The Challenge

The brand’s legacy onboarding kits relied on generic items that lacked cohesion and impact. The procurement team needed a single hero product—unique, premium, and functional—that would meet global compliance and distribution needs while aligning with the brand’s high-end aesthetic.

Key Objectives

Replace stock onboarding items with a custom product

Design for both aesthetic impact and day-to-day utility

Ensure global compliance, shipping efficiency, and regional variation

Keep per-unit costs within budget despite premium customization

Strategy & Approach

Gloso proposed a sleek desk organizer that doubled as a wireless charger—tailored for the firm’s modern, tech-forward brand image. We handled the full product lifecycle, from industrial design and material testing to serialization, packaging, and delivery across 14 countries.
