Not one product — a matched range. Panels, thermostats, sensors and shading control that share a design language, a packaging system, a certification file and one technical owner.
A 6–12 SKU roadmap mapped to your market, priced at landed cost, sequenced so each product funds the next.
Shared bezel system, finishes, icon set and packaging, so a panel and a thermostat look like siblings.
One technical file structure covering the range: CE/UKCA, RoHS, REACH, EMC test reports, DoC templates.
Where possible, one factory per category with audited quality records — fewer suppliers means fewer surprises.
A distributor launching their own brand usually starts with one product, then discovers that the second product looks different, uses a different app, ships in a different box, and is certified under a different name. The catalogue stops looking like a brand.
The suite program builds the range as a system: one industrial design language, one firmware and app story, one test protocol, one document set — so product five costs a fraction of product one.
| Typical suite | Touch panels, thermostats, presence sensors, shading actuators, gateway, optional app |
| Shared elements | Bezel geometry, finish palette, icon set, packaging, documentation, ETS/product database structure |
| Branding | Logo on glass, silkscreen, packaging, manuals, app skin (white-label options available) |
| Certification | CE, UKCA, RoHS, REACH per product; KNX certification optional per SKU |
| Program length | 6–12 months for a first 6-SKU suite, phased by product |
| Commercial model | Per-SKU tooling + unit price; program management fee or margin-inclusive pricing |
Send me your target market, rough volumes and the product you have in mind. I will come back with a feasibility view, a realistic landed cost and the certification route — before you spend anything on tooling.
