INDUSTRIES / PRIVATE EQUITY

Value creation in the portcos, without betting the asset.

Every portfolio company runs different systems, and the value creation plan needs AI wins that do not put the asset at risk. Structify is the foundation those wins get built on, one application at a time, in whatever the portco already runs.

WHO IT IS FOR

Who it is for.

Funds whose portfolio companies run on systems nobody would choose twice.

  • Industrial platforms
    • Quote and order intake
    • Month-end close and reporting
    • One governed copy of the operating data
  • Roll-ups and add-ons
    • Post-acquisition catalog harmonization
    • Diligence and integration data
    • Reporting that survives a new system
  • Distribution and services
    • Order status and quoting
    • Field service and warranty records
    • Aftermarket capture rate
  • Fund operations
    • Board and lender reporting packs
    • Portfolio-wide KPI extraction
    • Ownership change tracking
WHY THE RISK IS LOW

The downside is one application, not a transformation programme.

AI at a portco usually fails on commitment, not on capability: a multi-year programme signed before anything runs. The foundation inverts that.

One application, then a decision

The first application goes live in production before anyone commits to a programme. If it does not pay, the engagement stops there.

Client-owned code

Every change reviewed and logged, and the code belongs to the portco. Nothing about the exit depends on us staying.

Whatever the portco already runs

The foundation connects to the ERP, PDM, QMS and spreadsheets in place. No rip and replace as a precondition.

WHERE IT USUALLY STARTS

The first applications we would build with a portco.

Examples, not shipped catalog items. Which one comes first depends on where the operating drag actually is.

  • Quote and order intakeThe work that gates revenue at most industrial portcos, and the one most often still done by hand.
  • Month-end close and reportingThe same definitions every month, so the numbers the board sees are assembled rather than rebuilt.
  • Diligence and integration dataOne governed copy of the operating data, which is what makes the next add-on cheaper to absorb.

We deliver alongside the consultants and systems integrators your portcos already work with. Read why the foundation matters for the longer argument.
