The relentless expansion of data volume, sources and types, is both an opportunity and a threat for business. Extracting insight from data is key to improving performance, addressing current and future business issues and ensuring the best deal outcomes.
KPMG Deal Advisory support our clients across a wide spectrum of business issues, be it as part of a deal, addressing issues or concerns in the business, or enabling timely response to regulators and third parties, while minimising risk. Key to this is using the right technology to provide unparalleled insight and better inform decision making.
How we can help
We use a broad suite of proprietary and third tools to ensure the right technology solution is available to our clients, coupled with expert knowledge and experience in its deployment. Examples of areas where Deal Advisory Technology can ensure better outcomes include:
KPMG’s Working Capital Optimisation Tool
KPMG’s bespoke technology can process large volumes of data from multiple systems across businesses, regardless of their size or the industry they operate in. The technology allows our team of specialists to quickly identify cash management inefficiencies across Receivables, Payables and Inventory, understand underlying issues and develop an immediate improvement plan, drawing on industry benchmarks.

KPMG DaRT platform
Where the quality and integrity of the data has a material impact on the value of a deal we have developed a technology platform which allows the identification, remediation and enrichment of large data sets in a structured and cost effective manner.
KPMG DaRT (Data Remediation Tool) is a flexible, web-based workflow platform that allows the seamless integration of multiple data sources to build a single point of truth. The process of data cleansing, validation and integration can be managed within the DaRT platform, ensuring a technology driven approach to quality assurance workflow, management and real time reporting.
KPMG Benchmarking Plus
Establishing industry benchmarks is essential to any acquisition or transaction. But all too often, company benchmarking doesn't provide the details and context required to pinpoint vulnerabilities or opportunities, allowing stakeholders to make a truly informed decision. More data to compare means better business benchmarking. That's why Benchmarking Plus goes beyond the usual publicly sourced data to set standards that really matter. The platform leverages KPMG's robust, proprietary database which gleans information from our engagements with private companies and large volumes of third party data.
Benchmarking Plus gives you access to a rich, accurate data set from your distinct peer group and enables us to compare and analyse your most important KPls against the most relevant benchmarks, virtually on demand. We're often able to deliver the data and insights you need in a matter of hours - a huge advantage in any transaction.
