“Every team member gets two to four weeks of discovery after signing, before we commit to a plan. Even after the plan, we stay flexible for new findings.”
head of integration, European group, 10,000 staff
When a group acquires, the companies arrive with their own systems. Asil reads across them in the first weeks after closing, without migrating anything, and surfaces what overlaps. Same client at two entities. Same supplier, contracted twice. A process that takes four days in one company and ten in another.
Renewal quote issued to Meridiaan Energie B.V., €140,000 uplift. Verbal yes, contracts this week.
P2 escalation open 21 days, 3 reopens. Meridiaan Energie S.L., billing figures disagree with meter data since the April cutover.
Same monitoring platform contracted separately in all three entities. No group agreement on file. Combined delta: €41,000 per year.
The problem
A group buying six companies a year has six charts of accounts, six client lists and six ways of describing the same supplier. Nobody built a data problem. They built an operating model that produces one every time it acquires.
Sales in one entity can’t see support in another. The renewal goes out anyway.
Three contracts, three entities, three prices. The group has one relationship and doesn’t know it.
Because discovery was manual, so the findings keep arriving after the plan was signed off.
What reading across means
Three supplier ledgers from three countries. Nothing is wrong with any of them individually, which is exactly why nobody has looked.
Three ledgers, three countries, three systems that don’t talk to each other.
How it works
Whatever the acquired companies brought with them, different formats, different languages, different charts of accounts. Nothing migrates and nobody changes how they work.
Meridiaan Energie B.V., Meridiaan Energie S.L. and MERIDIAAN GROUP are one client. Establishing that once is the expensive part; every question afterwards runs on it.
Shared clients, duplicated suppliers, diverging processes, concentration nobody priced. Each finding carries the records it came from, so it can be checked rather than trusted.
Findings arrive ranked, with an owner against each one and a prepared action where there is one. A person decides what happens. Nothing executes on its own.
Built for the people who own the numbers
The model reads structure and text. A deterministic engine computes every figure, so nothing is estimated and every number traces back to a record.
For client, supplier and payroll data across jurisdictions, where processing happens isn’t a preference. It stays in Europe, under European rules.
Asil doesn’t write into your systems. The acquired companies keep their own tools, their own teams and their own way of working.
