acquisition integration is where value is made or lost. The org chart is unsettled, the systems don't talk to each other, and everyone is watching. Lower-mid-market companies don't have a dedicated project manager to lead through that, and most PE firms don't carry one on staff.
That's exactly where we come in.
Synergy Execution Associates delivers integration project management on demand. We bring the structure, the playbook, and the execution leadership so your deal thesis doesn't stall in execution.
