The Business Problem:

Scaling Fast (Without Losing Alignment)

PowerVac Group is a U.S.-based industrial, municipal, and commercial infrastructure services company with a national footprint and a growing portfolio of specialized brands.

Through an acquisition-driven growth strategy, PowerVac quickly expanded its capabilities across infrastructure maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation - everything from sewer and stormwater systems to HVAC, electrical, trenchless technology, and environmental services.

With that growth came complexity.

Each acquired company brought its own systems, leadership styles, and ways of working.

“We had fragmented alignment. Strategy lived in plans and meetings, but there was limited visibility into execution. Not everyone was speaking the same language,” says David Lusky, CEO of PowerVac.

David describes that stage as “organized chaos” - a feeling many fast-growing, acquisition-driven companies know well.

When Private Equity Raised the Stakes

The pressure increased as PowerVac became private equity–backed.

“When you’re in the private equity world, there are higher investor expectations,” David shared. “You have to be disciplined with capital spend, reporting, and alignment - everything has to connect.”

Leadership needed a way to scale without adding unnecessary overhead. They needed real-time visibility, clearer accountability, and a system that could support growth - not slow it down.

How Rhythm Helped:

Creating a Single Source of Truth Across the Enterprise

As PowerVac continued to grow through acquisition, leadership didn’t just need better plans—they needed shared visibility into execution across a rapidly expanding enterprise. Each acquired entity brought its own priorities, processes, and reporting rhythms, making it harder to see what was truly moving the business forward.

Rhythm became the system that unified strategy and execution across every entity,

Strategic priorities were translated into quarterly initiatives, each with an owner and measurable outcomes. Instead of asking, “Are we aligned?” leaders could finally see the answer.

Turning Strategy into Weekly Execution

Rhythm also closed the gap between long-term strategy and day-to-day work. Leaders and managers could see their goals weekly, reinforcing focus and accelerating execution.

“When people can see their goals every day - every week - it transitions activity into execution much faster.”

This weekly visibility created consistency across entities that previously operated independently, ensuring that teams weren’t just aligned in theory, but in practice.

Key outcomes included:

• More consistent goal-setting and reporting across all entities.
• Real-time visibility into execution, without added administrative work.
• Clear ownership and accountability at every level.

From Silos to Synergy

As alignment improved at the executive level, something unexpected happened: collaboration across entities accelerated. Rhythm made it easier to track shared initiatives, cross-selling opportunities, and operational dependencies, without relying on spreadsheets or disconnected platforms. This visibility helped PowerVac move faster with confidence, reducing friction and enabling better decision-making across the organization.

Empowering Middle Management - and the Resulting Cultural Shift

Rhythm helped all leadership, from executives to middle management, communicate not just what the company was doing, but why. Growth became something to be excited about, not afraid of.

That sense of purpose has strengthened engagement across frontline teams, managers, and leadership alike.

The Results:

Faster Growth, Stronger Margins, Better Execution

Since fully embracing Rhythm, PowerVac has seen measurable, tangible results:

• Revenue grew from $75M to $115M in just two years
• Profit margins increased from 14.5% to nearly 18%
• Execution speed improved as teams focused daily and weekly on the right priorities

Showing Progress to Investors and the Board

For a private equity-backed organization, transparency matters.

Rhythm made it easy to demonstrate progress, articulate priorities, and invite meaningful board-level feedback. Instead of reactive reporting, PowerVac now operates with confidence and clarity - internally and externally.
