What can we develop together?
-
A sourced project or white label product refers to a product that is manufactured by a third party but branded and sold under your company’s name. Instead of designing and developing a product from scratch, you select an existing product made by a manufacturer, customize it with your brand's logo and packaging, and then market it as your own. This approach allows you to quickly bring products to market without the time and expense of full product development, while still having a product that fits your brand's identity and customer needs.from the factory's existing production processes and expertise.
-
A modified factory product is an existing product that is customized to meet your specific needs or preferences. Instead of developing a completely new product, you start with a product already being manufactured and make adjustments to features, design elements, or materials to better align with your brand or customer requirements. This can include changes like altering colors, adding new functions, or upgrading materials. It's a quicker and more cost-effective way to create a unique product while still benefiting from the factory's existing production processes and expertise.
-
A full development product is an entirely new product created from scratch, starting with an idea and moving through the stages of design, prototyping, and manufacturing. This process involves developing unique features, design elements, and functionality that don’t currently exist in the market. Full product development typically includes research, concept creation, design refinement, prototyping for testing, and final production. While this approach takes more time and resources, it results in a completely original product tailored specifically to your brand and customer needs, offering the most creativity and differentiation in the market.
