Who we help

Private equity

You acquire. We level it up.

We help Private Equity and family office firms accelerate value creation by making portfolio companies scalable, efficient, and future-ready.

When every company runs differently, transformation gets expensive.

You know your portfolio should perform better. When every brand runs on different processes and different systems, you can't see what's working, you can't fix what's not, and every transformation costs more than it should.

Fragmented operations

No shared standards means no visibility, consistency, or control.

Technology risk

The right tool means nothing without adoption, integration, and governance.

Portfolio companies integrated

See case studies

Process, technology, and visibility. Across every brand you own.

Every portfolio company has a unique value path. But other components can be standardized at the process and systems level, gaining you true economies of scale.

Process clarity and standardization

We map how work actually happens across your brands, identify waste, and design repeatable processes that scale across every company you own.

Technology that fits your reality

We evaluate systems based on your portfolio's specific needs, not vendor noise. The right tool is the one your teams will actually use across every location.

Portfolio-level ROI, not just brand-level fixes

One ERP selected and shared across brands costs a fraction of what each company buying separately would pay. Centralized processes mean you can grow your portfolio without growing your team.

A proven process for lasting results

The Meira method

Most engagements move through these three steps. Some clients come to us at the beginning. Some are already mid-implementation. We meet you where you are and see it through to the end.

Mature the business

Start with the end in mind. Define what this project must deliver, establish the baseline and identify what needs to change. Then map each step from the current state to the future state, so future processes define requirements.

Define the 'stack'

Define what software, of any kind, needs to stay, go, be maintained, or be used more fully and effectively. Be the red-thread from RFP definition through contract signature providing vendor-agnostic support throughout. We sit on your side of the table.

See it through to adoption

Full program management, change management, design oversight, User Acceptance Testing (UAT), data planning, training, and go-live support. Holding vendors and the full team accountable to what was promised.

Enterprise

"They've been really quick to learn our business and adapt, but at the same time give that outside perspective, which is what we really need. Having that input from the outside not only validates what we know but provides new perspective and guides us in navigating this complex project."

Frequently asked questions

What you need to know about this engagement

What does an ERP cost?

ERPs have direct and indirect costs. Direct costs stem from the platform licenses, integrations with other applications, implementation vendor (VAR) costs, and costs of support services such as Meira. Reach out if you'd like a rough estimate of an ERP program, based on your organization.

How long does this take?

Timeline depends on scope and complexity. A focused assessment might take four to eight weeks. A full transformation journey typically spans six to eighteen months. We'll be clear about the path and milestones from day one.

What's the cost?

Some projects are fixed fee, others are T&M. It depends on the clarity of scope and client preferences. Costs reflect the scope of work, your organization's size, and the complexity of what you're trying to solve. We'll provide a clear estimate before you commit.

Do you work with our team?

Yes. We embed with your people, not instead of them. Your team learns the methodology and builds capability alongside us. When we leave, you keep the knowledge and the discipline.

Can you work within our constraints?

We've worked within union agreements, procurement rules, budget freezes, and tight timelines. We understand that transformation doesn't happen in a vacuum. Constraints shape the solution.

What if we're mid-way through?

We can support at any point. Mid-implementation and losing momentum? We diagnose what's working and what needs correction. Already picked a system? We'll make sure adoption actually happens.
