Independent operational and commercial advisory for private equity firms and portfolio companies in industrial, equipment, and field service businesses.
Grounded in industrial B2B experience, Melior Advisory helps evaluate operating risks, strengthen sales and service performance, and translate acquisition plans into practical operating priorities.
Measure service, repair, and maintenance performance: technician productivity, first-time fix, parts availability, and the profitability of service agreements.
Margins, cash conversion, and growth come from specific operating conditions.
In industrial, equipment, and field service businesses, the same conditions recur:
Skilled employees delivering work in the field or shop.
Scheduling, travel, parts, and repeat visits affecting profitability.
Pricing and service agreements determining whether revenue converts to profit.
Growth requiring sufficient operating capacity and effective management.
Acquisitions creating questions about branches, systems, customers, and execution.
Melior Advisory examines those conditions directly, so investment and operating plans reflect how the business actually sells, schedules, delivers, and bills its work.
A quality of earnings report tests whether earnings are real. This paper examines five operating gaps it leaves open in equipment and field service deals, and how to test them before close.
