Mandate

Brand identity, conceptualisation and product compliance

The Nudge team needed a hand to help develop products that met various requirements to be commercialised and distributed on different sales channels and in different geographical locations. Novatize offered guidance through the development of product labels and packaging, through the selection of product identification systems, and through product compliance research.

Prior to this technical phase, the Novatize design team also actively participated in the creation of a brand guide, thereby laying the foundation for the visual identity of the project. In a nutshell, the mandate was to help materialise the Nudge team’s vision while ensuring the product line was ready for launch on the crazy American eCommerce market.

Objective

Build an eCommerce launch strategy and provide logistics advisory services

The eCommerce strategy is at the heart of Nudge’s business model. This is why the design and development of the brand’s transactional platform on Shopify is key and represents a competitive advantage. The Shopify experience is enriched through custom design and tools such as Recharge and Klaviyo that allow the brand to nurture customer relationships. The eCommerce strategy also encompasses a variety of online sales channels, including B2B and B2C marketplaces.

To ensure a smooth launch and solid logistical operations, Novatize guided Nudge in the selection of a third party logistics provider (3PL) and helped establish a standardised order-processing system. As Nudge lends itself to both direct to consumer (D2C) and business to business models (B2B), this meant that the 3PL partner was required to adapt to both realities.
