THE CHALLENGE

Digital execution that keeps pace with your investment thesis

Mid-market PE firms face significant challenges when executing transformation initiatives across their portfolio. Reliance on fragmented external vendors for these projects leads to multiple handoffs, which in turn create misalignment, delays, and gaps in accountability. This disconnects critical strategic and executive technology decisions from the desired financial outcomes. Additionally, the absence of internal digital expertise complicates the assessment of technology risk during diligence and impedes effective post-close execution.

With product, engineering, UX, and data unified in one place, we eliminate vendor fragmentation. This prevents the delays and wasted hold period time that can hinder your transformation.

Digital discovery, technical due diligence, and modernization blueprints give your deal team and operators clarity and direction in weeks, not quarters.

Hold period velocity

We move with the pace of the PE timeline. Every phase is scoped, roadmapped, and delivered for momentum, from week one to exit.

Increased IRR

Every engagement is structured to directly increase both EBITDA and exit multiple. We prioritize automation, platform modernization, and customer experience improvements catered to your investment thesis and exit strategy.

THE CHALLENGE

Industry expertise that turns sector complexity into competitive advantage

As a sector-focused PE firm, you operate in industries where the margin for generic solutions is zero. Compliance requirements, patient engagement workflows, and financial scalability aren’t anomalies, they’re basic needs. Yet, most digital partners don’t have the necessary skillset to execute on those needs. The result is a persistent gap between strategic vision and technical delivery, playbooks that don’t transfer across portcos, and mounting pressure to deploy AI before the competition does.

Vertical-specific playbooks

We’ve built hundreds of healthcare and FinTech experiences, you can trust we know what we’re doing. Your portcos won’t ever pay the price for our learning curve.

Reusable frameworks

Proven solutions developed across one portco get deployed across your entire portfolio. What begins as a single engagement turns into a repeated framework.

Strategy to execution

We don’t just deliver strategy and leave. Our integrated product, design, and engineering teams deliver start to finish, every time.

AI & data at our core

AI, data infrastructure, and automation are built into each one of our engagements from the start. The result is measurable improvement in operational efficiency and revenue performance that holds up in vendor due diligence.

THE CHALLENGE

Repeatable digital playbooks across your entire portfolio

As an operator, LPs expect you to drive measurable value across every portfolio company. But internal teams are thin, expensive, have limited capability, vendor quality is inconsistent, and digital initiatives rarely come with a clear line back to EBITDA. The result is execution that varies by platform, reporting that obscures more than it reveals, and value creation plans that stall between strategy sign-off and meaningful delivery.

How Codal drives outcomes

Scalable execution

We act as an extension of your operating team, providing execution capacity across the portfolio without adding headcount. More coverage, deeper insights, same accountability.

Standardized frameworks

We don’t reinvent the wheel with each engagement. AI readiness assessments, automation audits, and digital maturity benchmarks are deployed across every portfolio company.

EBITDA-led outcomes

Every digital initiative is connected to a financial outcome, whether it’s cost reduction, margin improvement, customer acquisition, or revenue acceleration. If it doesn’t positively impact your numbers, we don’t prioritize it.

Prioritized value creation goals

Consistent delivery, reporting, and accountability structures are aligned to your value creation goals. That way, operating partners have clear visibility into what’s been done, what’s next, and what it’s worth.

PE firms we’ve worked with

Four phases. One partner. The full hold period.

We engage from due diligence through exit, bringing continuity, accountability, and compounding knowledge across the entire hold period.

PHASE 1

Digital due diligence

We quantify technical risk, surface hidden debt, and give your deal team a clear read on what the tech stack will actually cost to own, fix, and scale.

  • Tech stack assessment and risk score
  • Technical debt quantification
  • Digital maturity benchmark
  • Integration complexity analysis
  • 3-year tech investment model
  • Go / no-go recommendation
PHASE 2

Digital blueprinting

We translate our diligence findings into a prioritized action plan. We map quick wins to 30, 60, and 90-day milestones and provide a board-ready strategy that connects technology investment directly to the equity story.

  • 100-day digital action plan
  • Target-state architecture design
  • Quick-win identification (30/60/90)
  • Third-party vendor evaluation and selection
  • Technology budget and phasing
  • Board-ready digital strategy deck
PHASE 3

Digital value creation

We execute across the full tech stack, including platforms, integrations, automations, and data infrastructure, with end-to-end accountability and no handoff gaps between delivery and strategy.

  • eCommerce platform build / migration
  • ERP integration and automation
  • AI / ML implementation
  • CMS and content platform
  • Data infrastructure and dashboards
  • Ongoing optimization and iteration
PHASE 4

Exit preparation

We prepare your portfolio company to pass vendor due diligence, craft a credible technology growth strategy, and hand off cleanly. Our goal is to protect the value youu2019ve built.

  • Vendor DD prep package
  • Architecture documentation
  • Technical debt remediation
  • Scalability and performance testing
  • Digital growth narrative for CIM
  • Transition / hand-off planning

One structured entry point.

Most PE firms stall on digital because there's no clear starting point. It's typically a growing list of competing priorities and confusion around ownership. Our digital discovery solves that challenge. In four to six weeks, we assess your company's tech stack, quantify all opportunities in terms of bottom-line impact, and deliver a board-ready roadmap that can be executed immediately.
