Case studies

Six problems brands handed us, what we did about them and what changed. Categories differ, but the pattern rarely does: the unit price was never the real issue.

Frolik & CoToys and Baby
The problem
The Toothi teether needed a manufacturer who could hold food grade silicone tolerances and produce a US compliant Children's Product Certificate, not just quote a low unit price.
What we did
Shortlisted silicone moulders in Guangdong, ran a capability audit on the top three, arranged CPSIA and ASTM F963 testing through an accredited lab and managed tooling sign off.
Compliant production run delivered with full CPC documentation
Himalayan VitalsSupplements
The problem
Resin and capsule SKUs arriving in mixed 30g and 50g packaging, with inventory sitting in the wrong US location for order flow across Shopify, Amazon, eBay and TikTok Shop.
What we did
Rebuilt the packaging supply into master cartons at 60 units per carton, then handled the receiving, consolidation and relocation of the full US inventory to the new fulfillment address.
Single US stock pool feeding four sales channels
Royal's CollectionsHome and Kitchen
The problem
A general home goods catalogue spanning drying racks, lamp adapters, heat pads and shower sets, each from a different supplier, each with its own MOQ and lead time.
What we did
Consolidated the catalogue across four factory regions, negotiated combined MOQs and shipped as a single consolidated container instead of four separate freight bookings.
Four supplier shipments consolidated into one

The problem
A two part stain removal system where the scrub base needed custom tooling and the soap stick needed a manufacturer comfortable with a saponified formula and an SDS on file.
What we did
Sourced the tooling partner for the patented scrub base, managed the mould cost negotiation and set up the documentation pack including the safety data sheet required by marketplaces.
Tooling and SDS pack cleared for marketplace listing
OctraSupplements
The problem
Gummy supplement packaging that had to satisfy UK and EU labelling rules while keeping unit cost workable at launch volumes.
What we did
Sourced the pouch and jar packaging, ran artwork checks against permitted claims by ingredient and dose, and coordinated the print run with the fill and finish schedule.
Compliant packaging delivered on the launch date
Human Luxe HairBeauty
The problem
A premium wig line where inconsistent supply quality was the single biggest threat to a brand selling on trust at a high price point.
What we did
Verified and re-benchmarked the supplier base, introduced a batch level inspection protocol with photo evidence, and moved fulfillment out of a shared 3PL cluster into dedicated handling.
Batch inspection protocol now runs on every order
