We serve as a CMO and as an outsourced director of supply chain (CMOS). Having ourselves experienced the hair-pulling, frustrating exercise of trying to manage supply chains, we determined to control our own. We offer our expertise to customers so they can focus on monetizing their brands and maximizing profit instead of managing their suppliers.
GenLabs senior manager have years of experience managing all aspects of supply chain requirements, from designing and costing products to production, packaging, and delivery to your store shelf.
We believe that the brand and retailers want to focus on building the value of the product: establishing a strong and sustainable market presence; accelerating product placement and sell through; and maximizing their ROI.
This is what total contract manufacturing services mean. It is the essence of an integrated approach to market realization and profit maximization. It is what we call CMOS: Contract Manufacturing As A Service.
