Driving Efficiency: Accelerating a $500 Million PE-Backed Freight Platform Integration

After a Private Equity (“PE”) backed, cross-border freight provider acquired a smaller domestic truck broker, FTI Consulting was engaged to help address gaps that remained between the two organizations, including in IT and transportation management system (“TMS”) operations, as well as differences in culture and change management.

Our Impact

  • FTI Consulting accelerated the speed of the integration and helped define future state operational processes across all main TMS functions.
  • Our team worked with the acquirer’s system integrator to establish TMS workflows, including system enhancements, improvements and best-in-class processes.
  • The client was able to assume management of the target operating models for each workstream, including operations, IT, finance and accounting, HR and legal.

Our Role

  • FTI Consulting assessed operations across both businesses, mapped the critical business processes and defined a target future state through system enhancements and a dimensional approach.
  • We conducted a comprehensive assessment to help the business leaders select a scalable TMS system and define the future state technology ecosystem.
  • Our experts lead the creation of a robust target operating model and roll-out across all major workstreams.
  • We created an integration roadmap, layering all milestones, critical paths, dependencies and owners.
