Building a New Window Film Line from Scratch for an Australian Big-Box Supplier

Background

The client is an Australian big-box supplier that primarily supplies products to a major building-materials retail chain. After initial contact at a trade show, the client expressed strong interest in our solar-film products.

The client's challenges

• Lack of experience. The client had no prior experience with window film products, requiring us to provide foundational product knowledge.
• Material waste. The required product width did not match available materials, leading to low material-utilization rates.
• Small initial orders. The client needed multiple styles in small quantities during the initial phase, which increased the cost of stocking color boxes.
• Uncertain product selection. The client was unsure which styles would perform, adding risk to the initial offering.
• Price sensitivity. The client was highly sensitive to pricing, making cost management a priority.
  

Our solutions

• Responsive service. We responded quickly to the client's needs and questions, providing the necessary product knowledge.
• Custom product width. We customized the product to the client's required width to minimize material waste.
• Cost-effective stocking. We took on the responsibility of stocking color boxes ourselves to reduce costs for the client.
• 

The results

• Increased shelf space. Over several years, the client's shelf space in the retail chain grew significantly — from one container per month to two containers per month.
• Successful product-line development. We helped the client establish a new window film product line from scratch.
