Every project has different requirements, but a clear structure keeps the important decisions connected. KOBO brings formula, packaging, testing, manufacturing and project coordination into six practical stages.
We begin by understanding what you are building, who it is for, where it will be sold and how far the project has progressed.
KEY ACTIONS
CLARIFY THE OBJECTIVE
REVIEW MARKET AND CHANNEL
IDENTIFY MISSING DECISIONS
RECOMMEND THE DEVELOPMENT ROUTE
STAGE OUTCOMEA clearer brief, initial scope and recommended development route.
02
STAGE 02 · FORMULA & SAMPLE DEVELOPMENT
Turn the brief into something you can evaluate.
Depending on the chosen route, KOBO recommends relevant mature formulas or develops a custom direction around the agreed performance and sensorial objectives.
KEY ACTIONS
REVIEW REFERENCES
DEFINE TEXTURE, FRAGRANCE AND APPLICATION
PREPARE SAMPLES
COLLECT FEEDBACK AND REFINE
STAGE OUTCOMEAn approved development sample and provisional product specification.
03
STAGE 03 · SPECIFICATION, TESTING & PACKAGING
Connect formula, packaging and market requirements.
Once the product direction is agreed, the project moves from exploration toward a controlled specification.
KEY ACTIONS
CONFIRM THE FORMULA
DEFINE TESTING AND CLAIMS DIRECTION
SELECT OR DEVELOP PACKAGING
PLAN MARKET-SPECIFIC INFORMATION
STAGE OUTCOMEA confirmed specification, packaging direction, test plan and project-specific documentation scope.
04
STAGE 04 · QUOTATION & PROJECT CONFIRMATION
Confirm the scope before committing to production.
When formula, packaging and quantity are sufficiently defined, KOBO consolidates the commercial and operational requirements.
KEY ACTIONS
CONFIRM QUANTITY
DEFINE PACKAGING AND PACKING
REVIEW DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS
ALIGN RESPONSIBILITIES AND TERMS
STAGE OUTCOMEA formal quotation with an agreed project scope, responsibilities and schedule.
05
STAGE 05 · MANUFACTURING & QUALITY CONTROL
Move the approved product into controlled production.
The approved formula, packaging and specifications become the reference points for materials planning, bulk production, filling, assembly and quality control.
KEY ACTIONS
PLAN MATERIALS
COMPLETE APPLICABLE INCOMING CHECKS
MANUFACTURE, FILL AND ASSEMBLE
COMPLETE FINISHED-PRODUCT REVIEW
STAGE OUTCOMEFinished goods prepared for release according to the agreed project requirements.
06
STAGE 06 · DELIVERY & ONGOING SUPPORT
Deliver the project—and create a basis for what comes next.
KOBO coordinates agreed release and delivery requirements and can support reorders, product updates and future range development.
KEY ACTIONS
CONFIRM SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARE AGREED EXPORT INFORMATION
COORDINATE DELIVERY COMMUNICATION
MAINTAIN PROJECT INFORMATION
STAGE OUTCOMEA released shipment and a clearer foundation for ongoing cooperation.
STRUCTURED, NOT RIGID
The sequence is clear. The details remain project-specific.
Activities may overlap or change order according to the formula, packaging, claims, destination market and project complexity. KOBO confirms the relevant responsibilities, cost and timing after reviewing the brief.
