San Francisco, CA February 28th, 2019
Silicon Valley startup Pooki’s Mahi® announced today Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay-Zeller grew luxe coffee subscription revenue by implementing stricter supply chain processes in early 2019; product requirements like California Prop 65 Warning, nutrition expiration, and intellectual property protection are prominently visible to customers.
Pooki’s Mahi Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay explains, “I built Pooki’s Mahi existing supply chain to support a just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing model enabling the company to control costs, manage inventory turns effectively, and to offer freshly roasted products to existing customers consistently. Pooki’s Mahi owns the supply chain including operations, fulfillment, and digital marketing to ensure customers consistently receive their orders promptly.”
“I audit Pooki’s Mahi supply chain performance, improve processes, and immediately replace under-performing firms. Firms lacking systems architecture expertise or public APIs will never meet Pooki’s Mahi technology and supply chain requirements. Pooki’s Mahi executives have a strong technical background, and built integrations between Pooki’s Mahi platforms managing sales, inventory, and product catalog for large retailers using cloud-based technologies,” continues the Silicon Valley executive.
Pooki’s Mahi Founder/CEO further explains, “Traditional 3PL platforms are not integrated into Pooki’s Mahi approved transportation partner and unable to handle global transportation. 3PL firms lack a technical team to fix inventory management issues, unable to handle shipments by customer type and treat Pooki’s Mahi supply chain challenges similarly to orders fulfilled by a marketplace. I receive a ticket number with canned messages generated by a robot. Identical status is provided for the same ticket. Issues are not fixed promptly. These firms will never satisfy Pooki’s Mahi requirements, provide excuses and never fix the core problems. ”
Pooki’s Mahi Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay-Zeller continues, “Pooki’s Mahi MeowHattan Project is a multi-year effort to build a technology platform that supports existing supply chain, overhaul operations, protect brands, and expand go-to-market activities for new product launches. I interviewed 1000+ potential firms. Existing partners in logistics, manufacturing, and inventory management are building blocks to Komo KittySM MeowHattan Project.”
Pooki’s Mahi is a technology company that follows strict supply chain management processes to improve existing products and platform. How Pooki’s Mahi manages product life cycle management is inspired by Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay-Zeller time at Fortune 500 companies leading large product launch teams. The Silicon Valley technology executive created Pooki’s Mahi supply chain management with transparency in mind. The repeat customers appreciate Pooki's Mahi efforts for providing all the product information.
The State of California approved California's Proposition 65 product labeling requirements in late April 2018. Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay-Zeller designed California Prop 65 label requirements in early 2018 with a target to launch the new product labels immediately after a decision was made. Pooki’s Mahi shipped the new product labels in the 100% Kona coffee pods, and new product launched in May 2018. Nutrition information, California Prop 65 and product information are designed onto the packaging label for all Pooki’s Mahi 100% Kona coffee pods, Kona KaKao™, Matcha Matcha Man®, Koffee KaKao™, Kona Kafpresso™, and Kafpresso™ coffee capsules.
The State of California requires firms with 10 or more employees selling a coffee product to anyone in California to provide warnings of exposures to listed chemicals in the products. California contains more than 900 chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects and/or reproductive harm. Product labels should have a warning regarding the exposure unless the firm qualifies for a specific exemption. The list includes many chemicals that are found in conventional household cleaners, foods, drugs, etc. California requires a warning label must be provided for coffee products sold online like through a marketplace such as Amazon or Walmart and catalogs.
Packages for authentic Pooki’s Mahi 100% Kona coffee pods have California’s Prop 65 warning accompanied by a yellow triangle. The yellow triangle has an exclamation point inside the triangle.
The warning is considered sufficient since the product label states Pooki’s Mahi Kona coffee products contains the name of the chemical known by the State of California to cause cancer and/or reproductive harm. Pooki’s Mahi CA Prop 65 warning is also designed on wrapper protecting 100% Kona coffee pods. “Warning: Consuming this product can expose you to chemicals including acrylamide, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and/or reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov. Contact support@pookismahi.com if there are questions.”
Actions for violating California Prop 65 may be brought against a manufacturer, producer, importer, supplier, distributor, or retailer buy government officials or by private individuals. The penalty for a violation can be up to 2500 per day per violation. Pooki’s Mahi Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay-Zeller found competitors coffee products sold through grocery stores and marketplaces are missing California Prop 65 Warning label.
