Portuguese term or phrase: processos mais eficazes, alinhados e curtos
'Todo esse processo está muito conectado a TI, uma vez que há soluções de tecnologia que permitem a gestão da produtividade, garantindo processos mais eficazes, alinhados e curtos."

Difficulty using two different forms of the comparative ("more", "-er") in the same sentence. Looking for a graceful (and grammatical) solution. Thank you!

more effectual, dovetailed and streamlined processes


Explanation:
This way 'more' can refer to all three adjectives.

I beleive one of the qualifiers is streamlined - it's either numbers two or three.

Note the differences between effectual, effective, efficient and (med) efficacious.
