Why a parent firm
Marketplace work is not the whole business.
Prime Guidance® is the specialist practice for Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Target, and TikTok Shop. All Industry Consulting is what we use when the question is larger: channel strategy, a PE diligence memo, a stack decision, merchandising architecture, or whether the brand should even be on a given marketplace.
- Operators who have held the P&L at Amazon, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and eBay Enterprise.
- Advice first. Execution when it changes the outcome. Results measured in contribution margin, not slide count.
- Month-to-month work. The point is that your team becomes self-sufficient.
Core work
Most clients come for one of these.
PE assessments
Commercial diligence on marketplace and omnichannel assets: quality of earnings, concentration risk, ad dependency, and what it takes to hold contribution after close.
Open the brief →Technology selection
ERP, OMS, PIM, feed, advertising, and analytics stacks — chosen against the operating model, not a vendor bake-off.
Open the brief →Interim management
Ecommerce, marketplace, merchandising, or GM coverage when the seat is empty. We run the P&L, hire or coach the permanent leader, and leave.
Open the brief →Merchandising & sourcing
Assortment, vendor acquisition, negotiations, packaging, lifecycle, closeouts, and open-to-buy.
Go-to-market
Wholesale, retail, marketplace, and DTC sequencing. Sales agency selection and retailer relationships.
Operations design
Fulfillment, inventory policy, returns, chargebacks, and the cadences that keep a growing P&L honest.
Engagements
A scoping call, then a ranked plan — not an 80-page deck.
Most AIC work starts with 30–45 minutes. If there is a fit, you get the decision, the work, the time, and the fee. Advisors stay on-call when you do not need a block of time. Marketplace execution is staffed at Prime Guidance.
