Support for bulk distribution of the Ecover brand

Project management

Co-building your bulk project for your brand

As each project is unique, we define the project management in cooperation with your teams. During the first exchange, we define together the scope of our intervention. The complexity of the project will determine the mandatory steps, we adapt our steps and the order of these steps to your needs. Want to get started?

The steps

1- Discovering your needs together

This first step allows us to know your expectations on bulk distribution, your market, the equipment compatibility and the potential development needs. We take the time to discuss your request in two stages, in order to analyse it and come back to you with an answer on the feasibility and the necessary steps for a successful outcome.

Step 1 Bulk for Brands project

2- Testing your products in bulk format

At this stage we will qualify the needs according to your products. We help you to switch to the bag-in-box format and test your products in order to measure the feasibility and quality of the service via our different bulk distributors. This step is very important to define the specific developments to be planned according to the viscosity of your product and the family of secondary and primary containers.
