Pooki’s Mahi ground rules ensures consistent execution from supply chain and go to market launch teams.
The purpose of our “Guide To Pooki’s Mahi Private Label Manufacturers Manifesto” is to set the ground rules for new customers before Pooki’s Mahi can manufacture private label coffee pods, private label teas or custom promotional products for a customer’s private label brand. Our private label manifesto’s lists the BOM (bill of material) items required from new customers to launch private label brands, private label coffees, or private label teas as custom promotional products prior to using Pooki’s Mahi patented framework.
Pooki’s Mahi vetted 50+ private label manufacturers for our prized Kona coffee pods, private label teas, private label Kona coffee pods and custom promotional products since 2011. Private label manufacturers in the food industry are in “dinosaur” times and are very slow to adapt to technologies commonly used by the high tech industry.
Common issues with private label manufacturers vetted by Pooki’s Mahi:
Pooki’s Mahi’s Experience: Larger single serves coffee pods manufacturers
Larger manufacturers require 25,000 pods to over 1 million single serves before initiating a conversation with a prospective custom coffee pods buyer. Estimate an average of 10-12 back/forth conversations before obtaining the required information from the prospective coffee pods manufacturer. Plan on an average of 8 weeks before obtaining lids from overseas pods manufactures and about 2 weeks for production and co-packing. Customers are charged an enormous fee to expedite the order. Be prepared for unprofessional (cyber-harrassment or cyber-bully) tactics from coffee pods manufactures: very aggressive sales calls for larger orders, 3-5 calls per week following up breaking the RFP (Request For Proposal) agreement, and running negative reviews.
Pooki's Mahi owns our supply chain (from soup to nuts) - not the manufacturer.
Pooki’s Mahi had horrible experiences with 12+ coffee pods manufacturers between since 2012 when Pooki’s Mahi’s Founder/CEO laid the foundation for our popular 100% Kona coffee pods product line. Approved single serves manufacturers are required to go through Pooki’s Mahi’s RFI (Request For Information for an initial assessment for cultural fit) and RFP (Request For Proposal to measure coffee pods manufacturers capabilities and cultural fit). Manufacturers will always blame the customer and never address manufacturing issues raised by Pooki's Mahi Founder/CEO.
Coffee pods manufacturers are required to sign off onall agreements including the FAI (First Article Inspections).
