AVILO managers propose and take the necessary steps to successfully complete integration and consolidation projects. This may involve expanding a company’s product vertically through investments or acquisitions of an existing business in order to increase its own efficiency and market power (referred to as vertical integration). Another example of increasing market share is the merger of businesses that are of a similar nature (referred to as horizontal integration). Integration and consolidation may also involve sub-areas and processes inside the company, such as information technology, human resources, marketing, and sales.
