Singulier, a Franco-British strategy consulting firm, has launched Holis, a data analytics platform intended to deliver insights to private equity investors and drive more effective decision-making throughout the investment cycle.
In an environment where rising interest rates have made private equity firms more cautious and selective, Holis will help investors secure a deeper understanding of their targets and bulletproof their investment theses. It will also assist funds in monitoring the performance and improvement of their portfolio companies.
Holis mixes, analyses, and corrects multiple data sources to quickly and cost-effectively generate sound assumptions to build upon for general partners. The platform performs market and competition analyses in as little as two days and digital due diligence in one week, three times less than when performed by a team of analysts. By automating the most time- consuming segments of the due diligence process, Holis helps private equity professionals focus on potential levers for value creation.
The platform developed by Holis leverages the strategic expertise gained by Singulier as a sparring partner of private equity funds over the past five years, especially on digital and e-commerce targets. It also relies on a close partnership with foxintelligence by Nielsen IQ, a panel allowing access to 30+ million consumers worldwide and their purchases. Before going live, Holis has supported more than 30 due diligences for leading players in a beta version over the last 12 months.
