Problem or Opportunity

We prevent the major skin diseases by preventing their occurrence, and we treat and cure them once they occur due to lack of prevention. We have a portfolio of well-segmented products under our MINi Care, Seep, Viefem and Dermique brands, dedicated to hand care and disinfection, specialized products for clinical use, feminine intimate care and the prevention and treatment of the main dermatological conditions.

We have made great progress in regulatory matters, trademark registration, market studies and, most importantly, in market tests that have been successful in countries such as the United States, Mexico, Ecuador and Peru. With all this, we have designed an international expansion plan based on introducing our brands in the retail and traditional channels of those countries, with the presence of local marketing and sales offices to support all the management.

Business model

PREMISE:
Distribution is what we consider our core business, in fact I define our business as: A distribution and brand development company that manufactures everything it sells to make it more efficient. Generally, those who manufacture a product think that manufacturing is their core business, nothing could be further from the truth, in the FMCG business, distribution and brand development is everything.
Under this premise, we have been optimizing our distribution systems year after year, reaching the maximum level of standardization recently in 2023, when we finally managed to turn it into a franchise.

THE MODEL:
The Exclusive Distribution Franchise (FED) is the result of all the good distribution practices implemented in the company over the years and consists of a geo-localized numerical distribution model, fully adapted to the specific needs of each market in terms of packaging, presentation, packaging, frequency of visits, frequency of deliveries, payment terms, brand marketing strategy and even delivery vehicles, In the recent case of Venezuela, due to the constant problems with fuel and the contraction of the market, we replaced the lorries and panel loaders with 800 kg motorcycles, which allowed us to serve more customers with smaller volumes, increase the frequency of deliveries, reduce fuel consumption and dependence by more than 79%, reduce the percentage of late payments and deliver all orders on time.

We focused on being present in as many low-volume outlets as possible, which we then developed in volume and coverage by brand and SKU, allowing us to grow on a solid, stable, sustainable, and scalable customer base.

The wide range of products allows us to serve the various marketing channels, which, together with a robust pricing strategy, means that the franchisee can serve distributors, wholesalers, retailers and even end users.

We rely on key performance indicators (KPIs) thanks to a modern Business Intelligence (BI) system based on Big Data, which, together with the use of mobility analytics, geolocation, and an appropriate marketing plan, gives no respite to the competition.

The exclusive distribution franchise by city has allowed us to reduce our payroll costs, reduce our logistics costs and optimize our HR structure, as the franchises are operated by third parties and run with their own lean and light HR structure.

Reason for sale

Our goal is to raise that amount to implement international expansion plans and increase the company's annual revenue. In the event that the interested parties do not accept a partnership, we plan to sell the brands, including the commercial strategies, but will seek to retain the manufacturing contract.
