OUR EXIT READINESS APPROACH
Assessing digital and commercial readiness and implementing key (digital) value creation initiatives prior to the initiation of the sales process leads to a more compelling equity story and enterprise value maximization. Our approach consisted of 3 phases:
Phase 1: ‘As-is’ assessment
Exit readiness assessment: digital GTM, data, and technology
Cornerstones of the digital equity story
Identification of short-term improvements
Phase 2: Realization of quick wins
- Digital Go-to-Market & Acquisition channels
- E-commerce & customer economics BI suite: OMMAX worked in close collaboration with the respective teams at Distrelec to realize the holistic reporting suite and help the business develop toward greater data-driven decision-making
- Hiring support: To fill the identified skill gaps, OMMAX HR service offering was applied to support in hiring the relevant digital talent – in close collaboration with Distrelec’s HR business partner
Phase 3: Vendor Due Diligence
- Nuanced business plan development based on cohort model
- VDD report including digital, tech, data, logistics, and procurement
- Integration of findings into holistic equity story
“AURELIUS was very content with the prolonged and comprehensive support that OMMAX delivered around the sale of Distrelec. The Digital Exit Readiness program provided excellent preparation, which culminated in a compelling equity story in the Vendor Due Diligence report.“
Through our exit readiness program, we achieved:
- Honest account of current digital, tech, and data performance of the business
- Addressing quick wins in an execution phase
- Funneling of all insights into a compelling holistic equity story
“The OMMAX team enjoyed the journey alongside owners and managed of the exit readiness program at Distrelec, as it helped carve out the key value drivers of the business and articulate them in a robust and highly data-driven way in the equity story. This aided the negotiation and contributed to a successful realization of full exit potential.”
