When Chaos Threatened Milions in Value,
Quantum Delivered Quality and Results.
The Situation:
A high-stakes corporate carve-out was on the brink of collapse. Two weeks behind schedule and spiraling toward failure, the sponsor’s deal team was in chaos. With three consulting firms involved — none of which had actual PMO experience — the project was plagued by missed deliverables, fragmented communication, and rising costs.
The executive team was stretched thin, drowning in overlapping workflows and disconnected processes. Critical transition plans for finance, technology, and operations were missing, and the ERP implementation alone was projected to take two years. With operations spread across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, the complexity was compounded by currency challenges, disjointed banking systems, and a lack of Spanish-speaking resources.
Millions in enterprise value were on the line.
The Solution:
Quantum Performance Partners was called in to turn the tide.
From day one, we took control. Our team established program leadership, integrating all external consultants, management teams, and the sponsor into a unified governance structure. Within days, we built a master project plan with clear accountability, communication channels, and risk management protocols.
Where other firms lacked expertise, we deployed Quantum specialists — including international sourcing and cross-border fulfillment experts — to lead critical initiatives. We deconstructed complex workstreams, rebuilding them into efficient, cost-effective solutions that accelerated readiness.
Rather than relying on a cumbersome, two-year ERP transition, we implemented a simplified, fit-for-purpose architecture that cut costs and drastically accelerated timelines. Our approach streamlined transitional service agreement (TSA) dependencies and aligned operations, ensuring a seamless Day 1 and post-close execution.
Quantum didn’t just advise — we executed. Providing hands-on leadership and mentoring, we brought clarity, calm, and momentum where others saw only obstacles.
The Impact:
Closed the transaction 2 weeks ahead of schedule — saving 6 weeks overall.
Reduced TSA timeline by up to 75%, eliminating millions in transitional service costs.
Identified and executed $5M+ in post-transaction cost savings.
Simplified finance, technology, and supply chain processes — enabling add-on acquisitions within 6 months.
