By leveraging overseas production and end-to-end fulfillment, Gloso reduced onboarding kit costs by 45%—saving over $120,000 while delivering premium-quality materials on time for a national roadshow.
A rapidly growing SaaS company planned a multi-city roadshow to support client acquisition. Their vision included high-touch onboarding kits that would leave a lasting impression with VIP attendees. The challenge: create a premium unboxing experience without exceeding their limited
budget or missing tight event deadlines.
Gloso made it happen—on budget, on time, and on a level our team couldn’t believe.
With five cities on the calendar and less than two months to execute, the client faced high domestic vendor quotes—over $220 per kit—and the added complexity of kitting, warehousing, and shipping to multiple locations under tight timelines.
Gloso led the project from start to finish. We used overseas manufacturing partners to produce each kit component—drinkware, tech accessories, notebooks, and molded packaging—at factory-direct pricing. A bonded warehouse near the production source handled kitting and global logistics to ensure seamless delivery across all cities.
