Challenges:

As the company progressed, M&A became a core part of Recycle Track Systems’ growth strategy. Recycle Track System’s corporate development lead knew they needed to up their game when it came to the M&A process. They were using platforms such as Excel and Google Drive to manage documents with lawyers, accountants, advisors, sellers, and buyers, and realized the process was a “disaster”. It was very difficult to make sure documents were up to date and finding the proper document was a taxing experience. They were afraid of scaring off skittish sellers if the process were to stay the same, so this is when they knew they needed a platform like DealRoom

Solutions:

Unlike Excel and Google Drive, DealRoom could better assist with pipeline management and the full lifecycle of the process. It was an all-in-one solution so that they could easily access all necessary information quickly and in one organized space. They felt DealRoom could really assist with the diligence process and proper prioritization. The integrated requests tracking management system and the user interface were key highlights for solving issues for their team.
