Platform Consolidation for Roll-Ups
One operational platform across every add-on — live in weeks, not quarters.
Overview
The "Consolidate the Back Office" Line Item, Actually Executed
Every roll-up thesis has it: acquire five companies, consolidate operations, capture the margin. Then reality arrives — each add-on runs on its own pile of spreadsheets, a disconnected field tool, QuickBooks, and compliance documents scattered across inboxes. Integrating that mess is where roll-up synergies go to die.
We build the consolidation layer: a proven operational platform — jobs, scheduling, field data, compliance, invoicing — configured to how the businesses actually work, extended per acquisition, and live in weeks. We build it, we host it, we operate it, we support it. Your management teams run the business; we run the platform.
The Problem
Why Roll-Up Integrations Stall
Off-the-Shelf Doesn't Fit Anyone
Forcing five acquired companies onto a generic SaaS product means five change-management fights at once — and the businesses bend their proven workflows to fit the software, right when you can least afford disruption.
Custom Builds Take Too Long
A from-scratch system is a six-to-twelve-month project per platform. Roll-up economics can't wait for it, and agencies hand off at launch — leaving nobody accountable when the ETL job silently fails during your audit.
Compliance Multiplies
In regulated field work — environmental remediation, industrial services — every acquisition adds its own manifests, certifications, and audit trails. Scattered documents become deal risk at your own exit.
What We Deliver
Configured Platform, Operated for the Hold Period
Workflow-First Onboarding
Each acquisition starts with its workflow, not our tech stack. We map how the business runs today and configure the platform to match — so adoption doesn't depend on retraining a field crew mid-integration.
Live in Weeks, Per Add-On
Because the platform core already exists, each new acquisition is a configuration-and-extension project measured in weeks. The integration playbook gets faster with every deal.
Consolidated Reporting
One view across the whole roll-up: jobs, utilization, margin by entity, receivables. The sponsor's board pack stops depending on five controllers reconciling spreadsheets at month-end.
Compliance Built In
Manifests, certifications, chain-of-custody, and audit trails live in the platform — evidence on demand for regulators, insurers, and eventually your exit's diligence team.
Accounting Integration
Connected to QuickBooks or your consolidated GL from day one. Field data flows to invoicing without copy-paste — the twenty-hours-a-week reconciliation tax goes away.
Hosted & Operated by Us
We run the infrastructure, monitoring, backups, and support through the hold. No internal IT team required, and no orphaned system when a freelancer moves on. At exit, the platform transfers as a documented, operated asset — not a liability.
Who It's For
Is This Right for You?
- You're a PE firm, independent sponsor, or family office running a roll-up in field services or other operations-heavy industries
- Your value-creation plan includes operational consolidation and nobody owns the systems side of it
- Your add-ons run on spreadsheets, disconnected point tools, and QuickBooks — and reporting takes weeks
- You operate in a compliance-heavy niche (environmental remediation, industrial field services) where documentation is non-negotiable
- You want the systems story at your own exit to be an asset, not a diligence finding
We're deepest in environmental remediation and industrial field services, and the platform model extends to adjacent operations-heavy industries.
Engagement Model
Platform Partner, Not Project Vendor
Initial build and first-entity rollout as a fixed-scope engagement, then a per-entity onboarding fee for each add-on plus a monthly platform fee for hosting, operations, and support. For the right roll-ups, we'll structure part of our compensation as equity or success-based fees tied to the consolidation the thesis depends on — we're happy to be paid the way you are.
