The Story

The merger of two leading grocery chains offered substantial opportunities for scale, but its success depended on the careful execution of the integration process. By expertly steering the company through this intricate transition, we enabled a transformative evolution in its operating model, organizational structure, and strategic realization of synergies across its broader network.

As a result, the company and its customers now enjoy the advantages of a merger that has delivered significant efficiencies across the unified organization.

What Did Consam Do

The company’s merger successfully integrated an extensive network of stores across several countries, forming a cohesive and unified organization. After the transaction was finalized, company leadership took a strategic step to reimagine the organization’s structure and direction.

Demonstrating a firm dedication to capturing synergies equivalent to roughly 1% of sales by the third year after the merger, our team played a pivotal role in developing a thorough and actionable roadmap to guide this initiative. By harnessing the insights of our experienced retail experts, we ensured strategic alignment and execution.

A key component of the transformation was the unification of the two companies’ IT organizations. Before the merger, these departments had shown suboptimal performance and had limited prior exposure to large-scale integration efforts.
