BearingPoint’s Contribution
As part of its due diligence process, BIP asked us to review Mercateo’s organization and technology stack, with a focus on the scalability and digital capabilities of the platform. To ensure alignment with BIP’s investment thesis, we adjusted our diligence framework to fit BIP’s needs. Beyond data room analysis, we interviewed key staff, including the CTO and IT Director, to enrich our assessment and properly anchor our recommendations. We delivered a final report covering all relevant digital domains and answered BIP’s queries, providing crucial support for BIP’s investment decision.
