JENTOOR / PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

From first brief
to finished batch.

A custom formula becomes a reliable product through a series of controlled decisions. Know what to provide, what to expect and what needs approval before moving forward.

THE DEVELOPMENT ROUTE

One process. Clear checkpoints.

A planning framework for your project. Packaging exploration can run alongside formulation; final approvals stay linked to controlled versions.

  2. 02Feasibility

  4. 04Scope

A change to the formula, material, site or package returns to the affected approval stage.

AGREE THE OWNERS

Shared work. Defined responsibility.

01 / BRAND

Set direction & approve

Own the commercial brief and brand decisions. Arrange qualified market-specific review of formula, label and claims; approve samples, artwork and agreed changes.

02 / JENTOOR

Coordinate the project

Connect development, quotation, production-route review and delivery planning. Confirm the scope, proposed facility and decision owners for the SKU.

03 / FACTORY & QUALITY

Manufacture & release

Control materials, production, records and testing. Factory quality personnel make the batch-disposition decision under the applicable quality system.

Record responsibilities in the project and quality agreements. Brand commercial acceptance does not replace factory quality release.

INPUT → WORK → OUTPUT → APPROVAL

The decisions behind the product.

  1. 01

    Define the product brief

    Brand input
    Target consumer, use occasion, intended market and claims, format, serving, pack count, quantity, budget and launch goal. Mark essentials separately from preferences.
    Development / factory work
    Jentoor coordinates the brief review with the development team and identifies missing decisions.
    Output
    A shared brief with requirements, decision owners and unresolved questions.

    Approval gateBrand approves the brief and names one person to consolidate decisions.

  2. 02

    Test technical feasibility

    Brand input
    Benchmark products, dietary exclusions, fixed ingredient requirements and market-review input.
    Development / factory work
    The proposed factory and development team assess dose capacity, ingredient compatibility, processing conditions and equipment fit. Jentoor identifies the proposed production route.
    Output
    Feasible options, technical tradeoffs, proposed facility and a list of risks to resolve.

    Approval gateBrand selects a route; technical owners resolve manufacturing blockers and the brand arranges qualified market-specific review.

  3. 03

    Select ingredients and dosage form

    Brand input
    Approved route, ingredient preferences, source restrictions and acceptable serving size.
    Development / factory work
    Development defines exact ingredient forms, amounts per unit and serving, assay basis, carriers, allergens and functional excipients. The factory reviews material and process compatibility.
    Output
    A versioned quantitative formula and preliminary material specifications.

    Approval gateBrand approves the formula direction. Formula ownership, confidentiality, exclusivity and substitution rights are agreed in writing.

  4. 04

    Align scope, cost and schedule

    Brand input
    Order quantity, pack configuration, destination, target cost and required testing or documentation.
    Development / factory work
    Jentoor coordinates a quotation covering ingredients, packaging, testing, development and tooling. Suppliers confirm material minimums and lead-time dependencies.
    Output
    An itemized scope, quotation assumptions and milestone schedule.

    Approval gateBoth parties agree inclusions, revision allowances, component minimums, payment triggers and the conditions that start or pause the schedule.

  5. 05

    Sample, evaluate and refine

    Brand input
    Consolidated feedback on a named sample version, separating required corrections from preferences.
    Development / factory work
    Development makes prototypes and records revisions. Evaluate size and serving burden, or taste, texture, mixing and aftertaste as appropriate to the format.
    Output
    A reference sample linked to its formula version, evaluation criteria and revision history.

    Approval gateBrand signs off the sample against agreed criteria. Unresolved feedback returns to development; sample approval alone does not authorize batch release.

  6. 06

    Approve the specification

    Brand input
    Brand quality requirements, destination requirements, desired shelf life and document expectations.
    Development / factory work
    Factory quality personnel define the product-specific test plan, methods, sampling, limits, laboratory and release authority. Development defines the stability evidence needed for the commercial package.
    Output
    Controlled product specification, quality agreement, testing plan and stability strategy.

    Approval gateTechnical and quality owners approve the controls; brand accepts the agreed specification and document package before production.

  7. 07

    Lock packaging and label artwork

    Brand input
    Brand files, responsible-business details, approved label copy, barcode requirements and destination receiving rules.
    Development / factory work
    The packaging team evaluates protection from moisture, oxygen, light, leakage and handling. Artwork is checked against the formula, serving, package dimensions and coding plan.
    Output
    Packaging specification, controlled artwork, printer proof and lot/date-code placement.

    Approval gateBrand obtains qualified label and claims review and gives written print approval. Factory packaging controls use the approved version.

  8. 08

    Procure and release materials

    Brand input
    Agreed commercial authorization and approval of any proposed material or packaging changes.
    Development / factory work
    The factory receives and identifies ingredients and packaging, holds them pending required checks, and documents acceptance against specifications.
    Output
    Released components, traceable material lots and confirmed production readiness.

    Approval gateFactory quality authorizes material use. Changes affecting formula, label, quality or agreed scope return to the relevant approval gate.

  9. 09

    Verify scale-up and manufacture

    Brand input
    Approved formula, reference sample and specifications; brand decisions on any scale-up changes.
    Development / factory work
    The factory runs the agreed pilot or scale-up review before routine production. It checks mixing, heating or cooling, filling, yield and packaging as relevant, then records commercial production and in-process checks.
    Output
    Scale-up findings, controlled manufacturing instructions and completed batch and packaging records.

    Approval gateTechnical and quality owners accept scale-up results. Brand approves changes to agreed product requirements before the commercial route proceeds.

  10. 10

    Review results and release the batch

    Brand input
    Any agreed brand review of batch documents and shipment acceptance requirements.
    Development / factory work
    Factory quality reviews representative test results, batch records, packaging checks and deviations. Out-of-specification results follow a documented investigation; retesting is not a search for a passing result.
    Output
    Documented batch disposition, batch-specific COA and agreed release records, with retained samples managed under the quality system.

    Approval gateFactory quality authorizes release only after applicable requirements are met. Any additional brand document approval is completed before shipment.

    Deliver and plan replenishment

    Brand input
    Confirmed destination, receiving contact, shipment instructions and assigned importer, broker and logistics roles.
    Development / factory work
    Jentoor coordinates the agreed shipment documents and handover. The factory links lots to cases; logistics providers follow the agreed shipping and receiving plan.
    Output
    Reconciled lot list, packing list, invoice, agreed quality documents and delivery records.

    Approval gateBrand or consignee accepts the delivery and documents. Record discrepancies, complaint contacts and change-control needs before reorder.
