Get Into Gear

Gearsupply came out of its founders track record of buying and selling used professional event A/V gear. The market is disaggregated, the opportunity is to create a two-sided marketplace that brought buyers and sellers together.

When 19prince got involved, Gearsupply had built a minimum viable product and was looking to prove out the business and increase investment.

Over six months: 

• Stabilized the website by focusing on removing extra services, plugins, and scripts. All unplanned outages came to an end, and we reduced load times by 50%. 
• Implemented a Kanban style project management system, which was replicated across all departments. Ideas were captured, tasks were tracked & deadlines were met.
• Instituted weekly meetings where we reported on our projects and key performance indicators.
• Based on strategic growth planning exercises, we identified holes in the organization's resourcing. Once indentified, we create job scorecards for those roles and filled a few key roles with our rigorous hiring methodology.

The engagement end with tight executional focus, meeting quarterly sales goals.
