A product isn't ready for market just because it exists.
01Can it legally be sold?
02Can customers understand it?
03Can they buy it?
04Can you take their payment?
05Can you deliver it?
06Can you support them?
07Can you acquire the next customer?
08Do the economics work?
09Can the system handle growth?
Those are commercialization problems.We solve those too.
02Market access
Before you can sell it, you need a path to market.
Commercialization begins before the first sale.
Products entering the Colombian market may require regulatory, legal, labeling, corporate or category-specific work before they can be commercially launched.
Andes Scientific works with highly experienced specialized legal and regulatory partners, including international law firms with expertise in Colombian regulatory matters involving authorities such as INVIMA, ICA and other applicable agencies.
Depending on the product and project, we can coordinate the regulatory and legal work required to establish an appropriate commercial pathway.

Regulatory authorities · where applicable
INVIMAICAOther applicable authorities
Government authorities, not partners. Which one applies — if any — depends on the product.
The client does not have to find and independently manage the regulatory ecosystem. Andes Scientific can coordinate it as part of building the business. Requirements vary by product; approval is never guaranteed.
03Enter Colombia
You know your product. We know Colombia.
Entering a new country is rarely one problem. It is dozens of local problems appearing at once.
An international company should not have to learn every part of doing business in Colombia from scratch. Andes Scientific can become the local execution layer between the company and the Colombian market.
One local partner. The infrastructure required to enter the market.
04Strategy
Before we build the machine, we define how it should work.
Commercialization is not simply putting a product online. The product needs a commercial model.
Depending on the engagement, Andes Scientific can help work through:

A thinking tool, not a forecast. Real models are built per product with real cost, channel and market data.
05Brand
Give the product an identity.
The product needs to become something a customer can recognize, understand and choose.
Depending on the project, Andes Scientific can coordinate specialist creative partners across naming, positioning, brand identity, packaging design, messaging, content, photography and creative production.
We work with specialist agencies and creative partners appropriate to the project and manage that work as part of the broader commercialization program. The client still has one coordinated project.

06Commerce
Now give customers a way to buy it.
A brand needs commercial infrastructure behind it.
Depending on the business, Andes Scientific can build and coordinate the systems required to sell the product. The website is one component of a larger commerce system.
Customer → Website / channel → Product → Checkout → Payment → CRM → Order → Fulfillment → Customer data
07Operations
A sale is where operations begin.
The customer sees one purchase. Behind it is an operating system.
Depending on the project, Andes Scientific can help build and coordinate fulfillment, logistics, inventory workflows, customer communication, returns and the systems connecting them. Fulfillment and logistics may be delivered through specialist partners.
