Challenge: High MoQs, Long lead-times and Lack of Flexibility with conventional Manufacturers

  • Traditional CDMOs required large MOQs, made it difficult for the startup brand to validate market demand before committing.
  • Setting up production with conventional manufacturers involved lengthy setup times, delaying the brand’s market entry.
  • The startup brand needed to iterate on formulations quickly, but rigid CDMO processes made real-time modifications impractical.

Solution: On-Demand Manufacturing Flexibility, Agile Development & Leumasware® led Quality Assurance

  • Leumas’ modular robot factories enabled the brand to produce small, flexible batches without MOQ constraints till PMF was established
  • Software-driven production allowed for rapid formulation adjustments, significantly reducing time spent in R&D cycles.
  • The brand avoided heavy upfront investments by leveraging Leumas’ scalable infrastructure, paying only for actual production.

Impact: Lower Cost of Innovation, Improved Speed to Market

  • The brand launched entire portfolio of 3 product lines in just 3 months instead of the industry standard of 5-6 months.
  • The startup reduced upfront costs significantly by avoiding traditional CDMO MoQ commitments for first few batches and also made product improvements.
  • With real-time production adjustments, the brand was able to refine its product based on early consumer feedback.
