Our Social Solution delivers affordable, high-impact support for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). By leveraging cost-effective overseas expertise, we create and manage engaging Instagram and Facebook posts, maximizing your brand’s reach. For TikTok, we can support the  mechanics for TikTok Shop.​

While limited for 2025 to establish policy, procedures and a playbook, we play on growing this channel in 2026 as a bolt on. 

C. A. T.

Continental Analytics Tool

Over the past two years, our e-commerce team addressed the industry-wide challenge of an insatiable demand for data and effective data aggregation by developing C.A.T., our proprietary solution. This innovative tool has enabled us to move away from Tableau, providing a more tailored, independent platform that enhances our ability to deliver actionable insights to clients, strengthening our service offerings and competitive edge. Amazon, Walmart, and Shopify are fully integrated. We plan on adding Retail in 2026.​

Revenue Recovery​

Outside of Account Management, this is our biggest area for growth. Currently in a pilot program, we have recovered over $625K in revenue for a limited number of clients. Our most recent audit reveals that there is an additional 1.1M in funds potentially recoverable. We plan to offer this service for 15% – 20% of recovered funds. ​

In 2021, several clients faced cash flow challenges due to supply chain disruptions, with multiple shipments arriving simultaneously and requiring cash-on-delivery payments. To address the resulting pressure on our commissions, we responded by expanding our service offerings to provide greater value and support to our clients.​

Strengths

Five years of refined e-commerce skills deliver high-value client services​

Weaknesses

Attracting low-quality leads results in time-intensive clients​

✓ Poor Contract Structures​

Contracts formatted for retail and not marketplace​

Often non commissionable work is done with little or no acknowledgement

Opportunities

✓ Revenue Recovery​

Streamlined processes to recover owed payments enhance cash flow. ​

✓ Multi-Service Contracts

Offering bundled services (ex. Amazon, Walmart, Social) increases client retention and revenue​

✓ Improved Invoicing​

Better invoicing captures commission reinvestments for digital advertising and analytics growth.

Threats

Losing Maxi or Andis could reduce commissions by a minimum of 25%.​

For the last 10+ years, Ecommerce contributions to CMI have been heavily weighted to Andis & Maximatic. All other commissions have equated to 50% of revenue. ​

A significant change for 2026 and beyond is the contracts for 3P. Working with clients that have the capacity to sell 1M+ on AMZ / WMT and can fund a retainer. With 1P, you are working for future Pos. With the Marketplace, every day without sales is commission lost. Retainers protect the bottom line.  ​

Walmart has invested significantly in their .com and manufactures are taking notice. While out of Pilot, we plan this channel scaling by 2027 to directly compete with Amazon. We now have the capability of managing both 1P and 3P but focus more on 3P now. ​
