Product development

From the existing product to ODM/OEM production.

For businesses that already sell volumes: an own-brand product, developed with verified factories, validated samples and quality control. Consumer electronics first, then electric mobility, home, energy and industrial.

OEM / ODM

What OEM is and what ODM is.

OEM

The factory produces the client’s design

Specifications, design and components are defined by the client. The factory manufactures according to drawings and requirements.

  • Maximum control over design and components
  • More development work upstream
  • Suited to differentiating products
ODM

The factory provides an already designed product

The product exists: it is customised for brand, appearance, features and packaging.

  • Reduced development time and cost
  • Customisation within the limits of the existing base
  • Suited to fast market entry

Process

Six phases, each with a deliverable.

Each phase ends with a verifiable document or sample. The next phase starts only after approval.

The process in detail

  1. Product analysis

    Review of the starting product or idea: components, materials, costs, risks and positioning against equivalent products.

    Output: Analysis report
  2. Design and prototyping

    Definition of form, functions and interfaces, both physical and software, up to an assessable prototype.

    Output: Concept and prototype
  3. Factory selection and verification

    Shortlist with stated criteria, document review and visit, direct or through a third-party inspector named explicitly.

    Output: Comparison sheet and verification report
  4. Feasibility and specifications

    Technical specifications, bill of materials and quality requirements agreed with the chosen factory, with risks and costs made explicit.

    Output: Technical specification
  5. Sample and validation

    Samples compared against specifications, corrections and formal acceptance before moving to series production.

    Output: Validation report
  6. Production, quality control and launch

    Pre-series, quality control during production and before shipment, and support for the market launch.

    Output: Quality control plan

Who it is for

When it makes sense. And when it does not.

When it makes sense
  • Sales already running in volume, with a third-party product resold
  • Need to improve an existing product or change supplier
  • Stated development budget and an internal contact for compliance
  • An active or demonstrable sales channel
When it does not make sense
  • An idea with no development budget
  • A request for pure brokerage at the lowest price
  • A regulated product with no compliance contact
  • Expectations of a guaranteed sales outcome
