Pelorus Advisors Information

PE-backed manufacturers don't fail because they lack technology. They fail because they deploy it wrong. ERP implementations run over budget. Systems go live missing critical functionality. Portfolio companies head into an exit without the operational data story that drives multiple expansion. And when the technology leader isn't strong — or doesn't exist — every other value creation initiative slows down. Pelorus Advisors exists for exactly that moment. We provide fractional CIO services and ERP advisory to manufacturing and industrial companies operating in private equity environments. Our principal, Tim Monahan, brings 25+ years of experience as a working CIO inside PE-backed manufacturers — not as an outside consultant who has studied the environment, but as an operator who has owned the outcomes. What we do: — Fractional CIO engagements (project-based or ongoing retainer) — IT capability assessments for PE due diligence — ERP selection — vendor-neutral, manufacturing-specific — Business process mapping and Lean-driven process improvement — ERP implementation oversight and rescue What makes us different: We don't take implementation commissions. We don't sell software. We bring Lean Six Sigma discipline and the operator's perspective to every engagement — ensuring your ERP investment maps to real process improvement, not just system configuration. If your company is heading into a 100-day plan, navigating a carve-out, or approaching exit with technology gaps that could compress your multiple — that's where we work best.
