With their proven formula of trends analysis, operational excellence, and relationship-building, these successful product innovators are trusted partners to retail clients and other entrepreneurs.
What We Do
For Retailers
We provide our retail partners with profitable products sourced directly from our global manufacturers.
Trend Analysis
Spotting trends and translating them to the mass market is our specialty. We develop innovative products that fill white space and create incremental sales.
Product Design & Development
With design teams in the USA and Asia, we combine trend forecasting and eye-catching packaging solutions to develop new, innovative products with proprietary designs.
Merchandising Strategy
We team with innovative design and manufacturing experts to ensure products sell. We can work with any planogram or store layout to creating fully packed, display-ready fixtures.
Quality Assurance/Compliance
Our QA team works with world-renown 3rd-party testing agencies on routine factory audits and inspections to ensure our products are both compliant and responsibly manufactured.
Supply Chain Management
Our relationships with Asian manufactures extend far beyond the assembly line. Purchasing raw materials allows us to better manage costs, reduce lead times and maintain competitive pricing.
Category Management
After the sale has been made, our team works tirelessly to manage in-stocks and ensure that all shipments arrive on time, in full.
For Entrepreneurs
We’re now offering our expertise to help entrepreneurs identify and bring their products to market.
Product Development & Sourcing
We provide consulting to help individuals and small companies turn their ideas into products.
E-commerce Selling
We can list your products on platforms like Amazon, Walmart.com and Shopify or help you build an e-commerce site.
Retail Representation
