ODM Product Development & Engineering
Designing a product without taking into consideration the realistic parameters of material application and manufacturing process can often result in product designs that are not feasible for cost effective production, thereby preventing a product development project from moving forward. This obstacle can cause severe delays in time to market for a new product, as well as adding significant, unnecessary overrun of costs in time and money to the product development process.
Our dedicated team consisting of customer service account executives and highly proficient engineers possess extensive experience in product development, and will work with our clients efficiently and effectively to optimize the product design for cost-effective production feasibility through the following process:
Product Requirements Identification
We work with our clients to identify product requirements, such as performance ratings and safety standards to meet the demands of consumers, actual usage environments, and product longevity, and correspondingly identify the suitable material specifications, tolerances, and manufacturing process to meet those requirements.
Manufacturer Selection
We then select a suitable manufacturer capable of executing the production of the design which meets the above requirements and parameters.
Design Optimization
Combining technical feedback from the manufacturer with engineering solutions proposed by our team, we help our clients optimize the design for cost-effective production, while satisfying both product specifications and manufacturing requirements.
Prototype Validation
If tooling is required for production, our team can work with the client and the selected manufacturer to produce a functioning prototype sample to validate the design prior to investing in tooling development. This worthwhile investment will avoid unnecessary tooling modification costs and the associated delays.
Track and Monitor
During the production process, our team will continue to manage the production schedule and delivery timeline, track and monitor manufacturing progress, trouble-shoot and resolve any issues that may cause potential delays to maintain momentum, and through our methodical sample approval process, ensure that the critical product specifications and requirements are correctly and accurately executed by the manufacturer.
Product Sourcing, Private Branding, & Packaging
Sourcing a readily available product for private branding, applying your valuable brand onto the product and presented in an attractive private branded packaging, is an effective way to quickly expand your product offering. Opportunities for further differentiation and uniqueness can also be explored by implementing subtle modifications to a readily available product, to further optimize fitment and function. However, there are certain risks involved in product sourcing for private branding, such as manufacturing quality issues, and incorrect execution of private branding elements on the product and packaging, which may result in adverse effects of tarnishing your brand value and reputation. Our product sourcing service is designed to mitigate those potential risks, and to ensure correct execution of your private branding requirements.
Our dedicated team consisting of customer service account executives and highly proficient engineers will work with our clients efficiently and effectively to source a product for private branding, and to ensure that the private branding and quality requirements are executed correctly on the product as well as on the packaging through the following process:
