We deliver accelerated EBITDA growth and multiple build to drive increased EV through operational cost reduction and transformation. Vendigital has an established track record of supporting private equity firms across the end-to-end investment lifecycle – partnering with organisations globally to drive a step change in EBITDA improvement and cash generation either at a portfolio or business level.
Our teams understand how to swiftly identify value and have the breadth of industry knowledge and capabilities to unlock it – acting fast on value creation, improving operational performance and providing specific operational insights on a deal or portfolio company. Our deep consulting and operational expertise combine with our digital platform to create a single version of the truth, from which we generate and embed investment specific and cross portfolio insights. These insights allow our 1,300 experts across 35 countries to deliver tangible value quickly.
The opportunities we see for our private equity clients
From our international experience of working within private equity we see common opportunities for both PE houses and portfolio businesses, which stem from the overarching imperative of driving EBITDA improvements at pace. We utilise our frameworks, methodologies and value creation mindset to:
• Accelerate direct and indirect cost improvements across cash, working capital and performance improvements – taking a data first approach that identifies target incentives, prioritising both the speed and scale of benefits
• Drive through cost and value engineering improvements across products and services within portfolio companies
• Embed sustainable benefits within portfolio businesses, with the management team able to monitor the achievement of benefits through a single insights platform
• Navigate complex stakeholder management issues whilst upskilling the management team either through supporting their development or providing interim experts with the capability and industry expertise to supplement in-house teams
Accelerate EBITDA growth
By bringing together our multi-disciplinary consulting experience with our digital platform, we are able to deploy data-driven operational insights to embed measurable and sustainable cost benefits within specific investments and at a portfolio level.
We support PE houses and owner operated businesses at both pre, during and post-acquisition stages:
• Pre-deal due diligence and strategy – by providing reliable, complete data we enable clients to have more confidence in the bidding process
• First 100 days – supporting you to execute your 100-day plan and deliver quick win cost saving opportunities
• Performance phase – executing the cost transformation plan and turning around off-plan investments to improve product margins, including through the provision of expert resource
• Exit – helping you to develop a clear roadmap and enhance value at sale, including supporting the vendor due diligence process
Our initial savings assessment is completed free of charge and we engage by deploying a cost neutral approach; we are low risk for both the PE house and portfolio company; we maximise both cash and EV; and we upskill management teams to ensure the benefits are retained within portfolio companies on a long-term basis.

WHATEVER YOUR REQUIREMENTS, WE PROVIDE SOLUTIONS TO FIT YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS…
With dry powder at record levels and business valuations down on where they were in H1 2022, private equity (PE) firms are cash ready to react to market opportunities – but there is still a high degree of caution.
With consulting firms functioning increasingly as partners, rather than simply advisors, there is more pressure than ever from clients to demonstrate long-term gains via engagements.
With technology, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), advancing at a faster pace than ever before, businesses must have strategies in place to utilise it effectively or risk falling behind.
