Leo——Procurement-Ready Capabilities

1) One-stop, mixed-category sourcing & kitting

Builds bundled programs that combine notebooks/journals with branded accessories and organization SKUs—so buyers can source a complete line through one PO (e.g., pen loops, pockets, tabs, stickers; plus lifestyle & organization items). This reduces vendor count, speeds launches, and tightens QC across sets.

2) Total-cost-out design leadership

Uses a multi-country production footprint to engineer total landed cost down—optimizing country-of-origin, tariff exposure, and run-size mix across China (design/R&D and complex builds), Cambodia (efficient mass production), and a South Korea co-factory (added capacity and compliance). Outcome: lower duty risk, steadier lead times, and better unit economics.

3) Agile supply-chain management for rapid sampling & faster new-item velocity

OEM/ODM workflows, China-side development resources, and in-house QC gates enable quick sample turns and smoother scale-up—from first article through mid-run checks to pre-ship inspection—so new SKUs move from concept to shelf on schedule.
