01
Product portfolio & GTM chain
Helped translate Daka's mission into a defined supplement portfolio and go-to-market supply chain.
Success story
Daka Vitamins
From mission to market with one coordinated supply chain.
Daka Vitamins set out to build supplements for underserved communities — and needed a partner that could connect product development through customer fulfillment.
Watch their storyBefore EPC
- A mission to serve nutritional needs of Black consumers and underserved communities — without a commercially viable supply chain to launch.
- Needed more than a 3PL: a partner to coordinate product development, manufacturing, packaging, inventory, marketplace readiness, and fulfillment.
They didn't need a traditional 3PL. They needed an end-to-end operating partner from formulation through marketplace-ready fulfillment.
