Readiness and constraints
Channel, target market, service model, forecast, management capacity and launch constraints.
Zollerz Brand Lab
Build the product line your channel is ready to own.
For distributors that know their customers but need a disciplined route through product definition, China manufacturing, validation and launch.
Illustrative validation scene. Product, facility and personnel are not presented as client or factory proof.
Paid entry product
Brand Launch Assessment
A fixed-scope decision project before a distributor commits to samples, certification, packaging, or a first order. It is designed to prevent an attractive quote from becoming the wrong commercial programme.
Quoted after qualification / no public blanket commission
Assortment architecture
A first product-line logic built around customer use, price position, variants and channel reality.
Commercial frame
Target price and margin logic, sensitivity ranges, order assumptions and the variables that can move them.
Manufacturing routes
Capability profiles and route options to verify — not an unqualified supplier directory.
Risk register
Compliance, warranty, service, spare parts, quality, timing and capital risks made visible.
Decision roadmap
A go, revise, or no-go recommendation with a staged 90-day action plan.
Launch programme
Six gates. One unresolved-risk list.
The programme advances only when the decision artefact for the current gate is usable. That keeps supplier activity tied to a commercial brief and gives the distributor a visible stop or revise point.

Operating roadmap
Project-specific by design
The number is useful only after the variables are named.
MOQ, lead time, certification, warranty and logistics are not universal website facts. They become decision inputs once the target market, product and manufacturing route are defined.
MOQ and price
Product, configuration, packaging, tooling, forecast and commercial route
Lead time
Factory load, component availability, sample rounds, certification and order timing
Compliance
Target market, product category, refrigerant, importer role and technical file
Warranty
Channel promise, failure assumptions, spare-parts plan and supplier terms
Logistics
Incoterm, consolidation, packaging volume, dangerous-goods rules and destination
Responsibility matrix
Clear ownership prevents invisible gaps.
Zollerz coordinates the route and decision work. The distributor retains the brand, market, importer and channel responsibilities that cannot be outsourced by wording.
Zollerz coordinates
- Readiness and opportunity framing
- Product and assortment brief
- Manufacturing-route research and verification plan
- Commercial comparison and negotiation support
- Sample, quality and production-readiness coordination
- Launch and replenishment handoff inputs
The client owns
- Market forecast and final investment decision
- Brand and channel strategy
- Importer and product-compliance obligations
- Final specification, sample and order approvals
- Warranty promise, local service and customer support
- Contracts, payments and acceptance of commercial risk
Questions before scope
The useful answers are conditional.
Do you publish a factory list?
No. A factory name without a product brief, market, volume, compliance route and verification record is not a useful deliverable.
Can you quote the first order immediately?
A preliminary range may be possible, but a comparable commercial route requires aligned specifications, terms and assumptions.
Do you guarantee certification or launch timing?
No. Zollerz coordinates the evidence and decision route. The applicable obligations, testing route and timing depend on the product, market and importer role.
What is the first paid step?
For most qualified distributors, it is a Brand Launch Assessment. Smaller, isolated decisions may fit a founder-led advisory session or scoped memo.

Decide what deserves a sample before you pay for one.
Bring the market, channel and category you already know. We will identify the missing decisions, evidence and commercial route before proposing the next scope.
