Gembah: Because Your Brilliant Idea Deserves More Than a Napkin Sketch
Gembah is a product development platform that helps businesses and entrepreneurs bring their product ideas to life. They offer a complete suite of services, including research and ideation, product design and engineering, supply chain discovery, and production management. Clients can use the platform for the entire process or select specific services à la carte, making it easier for companies to fit Gembah only where they’re needed, and ultimately turn ideas into finished products.
Comprehensive Marketplace Model
Gembah operates as an all-in-one platform that covers the entire product development lifecycle:
It connects clients with over 500 vetted experts, including designers who have worked for major brands like Under Armour and Weber Grills.
The platform has relationships with over 2000 vetted factories across 8 different countries.
This marketplace model allows Gembah to match clients with the most suitable experts and manufacturers for their specific projects.
Depth of Expertise
Unlike typical product design agencies with limited in-house staff, Gembah's extensive network enables them to assign highly specialized experts to each project. For example, they can provide:
An industrial designer who worked on trail running shoes for Nike
The designer who created the original BuggaBoo stroller
Data-Driven Approach
Gembah employs a data-driven methodology for product research and development. They use terabytes of e-commerce data and predictive analytics to assess product opportunities. This approach helps clients make informed decisions before heavily investing in an idea.
They even offer a free product research report for prospective clients. Tell them about your product, share a few example competitors, and they will send you a genuine, customized report. You'll learn how to differentiate your idea, how much you can sell for, and what’s driving sales in your market.
Vetted Network
All factories and experts in Gembah's network are thoroughly vetted. Factories must adhere to strict requirements, ensuring responsible and well-run operations, including following ethical labor practices. This vetting process provides clients with confidence in the quality and ethics of their manufacturing partners.
Virtual Product Development Team
They have an extensive catalog of products that they manufacture, across a number of different categories. For these products they include Market Data Overview, Estimated Factory and Development Costs, and what the process is like start to finish. They leave very little gray area, so you know exactly what to expect.
Once a product concept is purchased, it is removed from the marketplace so that no one else can purchase the exact same model concept, eliminating worry about direct competitors with multiples of the same exact product going to handfuls of brands, like many other private label manufacturers.
Alongside that, they are not only catalog-based. They do work with custom product concepts, and if they don’t have the resources they need to create your product, they will have someone that does! There’s definitely a reason that they have so many 5-star reviews, and why companies go back to Gembah time and time again to extend their product lines.
Gembah effectively serves as a "virtual product development and supply chain team" for its clients. This model allows smaller businesses and entrepreneurs to access top-notch professionals across various disciplines, enabling them to compete at a higher level.
By combining a vast network of experts, comprehensive services, data-driven methodologies, and rigorous vetting processes, Gembah offers a unique and powerful platform for product development that sets it apart from traditional design agencies and other platforms in the industry.
