Stage 1 – The Brief: The client gives us a detailed brief on the type of product they are looking for, the flavour profile, expected wholesale and retail price points, shelf life, packaging and standards to be conformed to (for ex. US FDA, Health Canada, European EFSA, FSSAI India etc).
Stage 2 – Identification & sourcing: Indigo’s Sourcing teams identify the right suppliers for the product and conduct a detailed evaluation of supplier pedigree, global markets already being served, quality standards adhered to, and product pricing.
Stage 3 – Product Development: Once the supplier is shortlisted, Indigo works with the client and the supplier to develop the right product at the desired target price.
Stage 4 – Packaging Development: Indigo’s in-house Art studio works with the client to develop the retail product packaging. This service is optional.
Stage 5 – Production & Supply: Indigo’s Procurement team works with the manufacturer to ensure the product is supplied to the right quality standards and on time. Indigo’s team in the manufacturing country also ensures that products are packed and despatched as per agreed specifications.
On a case to case basis Indigo also works with select manufacturers that are looking at entering North American or European markets for expanding their global customer portfolios. Contact Us to speak to a Representative of our Sourcing Department.
