VMware Disk Consolidation Avamar 7.1.2

I am having issues with VMs failing VM Image backups. The issue is 9/10 the VM needs a disk consolidation. I have a powercli script I run every morning to tell me what VMs need to be consolidated, but is there a way to force a Disk consolidation before the Avamar Snapshot? I know you can run a pre-script, but can Avamar run powercli scripts? Does anyone else have this issue? Thank you.

PS Here is the Powercli script i run to find and consolidate VM disks:

Get-VM |

Where-Object {$_.Extensiondata.Runtime.ConsolidationNeeded} |

ForEach-Object {

  $_.ExtensionData.ConsolidateVMDisks()

}
