Customer Background
A home appliance distributor was looking to introduce two new blender models into their local market. To differentiate their products from competitors and appeal to a broader consumer base, they wanted to offer multiple color options for each model.
However, as this was a new product launch, the customer needed to carefully manage inventory levels and minimize financial risk while testing market demand.
The Challenge
Under our standard production requirements, the minimum order quantity (MOQ) was 1,000 units per color for each blender model.
For the customer, this created several challenges:
- A large upfront investment for inventory
- Higher warehousing and stock management costs
- Increased risk when launching new products
- Limited flexibility to test consumer preferences across different colors
In order to successfully enter the market, the customer required a solution that would enable them to produce multiple colour variations without significantly increasing their order volume.
Kodio’s Solution
Once we had understood the customer’s objectives, Kodio collaborated closely with our packaging suppliers, component partners and production teams to develop a more flexible manufacturing plan.
Thanks to careful production scheduling and supply chain coordination, we were able to:
- Reduce the MOQ to approximately 500 units per model
- Offer four different color options for each blender model
- Optimize packaging production to control costs
- Consolidate production runs for improved efficiency
- Support the customer with launch planning and inventory management
By leveraging our flexible OEM manufacturing capabilities, we created a solution that balanced customization, cost efficiency, and market competitiveness.
